Informatica extends headless data management across AWS and Microsoft AI services

Informatica from Salesforce has announced new integrations with AWS and Microsoft to make its data management capabilities available inside agentic AI and analytics workflows.

The announcements, made on 20 May at Informatica World 2026, centre on Informatica’s headless data management approach. Its Model Context Protocol servers and CLAIRE Agent skills are being made available across AWS AI services, while its headless Intelligent Data Management Cloud capabilities are now available in Microsoft Foundry. Informatica has also expanded its Microsoft Fabric integration for large-scale data ingestion and analytics.

The updates address a recurring enterprise AI problem: AI agents need governed, traceable, and high-quality data before they can act reliably across business processes. Informatica is aiming to make data management services easier to discover and use within the platforms where organisations are already building agents and analytics workflows.

AWS integrations expose Informatica tools to agent workflows

On AWS, Informatica is integrating with AWS Agent Registry, which provides a place for customers to discover, share, and reuse AI agents, tools, and agent skills across their enterprises.

The company is also making several Informatica MCP servers available through AWS Agent Registry and Amazon Quick. These include tools for exploring metadata, improving data quality, and managing master data. The aim is to let developers, AI and data teams, and business users add Informatica’s data capabilities into agentic workflows without building custom integrations.

Informatica’s CLAIRE Agent skills are also being exposed as APIs for discovery and use within agentic workflows in Amazon Bedrock AgentCore and Quick. These skills are designed to help users automate data remediation and master data management tasks within agents running on AWS.

Rahul Auradkar, President & GM, Data Foundations, Salesforce, said, “By plugging our data management intelligence directly into AWS agentic workflows, we are giving developers and business users the tools they need to build agents that act on trusted, governed, and contextual data. This ensures that high-quality enterprise data management is accessible to all business personas, not just technical teams.”

Informatica said its MCP servers are intended to address three data issues that can weaken enterprise AI deployments. The Metadata Explorer MCP server helps agents understand asset classifications and business terms. The MDM MCP server helps prevent agents from acting on fragmented or duplicate records. Data quality MCPs validate information, including address and location data, at the point of entry before errors move into downstream systems.

Microsoft Foundry and Fabric gain deeper Informatica support

Informatica has also deepened its collaboration with Microsoft by making headless IDMC MCP servers generally available within Microsoft Foundry. This allows Azure customers building agents in Foundry to connect to Informatica data management services across hybrid and multicloud environments.

The available services include Cloud Data Governance and Catalog Metadata Search, Cloud Address Verification, Customer Identification, Job Management, and Data Provisioning. These capabilities are designed to give AI agents access to trusted, authoritative, and traceable data context.

Informatica has also expanded IDMC’s Cloud Data Integration support for Microsoft Fabric. The update brings Mass Ingestion and Change Data Capture services for Fabric Data Warehouse, allowing IDMC customers to ingest billions of rows each month into Fabric OneLake or Fabric Data Warehouse while using Change Data Capture to reduce compute time and costs for keeping data synced.

The company said its connector ecosystem supports ingestion from more than 300 enterprise sources, helping customers use governed and high-quality data within Fabric for analytics and AI workloads.

Availability differs across AWS and Microsoft services

Informatica MCP Servers on AWS Agent Registry are available in preview for US regions. Informatica MCP Servers on Quick are generally available in US regions, while CLAIRE Agent skills on AWS Agent Registry and Quick are available in preview globally.

For Microsoft, Informatica’s headless IDMC MCP servers are now generally available within Microsoft Foundry. The expanded Microsoft Fabric integration brings Mass Ingestion and Change Data Capture services for Fabric Data Warehouse.

The announcements show Informatica extending its data management layer into the agent and analytics environments used by major cloud customers. Rather than treating data preparation, governance, and quality as separate steps, the integrations are intended to make those services accessible within the workflows where AI agents and analytics systems are being built.
