Paid

An encrypted Iceberg data lake with a built-in engine and MCP endpoint, so Claude and Codex can query every tool your company uses.

Key features

  • MCP Endpoint for Claude and Codex: Point any MCP-speaking assistant at mcp.supernova.ai/mcp and every synced table becomes queryable in natural language.
  • Encrypted Iceberg Lake: Open Apache Iceberg tables in object storage with table-level encryption, so the data stays in a portable open format you control.
  • Zero-Copy Connections: Any engine that speaks Iceberg can read the lake directly, avoiding a second copy of your warehouse.
  • Time Travel: Every table retains version history, so you can query the state of your data as of any earlier point.
  • Built-In Frontier Models: Ask a question or describe a dashboard in plain language and Supernova generates the models and visualisations without a data team.
  • TypeSQL: Schema-aware SQL that autocompletes across joins and type-checks before execution, catching errors the way a typed language would.
  • Single-Binary CLI: One command-line tool connects sources, runs queries, tails live table changes and registers the MCP endpoint with Claude Desktop, from a laptop or CI.
  • Git-Backed Dashboards: Models and dashboards are readable and writable through Git, putting analytics artefacts under normal version control.

Best for

  • Conversational Revenue Analysis: Ask Claude which customers churned last quarter and why, with the answer computed over live Stripe and HubSpot tables.
  • Warehouse Cost Reduction: Replace a multi-vendor pipeline-plus-warehouse stack with one usage-billed platform, which the vendor illustrates as $5,640/mo dropping to $540/mo for a hardware company.
  • Dashboards Without a Data Team: Describe the dashboard you want in a sentence and have the models and charts generated for you.
  • AI-Native Data Access Layer: Give internal agents a governed, encrypted single endpoint for company data instead of per-tool API integrations.
  • Auditing Historical State: Use table version history to reconstruct what the numbers looked like before a pricing or schema change.
  • CI-Driven Data Workflows: Drive connections, queries and change tailing from pipelines using the single CLI binary.
