Remote MCP Private Preview
The Atlan Remote MCP server is a hosted, per-tenant implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides a secure bridge between Atlan’s metadata platform and AI tools, so users can query, search, and update metadata directly from their preferred environments.
Unlike the Local MCP server, which requires you to run a service on your own machine, the Remote MCP server is fully managed and hosted by Atlan. This means:
- No installation or infrastructure setup is required
- Authentication and authorization are handled through the same policies and permissions you already use in Atlan
- Integrations can be enabled quickly across your organization without developer-level setup
The Remote MCP server is designed to support both interactive AI experiences (for example, searching metadata through Claude or Cursor) and automation workflows (for example, using n8n, Windsurf, or Microsoft Copilot Studio).
An Atlan tenant with Remote MCP enabled is required. If you don't have access, contact Atlan Support or your Atlan customer team to request enablement.
