Violet Agent

What is Violet Agent?

Violet's MCP-powered Agent gives AI tools secure access to your structured Violet data. It uses the Model Context Protocol to work seamlessly with AI assistants like Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT.

This enables you to create powerful insights across all of your data sources, or just get quick answers - and all through natural language.
