Veeam Advances Data Protection with AI-Ready MCP Integration
Veeam® Software, a global name in data protection, has introduced new AI capabilities. Announced at VeeamON 2025, the company now supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard created by Anthropic.
With this support, AI systems can securely access backup data stored in Veeam repositories. This turns stored data into a valuable asset for AI-driven tasks.
According to Niraj Tolia, CTO at Veeam, the company is evolving from simply protecting data to enabling intelligence. Customers can now link Veeam-protected data with AI tools like large language models and vector databases.
This opens use cases such as searching documents with natural language, summarizing emails, automating compliance, and enhancing AI agents with enterprise data.
These updates show a shift in how businesses can use backup data. It's not just storage — it's a source of real-time insights.
Veeam's AI strategy is built on five pillars: infrastructure resilience, data intelligence, advanced security, AI-assisted admin support, and smart operations.
By supporting MCP, Veeam becomes a key connection between secure data and AI platforms. It allows faster, easier access to structured and unstructured data across the business.
Future releases of Veeam Data Cloud will include full MCP support. This simplifies AI integration and adds more value to data protection investments.
