Product Spotlight: ThoughtSpot’s Agentic MCP Server

We’re thrilled to announce the general availability of the ThoughtSpot Agentic Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server. With our Agentic MCP Server, you can embed enterprise-grade, natural language analytics directly into the AI platforms you already use—like Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, and OpenAI ChatGPT—and any custom AI agents built on the MCP standard.

With the Agentic MCP Server, your AI can do more than chat – it can:

•  Ask complex data questions

• Deliver precise, actionable insights

• Stay grounded in your enterprise truth

This is the future of AI + analytics, working seamlessly together.

Kicking Off FY26: A Look Inside ThoughtSpot's Company and Sales Kick-Off

Our global ThoughtSpot team recently came together in Scottsdale for our Company Kick Off and Sales Kick Off—an energizing start to FY26. We aligned on our vision for the year ahead: to execute with precision, lead with purpose, and continue transforming the data and AI industry.

Beyond strategy, we spent the week learning, connecting, and celebrating what makes us stronger—winning, together.

💡A Look Back at CKO/SKO:

• Our offices in India hosted a virtual watch party to celebrate the kick-off. The team also honored India’s Independence Day with a special celebration.

• We recognized key moments and outstanding achievements across the company in the last FY, including our inaugural Icon Awards.

• The week was filled with powerful strategy sessions and meaningful team building as we gear up for a year of growth.

Here's to shaping the future of data and AI, one breakthrough at a time.

AI Lab with Just Eat Takeaway.com

“Did Somebody Say AI Analyst?” That was the theme of our recent AI Lab with the Just Eat Takeaway.com team, where we explored how Spotter is transforming analytics. The big takeaway? Metadata context is king. Richer semantic models mean sharper, faster insights.

Participants were amazed to see Spotter answer complex commercial questions in seconds, unlocking weekly time savings for Strategic Account Managers. A huge thank-you to Nico Alomar and Khalil G. for showcasing how data curiosity, paired with ThoughtSpot, drives extreme self-service and productivity.

September 10: Product Spotlight Livestream

Legacy analytics are limited—tied to BI platforms instead of being built into your products, locked in dashboards rather than in the hands of leaders, and restricted to structured data. As AI makes these limitations clearer, it's time to break through and get agentic intelligence into the hands of everyone.

If you’re building products that need intelligent analytics or leading teams that demand smarter decisions, join our Product Spotlight Livestream on September 10 to see how you can break through the critical barriers of legacy BI and get real ROI from your data.

You'll learn how to:

• Embed on-brand, agentic intelligence directly into your product experience.

• Connect all your data—structured or unstructured—within AI agents.

• Deploy agentic intelligence into any platform for limitless possibilities.

• Build trust with a semantic layer that powers your boundaryless analytics.
