Samsara MCP Brings Live Operational Context Into the AI Tools Teams Already Use<\/b><\/p>\n

Customers can now analyze their own Samsara data alongside information from other business systems with existing permissions intact<\/i><\/p>\n

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nSamsara (NYSE: IOT), the pioneer of the Connected Operations\u00ae Platform, today announced Samsara MCP (Model Context Protocol), a direct connection that enables customers to bring their Samsara operational data into the AI assistants, agents, and applications of their choosing without requiring a custom integration. Authorized users can analyze live information from their Samsara environment alongside data from other business systems, extending the company\u2019s open platform into customers\u2019 AI workflows.<\/p>\n

\nSince its inception, Samsara has built an open platform that connects physical operations with the systems that run the rest of the business. Its ecosystem of more than 400 integrations, along with APIs and developer tools, lets customers and partners build on that foundation. Built on the same live operational data layer as Samsara Assistant, MCP makes operational data available to customers\u2019 AI tools as Samsara adds capabilities, without requiring customers to rebuild their integrations. Together, MCP and Agent Studio, introduced at Samsara\u2019s Beyond 2026<\/a> customer conference, give customers two supported paths for building AI workflows around their operational data: create agents within Samsara or connect their owned Samsara data to their own third-party AI systems to get a more holistic view of their organization.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cOur customers are building AI into more of their business, and decisions in areas like finance and HR need to reflect what\u2019s happening in the field. Samsara provides that operational understanding,\u201d said Brendan O\u2019Driscoll, VP of Platform at Samsara. \u201cWith MCP, customers can bring their own Samsara data into the systems and AI tools those teams already use, connecting the work of running their operations with the work of running their business.\u201d<\/p>\n

How it works<\/b><\/p>\n

\nCustomers can now connect their own third-party AI applications to Samsara using their existing credentials, including single sign-on. Access remains limited to their organization and existing permissions, with every request linked to the person making it. If someone cannot see information in Samsara, their connected AI tool cannot access it either.<\/p>\n

\nOnce connected, customers can ask questions about their operations directly in Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot or Cursor. More than 40 read-only tools allow these applications to retrieve information about vehicles, drivers, safety events and hours of service without changing records in Samsara. Developers can also incorporate these tools into custom agents.<\/p>\n

\nFor more complex questions, customers\u2019 chosen AI application can turn to Samsara Assistant: Samsara\u2019s purpose-built agents perform the analysis within the platform and return an answer to the application, giving customers access to Samsara\u2019s operational expertise from the AI environment they choose.<\/p>\n

Operational context across business systems<\/b><\/p>\n

\nBy connecting Samsara through MCP alongside their other business systems, customers can bring live operational information into decisions across HR, finance and procurement:<\/p>\n
