Headless Data Management MCP Release Assessment & Design

Informatica will work with the Customer to establish a repeatable release-based assessment and design approach for newly introduced Informatica Headless Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and enhancements to existing MCP capabilities.

Key activities include:

(i) Release review and capability assessment. Up to two (2) one-hour sessions to:

• Review Informatica Headless release information to identify new MCP servers, tools, operations, supported Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms, security capabilities, and enhancements to existing MCP servers.

• Assess applicability to the Customer's existing agentic AI, data integration, governance, master data management, data quality, and data provisioning use cases.

• Review functional fit, prerequisites, licensing and entitlements, authentication, authorization, operational dependencies, and potential overlap with existing MCP implementations.

(ii) Capability prioritization and adoption recommendations, limited to the following:

• Evaluate identified MCP capabilities based on business value, technical readiness, governance requirements, and implementation complexity.

• Prioritize up to three (3) MCP capabilities for further assessment and solution design.

• Provide recommendations for adoption, including prerequisites, dependencies, and implementation considerations.

(iii) MCP solution design working sessions. Up to three (3) one-hour sessions to:

• Review the selected new or enhanced MCP capabilities

• Review target interaction patterns, AI agent-to-MCP workflows, supported AI platforms, and applicable Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) configurations.

• Provide design guidance covering authentication, authorization, security controls, human-in-the-loop approvals, error handling, logging, and monitoring.

(iv) Architecture and implementation recommendations, limited to the following:

• Document high-level solution design considerations for adopting selected MCP capabilities.

• Identify required IDMC configuration, connectivity, security, and operational prerequisites.

• Define recommended scope and implementation approach for introducing a new MCP server or extending an existing MCP implementation through a subsequent configuration or implementation engagement.

Notes:

(i) Release assessment sessions are limited to a maximum of two (2) sessions for reviewing release capabilities, assessing applicability, and identifying candidate use cases.

(ii) MCP working sessions are limited to a maximum of three (3) sessions for solution design discussions and implementation recommendations.

(iii) Assessment and solution design will be limited to a maximum of three (3) selected new or enhanced MCP capabilities, subject to complexity evaluation and mutual agreement.

(iv) Assessment will be limited to Informatica Headless MCP capabilities documented as generally available or preview in the agreed-upon release information.

(v) Any validation or demonstration activities will utilize one (1) existing supported MCP client, where applicable. Custom MCP client development is excluded.

(vi) Informatica will not develop or implement multi-agent orchestration.

(vii) Custom MCP server development, extensions, or builds are excluded.

(viii) Deployment, configuration, customization, production integration, and operationalization of new or enhanced MCP capabilities are excluded and may be addressed through a separate implementation engagement.

(ix) Activities are limited to capability assessment, prioritization, high-level solution design, and implementation recommendations. Detailed engineering specifications, custom development, and production rollout are excluded.
