Integrate Google's Antigravity Agent with Live Zuora Data via CData Connect AI

Antigravity is an AI-native development environment designed around autonomous and semi-autonomous agents. It allows developers to run agent-driven workflows directly inside the editor, combining planning, execution, and tool usage in a single interface.

By integrating Antigravity with CData Connect AI through the built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server, agents gain governed, real-time access to live Zuora data. This enables Antigravity agents to explore schemas, query data, and perform actions without manual data movement or custom API wiring.

This article explains how to configure Zuora connectivity in Connect AI, generate the required access token, register CData Connect AI in Antigravity, and validate the integration by querying live Zuora data from an agent-driven workflow.

Step 1: Configure Zuora connectivity for Antigravity

Connectivity to Zuora from Antigravity is made possible through CData Connect AI's Remote MCP Server. To interact with Zuora data from Antigravity, start by creating and configuring a Zuora connection in CData Connect AI.

1. Log into Connect AI, click Sources, and then click Add Connection

2. Select Zuora from the Add Connection panel
👁 Selecting data source

3. Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Zuora.

   Zuora uses the OAuth standard to authenticate users. See the online Help documentation for a full OAuth authentication guide.

   Configuring Tenant property

   In order to create a valid connection with the provider you need to choose one of the Tenant values (USProduction by default) which matches your account configuration. The following is a list with the available options:

   • USProduction: Requests sent to https://rest.zuora.com.
   • USAPISandbox: Requests sent to https://rest.apisandbox.zuora.com"
   • USPerformanceTest: Requests sent to https://rest.pt1.zuora.com"
   • EUProduction: Requests sent to https://rest.eu.zuora.com"
   • EUSandbox: Requests sent to https://rest.sandbox.eu.zuora.com"

   Selecting a Zuora Service

   Two Zuora services are available: Data Query and AQuA API. By default ZuoraService is set to AQuADataExport.

   DataQuery

   The Data Query feature enables you to export data from your Zuora tenant by performing asynchronous, read-only SQL queries. We recommend to use this service for quick lightweight SQL queries.

   Limitations
   • The maximum number of input records per table after filters have been applied: 1,000,000
   • The maximum number of output records: 100,000
   • The maximum number of simultaneous queries submitted for execution per tenant: 5
   • The maximum number of queued queries submitted for execution after reaching the limitation of simultaneous queries per tenant: 10
   • The maximum processing time for each query in hours: 1
   • The maximum size of memory allocated to each query in GB: 2
   • The maximum number of indices when using Index Join, in other words, the maximum number of records being returned by the left table based on the unique value used in the WHERE clause when using Index Join: 20,000

   AQuADataExport

   AQuA API export is designed to export all the records for all the objects ( tables ). AQuA query jobs have the following limitations:

   Limitations
   • If a query in an AQuA job is executed longer than 8 hours, this job will be killed automatically.
   • The killed AQuA job can be retried three times before returned as failed.

5. Navigate to the Permissions tab and update user-based permissions

Add a Personal Access Token

A Personal Access Token (PAT) is used to authenticate the connection to Connect AI from Antigravity. It is best practice to create a separate PAT for each integration to maintain granular access control.

1. Click the gear icon () at the top right of the Connect AI app to open Settings
2. On the Settings page, go to the Access Tokens section and click Create PAT
3. Give the PAT a descriptive name and click Create
👁 Creating a new PAT

4. Copy the token when displayed and store it securely. It will not be shown again

With the Zuora connection configured and a PAT generated, Antigravity can now connect to Zuora data through CData Connect AI.

Step 2: Configure Connect AI in Antigravity

Next, register Connect AI in Antigravity. Antigravity reads MCP server definitions from a raw configuration file, allowing agents to dynamically discover and invoke the sources exposed by Connect AI.

1. Download the Antigravity desktop application and sign in using your Google account
2. During the initial setup flow, select Agent-driven development when prompted. This mode enables autonomous agents with tool execution capabilities 👁 Selecting agent-driven development
   
3. Once you have completed the Antigravity setup and the IDE is open, you can access the built-in agent interface to manage MCP servers. From the top menu, click Toggle Agent or press Ctrl + Alt + B to open the agent panel
4. Once the agent panel opens, click the "..." and select MCP Servers from the dropdown 👁 Selecting MCP Servers
   
5. Select Manage MCP Servers from the MCP Store, and click View raw config to open the MCP configuration file 👁 Selecting
   
6. Paste the following json into the file:

   {
    "mcpServers": {
    "cdata-mcp": {
    "serverUrl": "https://mcp.cloud.cdata.com/mcp",
    "headers": {
    "Authorization": "Basic your_base64_encoded_email_PAT",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
    }
    }
    }
   }
   		

   Note: Antigravity will use Basic authentication with Connect AI. Combine your Connect AI user email and the PAT you created earlier and base64 encode the value. For example, given username and PAT like [email protected]:ABC123...XYZ789, the value for the Authorization header is something like: Basic dXNlckBteWRvbWFpbjphSzkvbVB4Mi9Rcjd2TjQvTHc4Qi96WTZqQzMvRnQ1SGcxL0RzMFVlL01iWHdKdg==

   👁 Editing the Config file
   
7. Save the configuration file
8. Return to the Manage MCP Servers view and click Refresh to load the new MCP server 👁 Configured Connect AI
   

Step 3: Query live Zuora data from Antigravity agent

With the MCP server registered, Antigravity agents can now interact with your live data sources exposed by Connect AI to explore schemas and run queries.

1. Open the agent panel again using Toggle Agent
2. Start a new conversation in the agent chat
3. Start interacting with the agent by entering prompts such as:
   • List all catalogs in my cdata-mcp connection.
   • Show schemas and tables available for Zuora.
   • Query the top 3 records from a table in Zuora data.
   👁 Querying CData MCP from Antigravity
   

At this point, your Antigravity agent communicates with the CData Connect AI MCP Server and retrieves live Zuora data through remote MCP tools.
