# How customers query their data in AI clients > The building blocks that let customers and your team query your data from Claude, ChatGPT and other AI clients, and where each lives in the console. Updated: 2026-10-12 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](#workspace): your company's account at `app.bonnard.ai`. - [Databases](#databases): connections to your data. - [Apps](#apps-and-mcp-servers): an app and an MCP server on one database, which you govern. - [Customers](#customers-and-tenants): the organisations you give access to, and their users. - [Identity providers](#identity-providers): sign-in through your own identity provider. - [Observability](#observability): every call, recorded. - [Charts and dashboards](#charts-and-dashboards): answers worth keeping. - [AI clients](#claude-chatgpt-and-other-ai-clients): where people ask. ## 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. [Image: The Overview page: 1 app live, 1 database connected, 3 tools exposed, and the Apps table with Acme analytics (sample) at /mcp/acme-analytics-sample, live] ## 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](https://bonnard.ai/docs/connect-data/postgresql.md) or the [sample data](https://bonnard.ai/docs/connect-data/sample-data.md). [Image: The Available connections card: PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Redshift, ClickHouse, MySQL / MariaDB, and MSSQL under Databases, PostHog under Integrations, and Ecommerce under Demo data] ## Apps and MCP servers An app and its MCP server read one database at their own production URL, `https://app.bonnard.ai/mcp/`. You govern each one on its tabs: [who can connect](https://bonnard.ai/docs/apps/audience.md) (**Overview**), what the agent can do (**Tools**), [which tables it finds](https://bonnard.ai/docs/connect-data/table-curation.md) (**Data**), and API keys (**Settings**). The production URL answers once you [publish](https://bonnard.ai/docs/apps/publish-and-staging.md). See [Create an app](https://bonnard.ai/docs/apps/create-an-app.md). [Image: The Overview tab of the app Acme analytics (sample): the Endpoints card with the Staging and Production URLs, and the Audience card set to Internal] ## 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. [Image: The Customers page: customer, user, and active counts, and a table of customers] ## 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. [Image: The Add connection provider grid: Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Auth0, WorkOS, Google Workspace, and Generic OIDC] ## 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. [Image: The Observability page on its Overview tab: call, error rate, latency, and rows cards, and calls over time] ## 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](https://bonnard.ai/docs/charts/bar.md) and Published dashboards.

The agent calls the app's tools, writes the SQL, and answers with charts.
