Veeam announces new integration for Anthropic's MCP
Veeam® Software, the #1 global leader in data resilience, recently announced a major leap forward in unlocking the value of enterprise backup data for artificial intelligence (AI). At its annual VeeamON conference, the company unveiled new capabilities that enable AI systems to securely access and utilise data stored in Veeam repositories — powered by support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard developed by Anthropic. This marks a pivotal moment in Veeam's AI roadmap, turning data protection into a foundation for smarter decision-making, richer insights, and responsible AI innovation. With MCP, Veeam enables seamless integration between its trusted data resilience platform and customers' AI applications — allowing data that was once just stored to now drive real-time value. 'We're not just backing up data anymore — we're opening it up for intelligence,' said Niraj Tolia, CTO at Veeam. 'By supporting the Model Context Protocol, customers can now safely connect Veeam-protected data to the AI tools of their choice. Whether it's internal copilots, vector databases, or LLMs, Veeam ensures data is AI-ready, portable, and protected.' AI Insights from the Data Organisations Already Protect With MCP integration, customers can now use their backup data across a wide range of AI-powered use cases, including: Discovering and retrieving related documents with natural language queries Summarising conversations from archived emails or tickets Automating compliance and e-discovery processes Enriching AI agents and copilots with enterprise-specific context These capabilities extend far beyond technical convenience — they enable a step change in how organisations think about the strategic value of their stored data. Secure by Design. Smart by Default.
