IBM Db2
Add IBM Db2 to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed an IBM Db2 integration so your customers can work their own database from inside your product without you shipping a driver and a connection manager per tenant. Every customer's schema differs and can change without notice, so table and column mapping is configuration rather than code. fastn handles per-tenant credentials, connection pooling, pagination, and throttling, so a large read does not overwhelm a customer's instance.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers query their own tables from your product, mapped to the fields your product expects.
Read table and column metadata at runtime so your product renders each customer's schema.
Insert or update rows so data captured in your product lands in their database of record.
Run a paginated backfill on onboarding so historical rows are available on day one.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent inspects the schema before writing a query, so it asks for columns that exist.
An agent runs a read-only query within governed permissions and every statement is logged.
An agent writes a row back only where you have enabled writes, with the action attributed.
Example prompt
Show the table columns in this schema, then count the rows added to the orders table in the last seven days.
Set up IBM Db2 in 4 steps
- 01Open the IBM Db2 connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer supply credentials for their own Db2 database with least-privilege access.
- 03Map the tables and columns your product uses, then enable actions and triggers.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the IBM Db2 integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship an IBM Db2 integration without building it. Your customers connect their own IBM Db2 account inside your product and work their records, datasets and fields there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: schemas differ per customer and change without notice, and volumes can be large. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so an IBM Db2 update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed IBM Db2 connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you read and write your customers' data where it already lives without wiring it twice.

Hugging FaceIBM Db2 integration FAQ
How do I add an IBM Db2 integration to my product?
Enable the IBM Db2 connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own IBM Db2 account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no IBM Db2 client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own IBM Db2 account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own IBM Db2 account and only ever sees their own records, datasets and fields. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this IBM Db2 integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent inspects the schema before writing a query, so it asks for columns that exist.
Who maintains the IBM Db2 integration?
fastn does. When IBM Db2 changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Does the IBM Db2 integration adapt when a customer's schema changes?
Schema and field mapping is configuration per customer, so a change on their side is a mapping update rather than a code change and a release on yours.
How are large IBM Db2 reads handled?
Pagination and throttling are handled for you, and initial backfills are rate-limited so a large import does not exhaust a customer's API allowance.
What can I build with the IBM Db2 integration?
A common starting point: query their own tables from your product, mapped to the fields your product expects. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the IBM Db2 integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding IBM Db2 does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
