Queries Across Machines

Two pieces ship today, one piece arrives in v0.6. Both need a workspace connection — see Adding Another Machine.

Cross-machine search (shipped today)

At app.sery.ai you can search filenames + column names across every connected machine in your workspace. Results include a machine column so you know where each file lives. Catalog metadata (paths, columns, row counts) is the only thing that crosses the network — files themselves never leave the device that owns them.

Cross-machine SQL via MCP (shipped today)

On the Plus plan, point an MCP-aware LLM client (Claude Desktop, Warp, Cursor, Continue) at https://mcp.sery.ai/sse and the LLM gets a query_sql tool that routes execution to whichever machine owns the file. SQL runs locally; only result rows come back. See the MCP Integration section.

Cross-machine AI fan-out (v0.6 — not shipped yet)

Asking a single natural-language question that automatically dispatches to every machine in parallel and merges results — that's on the v0.6 roadmap. Today, the in-app Ask tab queries one machine at a time. Use cross-machine search (above) to find files across machines, then ask follow-ups against a specific dataset.
