Can't I just use Claude for data analysis without CorralData?

You can ask Claude general questions, but Claude alone has no access to your actual business data — only what you manually paste in. It also has no domain-specific data models, no HIPAA compliance at the query layer, and no basis for benchmarking. CorralData MCP gives Claude a live, governed connection to your warehouse with all of that built in.

Is CorralData MCP HIPAA compliant?

Yes. CorralData enforces row-level security and HIPAA-compliant governance at the query layer — so when your AI assistant accesses data through CorralData MCP, those rules apply automatically.

How is CorralData MCP different from other AI data integrations?

The difference isn't the AI model — it's what the AI is talking to. CorralData does the hard work first: 600+ ETL connectors, a managed warehouse, and HIPAA governance — so every AI answer is trustworthy, not a guess built on stale exports.

How is CorralData MCP different from AskCorral Agent?

The difference is where you work. CorralData MCP is for people who already use an AI assistant like Claude throughout their day — it brings your CorralData data into that assistant. AskCorral Agent is built directly into the CorralData platform for users who work inside CorralData and want AI assistance right there.

How do I set up CorralData MCP?

Setup takes three steps: (1) Sign in to CorralData and authorize MCP access. (2) Add CorralData as an MCP server in your Claude or ChatGPT settings. (3) Start asking questions — your warehouse data is live in every chat. Full documentation is at docs.corraldata.com/kb/mcp.

CorralData MCP — Your AI Assistant Now Speaks Real Data

CorralData MCP

Your AI assistant now speaks real data.

What your AI assistant can't do on its own is know your business — your metric definitions, governance rules, benchmarks, and actual numbers. CorralData MCP adds what's missing.

What is CorralData MCP?

CorralData MCP is an integration that connects your CorralData account directly to Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible AI assistants. Once connected, your AI assistant has real-time, HIPAA-compliant access to your business data and warehouse — with your domain-specific data models, governance rules, and organization's benchmarks built in.

The problem

Your AI was missing one thing: your business data

AI assistants have been flying blind on your specific business. Even with connectors, they're pulling from raw, ungoverned sources — data that hasn't been structured, validated, or made HIPAA-compliant. The insight you need is only as good as the data behind it.

Traditional AI integration

The gaps

Four things your
AI assistant can't do

Intelligence without the right context, models, and guardrails produces confident-sounding guesses — not decisions you can act on.

🏗️

It doesn't know your data model

What does "rebooking rate" mean for your business? How is accrual revenue calculated? AI assistants don't know — and it will answer confidently anyway. That's what CorralData solves at the data layer. Definitions are standardized, datasets are structured, and metrics are built to reflect how your business actually works — so the AI isn't guessing at what any of it means.

🔒

It can't enforce governance or HIPAA

When you paste data or connect the AI assistant directly to a database, there are no governance controls — no row-level security, no HIPAA compliance at the query layer, no record of what was accessed. CorralData enforces all of this, so your AI assistant works within the same rules as the rest of your organization.

📊

It can't tell you if your numbers are good

Is 8% rebooking rate strong for your business, or is March always slower? The AI assistant has no way to know. CorralData holds your historical data — so your AI can recognize your own patterns, your seasonality, and what an actual anomaly looks like for you specifically.

⚙️

It can answer — but it can't act

Your AI assistant can surface an insight. But updating a record, triggering a downstream workflow, or pushing a change back to your source systems — with an approval chain and an audit trail — requires more than a conversation. CorralData connects the full loop: from AI-generated insight to governed action.

Why it's different

Not all AI data integrations
are equal.

The difference isn't the AI model. It's what the AI is talking to. CorralData does the hard work first — 600+ ETL connectors, managed warehouse, HIPAA governance — so every AI answer is trustworthy.

Live demo

The conversation —
grounded in real data.

When you ask a question, CorralData MCP translates it into a real SQL query: validated before it runs, cross-joining your sources (CRM, EMR, ad platforms) the same way a data engineer would. What comes back is based on your actual data, structured and governed, every time.

Use cases

How teams use CorralData
MCP every day.

Board Meeting Prep

"Help me prep for Friday's board meeting — what's the Q1 story? Where did we grow, where did we miss, and what's driving both?"

Your AI assistant pulls your actual Q1 data and helps you frame it into a narrative. You walk into the room with a point of view, not just a printout.

Service Line Analysis

"We're thinking about doubling down on injectables next quarter. What has that service line looked like — growth, volume, any locations leading the way?"

Your AI assistant surfaces the relevant trends and helps you pressure-test the decision with real data — in the same conversation where you're building the strategy.

Revenue Troubleshooting

"Revenue for March is coming back lower than I expected. Can you look at the data and help me figure out what's going on?"

Your AI assistant investigates across your actual records and tells you whether it's a real shift, a data issue, or something specific to a location.

Auto-Built Decks

"Build my board deck slides — revenue by location, top services, and month-over-month growth."

Your AI assistant pulls your live numbers and populates the slides with your actual data. You review and refine — you don't start from a blank template.

CorralData gives us the visibility we need to confidently scale our business. Clear insight into metrics like ROI and LTV:CAC is critical when growing across locations.
