DreamFactory 7.4.5 Release: MCP Aggregate Data Tool, Cursor IDE Support, and Production Stability

DreamFactory 7.4.5 ships the aggregate_data MCP tool — a purpose-built tool that lets AI agents compute SUM, COUNT, AVG , MIN, and MAX directly on the database server in a single call. This release also adds Cursor IDE OAuth compatibility, a desktop OAuth success page for smoother onboarding, server-side aggregate expression support across all SQL connectors, and critical MCP daemon stability improvements including request timeout guards and global error handlers.

How to Teach Your AI Agent to Build Keboola Data Apps

You can build Data Apps inside Keboola with Kai. But what if you prefer working with Keboola via MCP, in Claude Code, Cursor, or another AI-powered editor? Want to build a JavaScript Data App that Kai doesn't support yet? That's what the Keboola AI Kit is for. It's a set of skills you install into your agent so it knows how to work with Keboola - how to query your data, how to structure a Data App, how to deploy it. Here's how to set it up.

Does your AI stack need a session layer? A maturity framework for teams building AI agents

Most teams building AI agents start with HTTP streaming. It's the right starting point. Every major agent framework defaults to it, it gets tokens on screen fast, and for a single-user prompt-response interaction it works well. The question is when it stops being enough - and how to recognise that before it turns into user experience problems, engineering waste, and technical debt that constrains what your product can do.

Why AI support fails in production: The infrastructure problem behind every incident

HTTP streaming – the default transport underneath every major agent framework – was never designed for sessions that survive a tab close or hand off cleanly between participants. Two failures surface consistently in production CX products because of this. Both generate support tickets about conversation state and prompt quality. Both trace to the transport layer. The scenario that illustrates them: a customer contacts support about an order that's partially shipped and partially stuck.

Stateful agents, stateless infrastructure: the transport gap AI teams are patching by hand

Every major layer of the AI stack now has a name. Model providers - OpenAI, Anthropic, Google - handle inference. Agent frameworks - Vercel AI SDK, LangGraph, CrewAI - handle orchestration. Durable execution platforms like Temporal make backend workflows crash-proof.

Practical Strategies to Monetize AI APIs in Production

AI APIs don't get enough credit for how much weight they're actually carrying. These AI APIs aren't merely technical connectors. They're, in fact, cost drivers and potential revenue engines. And when something goes sideways, they're ground zero. In production, they behave nothing like the traditional APIs your teams have been running for years; they introduce a whole new set of hurdles around operations, security, and governance that most organizations are still struggling to understand.

This week on The AI Forecast: prevent AI agents from going off the rails #short #tech #fyp

*Does your enterprise have governance over teams of AI agents?* This week, Tatyana Mamut, PhD, joins The AI Forecast to talk about why agentic AI needs to be managed like human teams. This conversation goes beyond technology; Tatyana also reflects on leadership and representation in tech, challenging assumptions about opportunity, and exhibiting why diverse ways of thinking are critical in an AI-driven world.
