Set up ChatGPT with Remote MCP

Connect docs via MCP

Connect ChatGPT to the Atlan Remote MCP server to search for data assets, explore lineage, and manage metadata directly from chat. Install the official Atlan app from the ChatGPT app directory—no manual configuration required. Authentication uses OAuth, so you sign in with your Atlan account and automatically use your existing roles and permissions. API key authentication isn't supported.

Prerequisites​

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • Your Atlan domain name (the part before .atlan.com).
  • A ChatGPT account.

Install the official Atlan app from the ChatGPT app directory and sign in with your Atlan account.

  1. In ChatGPT, go to Settings → Apps → Add more, then search for Atlan and select it.

  2. On the Add Atlan to ChatGPT screen, review the permissions and data the app can access, then select Sign in with Atlan.

  3. On the Allow ChatGPT to access Atlan screen, enter your Atlan domain name, then select Sign in. Enter only the name, the .atlan.com suffix is already added. For example:

    your-tenant

  4. Complete the OAuth login flow to authenticate. After authentication succeeds, ChatGPT redirects back and the Atlan app is ready to use.

  5. You can now use Atlan MCP tools directly in the chat interface. For more information, see the list of Atlan MCP tools. For example, if you want to explore lineage, write a prompt like:

    show downstream assets for DIM_CUSTOMER
