I have the Jedox MCP add-on running against a real model. It reads values, writes values, loads values, and turns what it finds into something you can hand to a board in seconds. Here is what works, where I would point it, and where I would be careful.

Jedox MCP is Claude, running on your own licence, with a paid Jedox integration and a plugin layer that produces real cubes, dimensions, rules, Integrator XML and .wss reports. It genuinely accelerates a build. It is also vibecoding, and a planning model ends up in front of an auditor, so here is where that line sits.

A practitioner's read of Jedox 2026.1 - the two JedoxAI agents and the modelling work they quietly require, the Integrator interface that is still beta, Python in FieldTransform and what it cannot do, plus the breaking changes and the pre-upgrade calls you need to make before booking a date.

A step-by-step guide to connecting Jedox to Microsoft Fabric using the native Fabric connection added in Jedox 2026.1 - the OAuth token setup, the Fabric Warehouse and Lakehouse SQL endpoints, and read and write-back jobs in Integrator, with placeholders instead of anyone's tenant.

How Jedox got from a GPL-licensed OLAP server in Freiburg to the platform we implement today - the timeline, the four decisions that shaped the product, and what the analyst surveys actually say once you read the methodology.

Two working ways to get Databricks data into Jedox - a REST call against the SQL Statement Execution API, or the Databricks JDBC driver installed on the Jedox server so users can extract from SQL tables like any relational source. When to use which, with the setup details and the fine print.

A good solution opens a report in under 3 seconds and gets a planner typing in a few clicks. If it does not, something is broken underneath - usually in the model, not the front end.

EPM projects rarely fail at go-live - they fail in month three, quietly, one offline spreadsheet at a time. The delivery playbook that prevents it: a small first slice, a strong client-side lead, change management woven through, and scaling on patterns.

The demo always fits - your month-end close is what doesn't. How to decide, per requirement, between adopting standard EPM content and building custom, without inheriting the worst of both.

Your cube design is also your security model, your performance profile and your upgrade path. How I design Jedox systems that survive - smaller purpose-built cubes, input split from output, and a discovery phase that pays off.

EPM projects rarely fail on the software - they fail on preparation. A practical readiness guide covering process, pain points, data quality, people and scope, before you configure a single cube.

A declarative, Python-native pipeline that pulls Jedox cubes, dimensions and logs and loads them into DuckDB, Snowflake, BigQuery or a Fabric landing zone - schema and pagination handled for you.

Every practical way to move cube data out of Jedox and land it in Microsoft Fabric, a SQL warehouse, Postgres or Snowflake, with working Python for each route and the gotchas that bite in production.

Jedox published a design system for reports. Here is what it is, and the principles worth taking from it.

Three practical ways to get cube data out of Jedox and into a pandas DataFrame - the OData Hub, the OLAP HTTP API, and the Integrator - with working request patterns and the gotchas to watch for.

Jedox rules calculate on the fly, which is powerful but carries a cost that grows with the model. Here is how I decide between an on-read rule and a stored value.
2026-06-24 · Jedox
Cubes get the attention, but dimensions decide whether a model holds up. Get them right and everything downstream is easier.
2026-06-23 · Jedox
A few habits separate rules that fly from rules that crawl. These are the ones that matter most as a model grows.

Every figure in a planning model has travelled a long way. Map that journey well and the rest of EPM gets easier.

A planning tool amplifies whatever process you point it at. Fix the process first, then let the platform make it fast.

A good budgeting procedure is less about the spreadsheet and more about ownership, cadence and a single version of the truth.
