Existing Identity
MCP uses Report Server authentication and the identity associated with the authenticated user.
Report Server Professional
MCP Server
Connect AI to your reporting data without giving AI direct access to your database.
AcuGIS Report Server Professional provides a governed MCP interface to the datasets behind reports. AI clients can discover and query data the authenticated user is already permitted to access while Report Server remains the security boundary.
AI Access Through Report Server
MCP extends existing Report Server capabilities to compatible AI clients. Instead of connecting an AI client directly to a database, Report Server controls which datasets the user can discover and query.
Existing Permissions
Users can access only report datasets they are already authorized to view.
Controlled Queries
AI clients work through declared report datasets and parameters rather than receiving unrestricted SQL access.
A Controlled Path to Your Data
The AI client talks to Report Server, not directly to the underlying database. Report Server authenticates the request, applies existing access controls, and exposes a controlled dataset interface.
- No database credentials
- No arbitrary SQL
- Existing report permissions

Report Server
Authorized Report Dataset
Data Source
Discover, Understand, Query
Report Server exposes a focused set of MCP tools for working with authorized report datasets.
list_datasets
Discover the report datasets the authenticated user is permitted to access.
describe_dataset
Understand dataset fields, parameters, governance information, profiling, and lineage without exposing the underlying SQL.
query_dataset
Run the report's main dataset using its declared parameters and return the result through the governed Report Server interface.
MCP Is an Interface, Not an AI Model
Report Server does not add an LLM to your reporting infrastructure. MCP is a controlled interface that allows compatible AI clients to use capabilities Report Server already provides.
MCP Provides
- check_circle Dataset discovery
- check_circle Dataset metadata
- check_circle Controlled dataset queries
- check_circle Existing authentication
- check_circle Existing report permissions
MCP Does Not Provide
- remove An embedded LLM
- remove Database credentials
- remove Arbitrary SQL execution
- remove A new authorization system
- remove Unrestricted database access
Built on Existing Report Server Security
MCP uses the same Report Server identity and authorization model as the rest of the platform. Personal Access Tokens authenticate API access, and report permissions determine which datasets a user can access.
- Personal Access Token authentication
- Existing user identity
- Existing report ACLs
- No new database credentials
- No arbitrary SQL
- Professional feature gating
Available with Report Server Professional
MCP Server is a Professional capability for organizations that want to connect AI clients to governed reporting data while keeping Report Server in control of authentication, authorization, and data access.
Connect AI Without Bypassing Your Reporting Layer
Give compatible AI clients controlled access to the reporting data your users are already authorized to use.
