Set up Claude with Remote MCP

You can connect Claude with the Atlan Remote MCP server to access Atlan metadata in your conversations or development environment. This enables you to search for assets, explore lineage, update metadata, create glossary terms, and more—directly from Claude.

Choose the setup that matches how you work:

🌐

Claude Connector

Web UI

Use Atlan MCP directly in the Claude web interface. Best for users who work in the browser and want conversational metadata access without installing anything locally.

🖥️

Claude Desktop

Desktop App

Access Atlan metadata from the Claude desktop app. Ideal for analysts and developers who prefer a local, offline-first workflow while still leveraging Atlan's metadata context.

💻

Claude Code

CLI

Work with Atlan metadata from the terminal. Designed for developers who prefer a CLI-based experience and want Atlan context while coding, scripting, or debugging.

🔌

Claude Code Plugin

Zero-config

Install the official Atlan plugin from the Claude Code marketplace. No API keys or manual MCP configuration required—sign in once with your Atlan account and you're ready.
