# Connecting your data

> The three ways to get your data into Xura.

Xura reads data — it doesn't store bulk copies. Every query hits your source live.

## Option 1: HubSpot

One-click OAuth. Best for teams with sales / marketing data already in HubSpot.

**AI Studio → Integrations → HubSpot → Connect**.

Xura reads standard objects: deals, contacts, companies, tickets, and their properties. See [HubSpot integration](/getting-started/hubspot).

## Option 2: Upload files (CSV / Excel)

**AI Studio → Data Sources → Upload**. Drop a CSV or `.xlsx` file. Xura:

1. Parses columns, infers types.
2. Auto-classifies each column (Email Address, Deal Stage, Currency Amount, etc.) using an LLM pass.
3. Indexes for query.
4. Prompts you to review classifications in the Governance tab.

Best for teams whose data lives in spreadsheets or exports.

## Option 3: MCP servers

**AI Studio → MCPs → Add server**. Point Xura at any [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server URL. Xura discovers the tools + resources it exposes and treats them as first-class citizens in Flows.

Best for teams with custom data platforms.

## What happens after connection

* The data appears in **AI Studio → Data Sources** with row count and indexing status.
* **Governance** flags columns needing human input (ambiguous meanings, unclassified).
* Xura can now answer questions about that data from the home composer.
