> 📣 **2026-05-07** — Wren Engine has merged into this repo under [`core/`](./core). The previous `Canner/wren-engine` repo is archived. The previous WrenAI GenBI app is preserved on the [`legacy/v1`](https://github.com/Canner/WrenAI/tree/legacy/v1) branch (tag `v1-final`).

WrenAI is an open-source semantic engine for MCP clients and AI agents. It translates SQL queries through a semantic layer ([MDL](./core/wren-mdl/) — Modeling Definition Language) and executes them against 20+ data sources (PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, Spark, etc.). The Rust engine is powered by [Apache DataFusion](https://datafusion.apache.org/). Use it as a Python SDK, a CLI, a WASM module in the browser, or as building blocks for AI-agent skills.
