Nasuni offers open-source software tools that allow AI agents — software programs that can take actions autonomously, like a virtual assistant that can actually perform tasks rather than just answer questions — to securely access and work with files stored in Nasuni. Using an open standard called Model Context Protocol (MCP), these tools let AI agents search, read, and manage enterprise files. The initial open-source tools were announced in October 2025; a full commercial product called AI Activate entered invite-only preview in April 2026 with general availability planned for Q4 2026.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed by Anthropic that defines how AI agents connect to and interact with external tools and data sources. Nasuni released a Desktop MCP Server and a Management MCP Server through its Nasuni Labs GitHub repository in October 2025, allowing customers to use AI agents to interact with files and administer Nasuni infrastructure using natural language. In April 2026, Nasuni announced AI Activate — a formal product extending the Nasuni platform to AI agents and large language models with the same permission-aware access controls that human users receive, eliminating the need for separate data pipelines or duplicate datasets. AI Activate entered an invite-only preview in Q2 2026 with general availability scheduled for Q4 2026. Validated use cases cited by Nasuni include document processing for legal and compliance workflows, pharmaceutical regulatory file management, and project file organization for engineering firms.
