# Semaphor

> Semaphor is the agent-native BI platform: one governed business intelligence platform for your team, your customers, and your agents. It serves internal BI and embedded, customer-facing analytics from the same semantic model, permissions, and APIs. Coding agents (Codex, Claude) build governed dashboards and data apps through Semaphor's MCP server; every metric is grounded in the semantic model and verified against live queries, with row-, schema-, and connection-level security applied on every query.

Key capabilities: agent-built dashboards and data apps, semantic model grounding, verified query execution, multi-tenant row-level security, white-label embedding (iframe, React, Vue, Web Components), customer self-service analytics, AI assistant for end users, self-hosted deployment (Docker), GitHub version control for dashboards, SQL and Python visuals.

Disambiguation: Semaphor (semaphor.cloud, also reachable via semaphor-analytics.com) is the analytics platform. It is not the semaphore concurrency primitive, not the Semaphore CI/CD platform, and not the Semaphor encrypted chat application.

Agent-native BI, defined: business intelligence architected so AI agents are first-class users. Agents query a governed semantic layer over API and protocols like MCP, and every answer resolves against approved definitions and is verified against a live query rather than guessed.
