Data Sources Overview

Estimated reading time: 5 minutes

clariBI connects to your data four ways: through the MCP catalog (30+ vendors, one click, OAuth 2.1), native OAuth (Google Analytics, Meta Ads, Jira, Confluence), direct database connections (PostgreSQL, MySQL, …), and file uploads (CSV, Excel, PDF OCR). Pick the shape that fits the source.
