Use HighByte Intelligence Hub to expose curated industrial data to AI agents using the embedded MCP Server.
Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard originally developed by Anthropic, promotes a formal method for delivering context to AI agents. Specifically, it provides a standardized way to connect AI agents to different data sources and tools.
Unfortunately, industrial data is often locked in data silos behind various protocols that are not MCP-enabled and do not provide the context that AI agents require to make sense of the raw data. By using the MCP Server in HighByte Intelligence Hub along with the solution’s data contextualization capabilities, you can “MCP-enable” any industrial system. Precisely control data curation and monitor its use. Leverage HighByte Intelligence Hub as an abstraction layer in your enterprise architecture to successfully scale your Agentic AI strategy across sites.
Do you need to expose your OPC server, PI System historian, Ignition platform, or other system to an Agentic AI platform? Use HighByte Intelligence Hub to collect, contextualize, and expose data from these OT systems to your Agentic AI Platform of choice using MCP.
The Industrial MCP Server in HighByte Intelligence Hub gives you direct control over what data AI agents can access and allows you to monitor how agents interact with that data. This control is achieved by exposing pipelines in the Intelligence Hub as “tools” that the agent can call. Rather than being restricted to “out-of-the-box” toolsets, you can build and customize tools as needed, answering specific questions from AI agents and limiting hallucinations.
The Intelligence Hub provides the flexibility to enable and control data exposure from various industrial systems rather than manage dozens of MCP servers from separate vendors, each with different security and static tooling.
As an example, you can use the Intelligence Hub to expose tools X, Y, and Z to an AI agent to accomplish Goal A for your mixing machine. After proving that single use case, you can take the same tools and AI agent to the next line, area, or site, deploy the Intelligence Hub, and enable the same use case regardless of the inconsistencies between devices and systems between the two sites. The Industrial MCP Server gives you the abstraction and tooling needed to scale data engineering work and enable AI use cases.
Expose data pipelines as “tools” to AI agents, including descriptions and parameters
Create custom endpoints purpose-built for AI agents, as opposed to providing a “wrapper” to generic endpoints
Create and govern data pipelines that can be invoked by MCP clients with the API Builder
Provide AI agents with a complete view of industrial data, including ready-to-use datasets from connected devices, SCADA, MES, historians, ERP, and LIMS for real-time or historical requests
