Demo Tutorial: PhoenixAI MCP for Claude/AI Agents
See how the new PhoenixAI Cloud MCP Server lets you connect PhoenixAI Cloud clusters to AI agents and ask natural language questions about your clusters, tables, and live data. In this demo, Kiran Kamreddy, Head of Cloud Products & Strategy at PhoenixAI, shows how to enable the MCP Server, configure authentication, connect it to an AI assistant, and use it to explore data, generate insights, and create visualizations. You’ll also learn how PhoenixAI keeps security built in with OAuth 2.0 authentication, RBAC enforcement, audit logging, and region-specific MCP deployments. Watch to learn how PhoenixAI Cloud MCP Server helps teams bring AI-assisted workflows to production data while maintaining governance, access control, and security. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timestamps 00:00 — Intro (what the PhoenixAI Cloud MCP server is — query clusters and data in natural language) 00:27 — Security design (no stored credentials, OAuth2, RBAC enforcement, audit logs) 01:26 — Enable the MCP server (Account Settings → Advanced Settings; beta, with consent screen) 03:30 — Configure OIDC and JWT cluster authentication (prerequisites) 05:06 — Connect in Claude (add custom connector, enter the per-region URL, complete OAuth login) 07:42 — Query 1: List accessible clusters, databases, and tables (verified against cloud) 10:06 — Explore SSB data: customer regions, market segments, revenue, suppliers (each step validated against real SQL) 15:29 — Complex query + chart generation (top Asia supplier's yearly revenue & profit, multi-table joins + CTE, ending in a trend graph) 19:04 — Access-control demo + closing (RBAC correctly returns an error for unauthorized databases) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Learn more at https://www.phoenixdata.ai/ Connect with us: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/phoenixai-data/ Twitter: https://x.com/phoenixdataai CelerData Website: https://www.phoenixdata.ai/ StarRocks GitHub: https://github.com/StarRocks/StarRocks StarRocks Website: https://www.starrocks.io/ Slack: https://starrocks.io/redirecting-to-slack #AgenticAnalytics #DataArchitecture #DataEngineering #AIAnalytics #AgenticAnalytics #LLM #OpenAI #ChatGPT #Claude #AIAgents #AnalyticsEngineering #DataInfrastructure #AISearch #ConversationalAI #DataStack #MCPServer #DataAnalytics #RealTimeAnalytics #RealTimeData #OLAP #DataAnalyst #DataEngineer #DataInfrastructure #databaseprogramming
