This month is about meeting your data wherever it lives: reaching it from AI assistants, bringing it in from more sources, and keeping it flowing with less manual effort.
Here's what's new across Ask Zia and AI, data import, integrations, reporting, and administration.
Developer platform: API and MCP server
Updates to the ways developers and AI agents work with Zoho Analytics programmatically.
Zoho Analytics now in Zoho MCP 
The Zoho Analytics MCP Server, which lets AI agents and assistants work with Analytics is now available in Zoho MCP, so it's easier to discover and connect.
For more information, visit the
Zoho MCP page.
Zoho Analytics connector for Claude 
Zoho Analytics is now available as a connector in Claude, so you can query your workspaces and pull insights without leaving Claude.
Zoho Analytics APIs v2.9.0 
Version 2.9.0 of the Zoho Analytics API is now available, adding programmatic control over three areas:
- tag management (create, update, and delete tags, list tags and tagged views, and add or remove tags across multiple views)
- custom role management (create, update, delete, and list custom roles)
- a new endpoint to retrieve query tables.
Password protection for export data APIs: 
You can now enable password protection when exporting data through the export data APIs, so exported files stay secure and can only be opened by someone with the password.

Query suggestion powered by Zoho LLM 
The Ask Zia query suggestion skill, which gives you contextual suggestions as you build SQL queries, can now run on Zoho LLM, Zoho's own securely hosted language models. You get the same assistance without connecting an OpenAI account, and processing stays inside Zoho's environment. Available in the US, IN, and EU data centers. Available on the Premium and Enterprise plans.
Administration & platform
Workspace Backup & Restore 
You can now backup your entire workspace, including data, reports, formulas, users, and every setting, and restore it right from the UI with just a click. You get scheduled backups, flexible modes (choose to include data or skip it), and even a safety net to undo any restore within 15 days.
Data import & refresh
New ways to bring data in, and to keep it current with less effort.
PDF Import 
You can now import data directly from PDF files into Zoho Analytics. Pull tabular data out of PDF reports, statements, and exports, and analyze it like any other data source, so information that used to be locked in documents becomes part of your reporting.
