ANALYTICS
Velocity6.3

Hex is rebuilding analytics around an agent — now an MCP client that pulls context from anywhere.

◆Current state
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.
◆Where it's heading
Hex is betting the analytics workflow becomes agent-driven: the Hex Agent gathers context from repos, apps, and MCP-connected tools, picks its model, searches the web, and generates data apps from prompts. By shipping into Codex and becoming an MCP client, Hex positions the agent as both a consumer and a provider in the agentic stack. The non-agent releases are mostly plumbing that supports it.
◆Prediction
Expect continued agent expansion — more connected context sources, model options, and MCP- or Codex-style distribution — with enterprise controls like IAM and signed embedding shipped alongside to keep the agent deployable. The entries point to agentic analytics as the throughline.
