The Model Context Protocol (MCP) acts as a universal translator between LLMs and data sources, eliminating complex platform-specific requirements. Our new open source MCP server for ODBC enables seamless integration of any ODBC-accessible data into RAG pipelines.

This week’s edition of my @LinkedIn newsletter shines a light on the impact of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) across multiple computing eras—leading right up to today.

We’ve arrived at a moment where loose coupling principles are cool (and super useful) again.

Historically, software quality has been weakened by the dilution that occurs as conceptual ideas are handed off from specification → coding → QA → documentation—each step involving people with different skill sets, incentives, and interpretations.

A new era begins, where that gap can finally close.

These operations include:

- Native and virtual database queries via SQL, SPASQL, SPARQL, and GraphQL
- Metadata exploration across relational tables and knowledge graphs
- DB Admin & Governance
- Interaction with all bound Large Language Models (LLMs)
- Integration with AI agents
- etc..

On the client side, OPAL can bind to operations (tools) published by any MCP server that supports Streamable HTTP or Server-Sent Events (SSE).

On the server side, its operations (tools) are exposed to any MCP-compliant client.

💥Boom!

The MCP Server for our OpenLink Software AI Layer (OPAL for short) is now generally available for both cloud-based and on-premise deployment.

This sophisticated and secure implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) supports both client and server roles:

In addition to our #MCP servers for ODBC, JDBC, PyODBC, and SQLAlchemy, we now have one for ado.xn--netbringing-0g3f .NET runtime support into the mix.

At this point, we’ve covered all the major protocols needed to build data source–agnostic AI Agents via MCP.

One of #VirtuosoRDBMS’s many superpowers is its ability to emit HTML directly from its #DBMS core—unlike #PHP, #JSP, or #ASP, where HTML generation happens separately. With native HTTP support, Virtuoso handles this seamlessly for powerful, data-driven web applications!

The OpenLink AI Layer (#OPAL) now supports more #LLMs, including #DeepSeek, DeepSeek-R1, and Alibaba’s #Qwen, alongside OpenAI’s GPT, X.AI’s Grok, and Anthropic’s Claude families.
