Turn every data source into a table. Query them together.

01Connect your sources

Point Coral at your APIs, databases and files. Each becomes a readonly schema.

coral source add github

coral source add linear

coral source add slack

— 3 sources · 18 tables

02Query across them with SQL

JOINs across any combination of sources. Coral handles auth, pagination, rate limits and schema mapping.

SELECT m.text, m.author, i.status

FROM slack.messages m

JOIN linear.issues i

ON m.text LIKE '%' || i.key || '%'

WHERE m.channel = '#engineering'

AND i.status != 'done'

ORDER BY m.ts DESC LIMIT 5;

— Slack × Linear · 3 rows · 190ms

03Plug it into any agent or framework

Use Coral over MCP or from the CLI. One runtime shared across agents.

Connect your sources

Point Coral at your APIs, databases and files. Each becomes a readonly schema you can explore and query.

Query across them with SQL

Use standard SQL with JOINs across any combination of sources. Coral handles auth, pagination, rate limits and schema mapping.

Plug it into any agent or framework

Use Coral over MCP or from the CLI. One runtime shared across agents.

Turn usage into semantic context

Coral learns relationships, recommended joins, and schema hints from every query.

Agents are more accurate and cost efficient with Coral

We benchmarked Coral vs data source MCPs on the complex tasks that typify coding agent workloads. With Coral, Claude Code is ↑ 31% more accurate and ↓ 70% lower cost.

See the full methodology and results.

Directly With Coral

Accuracy +31%

Cost -70%

Built for production agent workloads

Read-only by design

Coral is a read layer, so agents can query across sources without mutating upstream systems. Safety without brittle sandboxing.

Permissions that fit agent workflows

Scoped tokens, workspace isolation, and per-source permissions. Give agents exactly the access they need and nothing more.

Efficient on every query

Query pushdown, caching, and efficient pagination keep queries responsive while reducing unnecessary API calls and token-heavy tool loops.

Adapts to real query patterns

Coral uses query patterns, schema access history, and source statistics to make discovery, caching, and execution better over time.

Give agents the context that changes outcomes

Unblock broken changes by combining PRs, CI failures, and linked issues in one query.

SELECT pr.number, pr.title, ci.failed_step, li.key AS linked_issue

FROM github.pulls pr

JOIN buildkite.builds ci ON ci.commit_sha = pr.head_sha

Developer FAQ

Why shouldn't I write API wrappers?

Wrappers solve one source at a time. Coral centralizes auth, retries, pagination, rate limiting, schema mapping, caching, and cross-source joins once for all agents.

How does Coral relate to MCP?

MCP provides a standard for connecting AI tools to data sources. Coral sits between your agents and your data sources, adding governance, cross-source joins, and caching on top. You can use Coral alongside MCP or as a standalone data layer — it provides a SQL interface that works with any agent framework.

Does Coral store my data?

Coral stores a small amount of contextual metadata locally and queries your APIs on demand. Hot paths are cached locally with a TTL.

Do I need to move data into a warehouse first?

No. Coral connects directly to your existing SaaS APIs, databases, and object stores. There's no ETL pipeline, no data migration, and no warehouse required. Your data stays where it is.

Is Coral an agent framework?

No. Coral is a data layer, not an agent framework. It provides a single SQL connection that any agent — regardless of framework — can use to access governed data across your systems.

Does my data leave my cloud?

No. Coral runs locally on your machine or infrastructure. Your data never leaves your environment — queries are executed against your sources directly and results stay on your infrastructure.
