Natoma’s platform, which provides MCP-based tool access along with governance and observability capabilities, will be integrated into Snowflake to help enterprises securely connect Cortex Agents, Snowflake Intelligence, Cortex Code, and other AI platforms with enterprise systems spanning SaaS applications, cloud environments, VPCs, and on-premises infrastructure through MCP servers, the company said.
Essentially, Natomi will provide the control and governance fabric for these connections, it added.
Why governed MCP matters for CIOs
That control and governance fabric is increasingly becoming essential for CIOs, according to analysts, as real-time autonomous agentic workloads spanning multiple systems and environments get increasingly connected via MCP.
“MCP is becoming the connective tissue for enterprise agents, but without identity, policy, privileged access controls, and auditability, it can quickly become a shadow AI risk,” Phil Fersht, CEO of HFS Research, said.
