## How DreamFactory connects Claude to enterprise data

Anthropic created the Model Context Protocol, and Claude is MCP-native — which makes DreamFactory’s built-in MCP server the natural bridge: it turns your databases into standardized MCP tools that Claude can use, inside clients like Claude Desktop and agent frameworks, without custom integration code.

Every Claude query runs through your identity provider and role-based access control, is limited to the tables and fields you allow, and is fully logged — and because DreamFactory is self-hosted, the whole path stays inside your network.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why does MCP matter for Claude specifically?

MCP is the protocol Anthropic created for connecting models to tools and data, and Claude supports it natively. DreamFactory generates an MCP server from your databases, so Claude can query them as governed tools with no custom code.

### Can Claude update data or only read it?

Both, under your control: role-based permissions define exactly which operations — read, create, update, delete — each role can perform on each resource.

### What does Claude actually see from our databases?

Only what your governed endpoints return to the queries you permit — scoped by role, masked at field level where configured, and logged. The DreamFactory layer itself is self-hosted; note that with hosted Claude, permitted query results do transit Anthropic’s API like any model input.
