Delivering reliable AI with the dbt Semantic Layer and dbt MCP Server
đ Global friendly sessions on December 16 & 17
As teams race to adopt LLMs and agents, many discover the same challenge: AI systems canât perform well without structured, governed, and consistent context. Critical knowledgeâfrom metrics and definitions to policies, data relationships, and operational rulesâoften lives in dashboards, documentation, or scattered SQL. Without a shared, authoritative layer of meaning, AI outputs become unreliable and leads to hallucinations, inconsistent answers, and costly rework.
In this live virtual event, experts from dbt Labs and phData will walk through how the dbt Semantic Layer and dbt MCP Server combine to deliver the reliable context AI systems require. Youâll see how the dbt Semantic Layer centralizes and standardizes meaningâand how the dbt MCP Server extends that context directly to AI tools, enabling them to safely discover, query, and reason over trusted, governed data.
