What is RaptorMCP?

Using Qlik with an AI agent

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets an AI agent connect to external tools and data through an MCP server. "Qlik MCP" describes connecting an AI agent to Qlik this way, so the agent can read permitted Qlik context and, where authorised, carry out Qlik tasks instead of only answering from general knowledge.

RaptorMCP, provided by Modern Management, is a governed MCP Gateway for Qlik covering enterprise knowledge, AI-assisted engineering, insights, writeback and workflows, migration and managed delivery. It connects each user's chosen AI agent to permitted Qlik context and a central enterprise Qlik AI knowledge base, across Qlik Cloud and Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows (QSEoW, also called Qlik Sense Client-Managed).

Slide 2: What RaptorMCP helps with

Qlik Engineering

Assist with Qlik scripting, app structure, model review, expressions and visualizations within governed development workflows.

Migration & Modernization

Support QlikView, Qlik Sense, Qlik Cloud and BI modernization through structured review, planning and assisted execution.

Managed Delivery

Support repeatable customer delivery, advisory workflows, environment review, improvement planning and partner-led execution.

Governance & Review

See every capability in detail on the capabilities page.

Slide 3: Gateway access

RaptorMCP is provisioned through governed gateway access. Access is controlled through approved gateway configuration, licensed users, assigned seats and customer permissions.

Customer-hosted gateway

For customers with approved on-premises or customer-controlled infrastructure. For governed Qlik Client-Managed delivery and private access patterns.

Modern Management hosted

For customers without on-premises servers. Modern Management hosts the gateway while customer Qlik permissions, licensing and governance remain controlled by the customer.

Partner-led activation

Approved partners can introduce customers, support demos, guide readiness and route opportunities through the Raptor service portal.

Slide 4: Architecture, five layers in one governed flow

1. User / Team: Business user, Qlik developer, Partner consultant, Administrator.
2. AI Client / Workspace: Approved AI client or IDE, Customer-selected LLM, User instruction and review.
3. RaptorMCP Gateway: Customer-hosted OR MM-hosted, Licensed access, Policy boundary, Audit and usage visibility.
4. Qlik Environment: Qlik Client-Managed, Qlik Cloud, Scripts, models, reloads, sheets.
5. Governance / Evidence: Human approval, Customer permissions, Production validation, Audit evidence.

Deployment details are in the technical perspective.

Slide 5: What you need before activation
