Presented by: Alexander Tsikinovsky, Ashish Jain, Oracle
Explore the AI capabilities introduced with Essbase 26ai, with a focused technical walkthrough of Model Context Protocol (MCP) support. For OCI Marketplace deployments, we will cover managed MCP capabilities; for independent deployments, we will cover the Python-based MCP server approach. Attendees will learn how MCP clients connect to Essbase, including client setup, OAuth-based authentication, security considerations, HTTPS/certificates, and administrative practices for governed AI-assisted analytics.
