How customers query their data in AI clients

Updated

Customers and your team ask questions in Claude, ChatGPT or another AI client. The agent queries your database through an authenticated MCP server you govern, which can keep each customer to its own data. A workspace holds your databases, the apps and MCP servers that read them, and the customers you give access to.

In a nutshell

Workspace

Your company’s account in Bonnard. Your team signs in to the console at app.bonnard.ai as members. Settings holds the workspace’s members and billing, and your own API keys.

Databases

A connection to one of your databases, added on the Data page. Its tabs: Tables (what Bonnard found), Tenancy (how your customers’ data is laid out, where the engine has options), and Settings. See PostgreSQL or the sample data.

Apps and MCP servers

An app and its MCP server read one database at their own production URL, https://app.bonnard.ai/mcp/<slug>. You govern each one on its tabs: who can connect (Overview), what the agent can do (Tools), which tables it finds (Data), and API keys (Settings). The production URL answers once you publish. See Create an app.

Customers and tenants

The organisations you give access to. Each has a tenant, the value that marks its data in your database, and users, who sign in to your apps. A role labels each user’s calls. See Customers and roles.

Identity providers

Connect Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Auth0, WorkOS, Google Workspace, or any OIDC provider on the Identity & access page, for customer SSO, tokens your identity provider issues, and staff sign-in. See Identity providers.

Observability

Every tool call made through your apps: calls, errors, and latency on Overview, one row per call on Logs, and totals per tenant on Usage. See Observability.

Charts and dashboards

A chart is one SQL query, drawn; a dashboard is a grid of charts, KPIs, and text. Save them from your AI client or build them in the console, and offer published dashboards through an app. See Charts and Published dashboards.

Claude, ChatGPT and other AI clients

Where people ask: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others. The agent calls the app’s tools, writes the SQL, and answers with charts. See Install in AI clients and Client compatibility.
