About Hex
Hex is rebuilding analytics around an agent — now an MCP client that pulls context from anywhere.
Hex is reorganizing its analytics platform around the Hex Agent. Recent releases turn Hex into an MCP client that connects to external tools, add web search and a model picker to the agent, ship Hex into Codex, and let users wire repos and apps in as agent context. Connector and security work — Figma, AWS IAM roles, signed embedding — rounds out the agentic core.
