🔗 MCP access for your whole team

The Abacum MCP connector is no longer admin-only. Anyone on your team can now connect Abacum to their AI assistant and ask questions of their data, safely scoped to what they're already allowed to see.

✨ What's new
Members can connect the connector and query their data conversationally. To keep this safe, it reads from the tables and charts in your Spaces: when someone asks a question, the AI looks for the answer in the Spaces they already have access to. People can only ever query data that's been shared with them.

⚙️ How it works
We're adding new tools that fetch data from the tables and charts in your Spaces, giving members access for the first time. The existing tools that fetch data directly from your models stay available for admins and super admins.

The new tools also change how data is fetched. Instead of loading an entire table into the conversation, the data is uploaded to a fast query engine and the AI runs targeted queries against it, receiving only the results it asked for. Far less data moves back and forth, which means quicker answers and far fewer tokens, so lower cost and less chance of hitting context limits on longer conversations.

📌 Good to know
MCP access is intended for up to ~20 users per organization. Connecting more works today, but we may introduce limits later — reach out to your account manager if you expect heavy usage.
