App Connect Enterprise is now the context enabler for AI agents, enabling them to seamlessly and securely access enterprise data, APIs and applications. This turns isolated AI assistants into enterprise-aware AI experts that understand business context and support meaningful outcomes across the organization. Through the App Connect MCP server, AI developers can expose more than 2,800 connector actions and existing REST API flows, allowing agents to use trusted enterprise context and orchestrate end-to-end business processes with built-in governance, transformation and runtime control.
