Your AI, your data. Connected at last.
Use MCP for agent connectivity plus an API for custom tools and workflows.
MCP is winning. Ballast is how you use it.
Every major AI tool is adopting MCP. Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf—they all speak the same protocol now.
But MCP needs data to be useful. That's where most teams get stuck. Ballast is the data layer that makes MCP actually work.
Connect your sources to Ballast. Ballast exposes them via MCP. Your AI tools query through Ballast. Permissions enforced. Queries logged. Done.
Same data, any client
Your team uses different AI tools. That's fine. Ballast doesn't care which client makes the request—permissions and audit trails apply everywhere.
Claude Desktop
Native MCP integration. Query any collection, semantic search, create dashboards.
ChatGPT
Connect via OpenAI plugins or API. Data retrieval, context injection, function calling.
Custom Agents
REST API for any MCP-compatible agent. Full data access with RBAC enforcement.
What teams actually build
Real workflows powered by connected data
AI-Powered Support
Give your support bot access to customer data, tickets, and documentation. It answers with real context, not hallucinations.
User asks about order status → Agent queries Salesforce + Stripe → Responds with accurate info
Internal Q&A
Employees ask questions about company data without searching five tools. "What were Q3 sales?" gets a real answer.
"What were Q3 sales?" → Agent queries databases → Returns formatted answer
Automated Reporting
Workflows that generate reports on a schedule. Weekly sales → agent queries → dashboard created → sent to Slack.
Weekly sales report → Agent queries analytics → Creates dashboard → Sends to Slack
Simple REST API

},
body: JSON.stringify({

})
});
// AI generates insights
const insights = await results.json();
console.log(insights.answer); // Summarized response
