Zoho Analytics MCP Server

The Zoho Analytics MCP Server (Beta) implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP), a standardized interface that enables AI models to interact seamlessly with applications. This middleware solution bridges the connection between AI agents and Zoho Analytics, providing powerful data analysis capabilities through a unified interface.

Note: The Zoho Analytics MCP project is currently in its early development (Beta) phase. As we continue to improve and refine its features, the available tools and functionalities may change.
