About Event

AI agents are rapidly moving from experimentation to production, but their value is only as good as the data they can access.

This session explores what it looks like in practice when AI agents connect directly to authoritative data infrastructure. What changes when agents can call trusted sources directly?

What does this make possible, and what does it make risky?

When an AI agent needs to verify a company director, check a property title, or confirm a compliance status, it needs structured, real-time access to authoritative and regulatory sources, and not scraped web pages or stale datasets.

Using InfoTrack’s production MCP server as a case study, we’ll explore how authoritative data can be made available to AI agents through structured, machine-callable tools. The demo will show how an MCP server can expose authoritative data as secure, structured tools that agents can call at runtime.

There will be a short presentation, a live demonstration, followed by open discussion. We will walk through how its production MCP (Model Context Protocol) server makes these data sources available as structured, machine-callable tools, purpose-built for AI agents to consume securely at runtime.

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of what “AI-ready data infrastructure” can look like in practice, and a practical, grounded view of how authoritative data can be surfaced to AI systems without compromising security, provenance, or audit requirements.
