Komprise Universal File MCP gives any AI tool governed access to just the right data across every storage silo, so you get better answers at a lower token cost. It builds on the actionable data intelligence Komprise already delivers through the Global Metadatabase, which indexes file and object metadata across NAS, cloud and object storage with no data movement.
Vendor-specific MCP servers show AI only a slice of your data, and MCP bloat drives up token costs. Watch Krishna Subramanian, Paul Chen and Darren Cunningham show how one universal MCP solves both, with live demos for enterprise IT and healthcare.
Learn how to:
- Query data across every storage silo from any AI tool through one MCP.
- Cut AI token costs by filtering out irrelevant, outdated and duplicate files with Deep Analytics.
- Keep AI governed with user-level permissions and a full audit trail.
- Turn answers into action with Smart Data Workflows for AI ingestion and sensitive data management.
Whether you run AI projects or the storage behind them, see how actionable data intelligence turns unstructured data into AI-ready data.

What Your Teams Can Do with Komprise Universal File MCP
Researchers and clinicians
Find the right data fast
Ask an LLM to find pathology images tied to specific studies and time ranges. Komprise filters by system metadata, DICOM metadata enriched with KAPPA data services, user permissions and context, so researchers get exactly what they are authorized to see.
Enterprise IT
Get answers and take action across all storage
Ask questions about data across all storage from any GenAI tool. Find all IP data from a business unit, tag it and set up a workflow to confine it for review. Spot personal videos consuming flash capacity, or find project data older than six months that could be tiered with approval. IT can also authorize non-IT users to take similar actions.
Customer Perspective
“Opening up clinical and research data to AI tools means my team needs to review who could see what, case by case, putting security in the middle of every request. With Komprise Universal File MCP, the query respects the permissions a user already has and leaves us a record of what went to the model. Our researchers get their data faster, and IT is not managing a separate connector for every storage system.”
– Stephen Clark, Director of Information Security, Children’s Medical Center, Dallas
Komprise Universal MCP FAQs
What is Komprise Universal File MCP?
Komprise Universal File MCP is a single Model Context Protocol interface for AI agents and LLMs to query file and object data across NAS, cloud and hybrid storage silos. The petabyte-scale Global Metadatabase gives AI a uniform structure for unstructured data, and KAPPA data services enrich it with context such as industry, sensitivity and users. The result: curated, governed responses with just the right data for each AI use case.
How is it different from a storage vendor MCP server?
A storage vendor MCP server sees only the data on that vendor’s storage, so AI gets a partial view and you manage one MCP per silo. Komprise Universal File MCP covers all your storage through one MCP, independent of any storage vendor, which cuts MCP bloat and the token costs that come with it.
Who in the enterprise can use it?
Anyone with an MCP-compatible AI tool and the right permissions. Researchers search for study data, business teams and AI agents pull curated content into workflows, and IT diagnoses storage issues and acts on them. Each user sees only the data they are already authorized to access.
How does it reduce AI token costs?
Deep Analytics filters out irrelevant, outdated, conflicting and duplicate files before they reach AI. Komprise progressive response loads metadata first and pulls full file contents only when needed, so AI processes less data to get to an answer.
Do I have to move or rehydrate data to use it?
No. Komprise Universal File MCP queries data where it lives. Tiered and archived data stays accessible through Transparent Move Technology, with no rehydration.
How does it keep AI access governed?
Every query runs under the requesting user’s existing access permissions. Komprise audits what data went to which AI tool, so IT keeps control as more people use AI on enterprise data.
What is actionable data intelligence?
Actionable data intelligence means you don’t stop at insight into your unstructured data; you act on it. With Komprise, an AI query can trigger a Smart Data Workflow to detect sensitive data, feed AI or a lakehouse with Komprise Intelligent AI Ingest or export results as an Apache Iceberg table through Transparent File Tables.
