Atlan MCP

Atlan MCP is a hosted server that lets AI clients (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot) and automation platforms (Python, n8n, LangChain) access your Atlan catalog through the Model Context Protocol.

Atlas transformer

Complete reference for AtlasTransformer that converts metadata into Atlas entities using pyatlan library classes.

Authentication & metadata

Source system connectivity and metadata operations including credential validation, metadata retrieval, and preflight checks.

Automate metadata operations

Patterns and examples for automating Atlan metadata operations using custom Python agents, LangChain pipelines, and n8n workflows.

Chat with your catalog

Prompt reference for Atlan MCP—discover what you can do with Claude, Cursor, Copilot, ChatGPT, and other AI tools, from lineage traversal to metadata updates, data quality, and glossary management.

Configure risk metadata

Configuration reference for enriching AI Application assets with risk metadata using the AI Application Risk Classifier.

Context Agents Studio

Automate metadata enrichment at scale using AI-powered context agents that generate descriptions, READMEs, and SQL intelligence across your most important data assets.

Crawl Coalesce

Configure the Coalesce crawler in Atlan and run your first crawl to enrich Snowflake assets with Coalesce metadata, lineage, and run status.

Crawl Microsoft SSRS

Crawl metadata from SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) to catalog reports, datasets, and data sources. Extract report definitions, lineage, and data model information.

Custom Metadata Extender

Expand existing custom metadata definitions to include new connections or glossaries added after initial creation. Reference for workflow configuration and scope-extension rules.

Detect duplicate assets

Identify potentially duplicate assets based on shared column structures using the Duplicate detector app. The workflow scans assets, groups those with identical columns, and records results as glossary terms linked to all matching assets.

Enrich your metadata

Enrich tables, dashboards, and glossary terms with descriptions, owners, and tags using Atlan MCP — directly from Claude, Cursor, or any connected AI client.

Enrichment Migrator

Migrate metadata enrichment between connections during system rebuilds or migrations. Reference for workflow configuration, enrichment selection, and transformation mapping rules.

Metadata Completeness

Workflows calculate metadata completeness scores across your data assets to measure enrichment progress. Reference for workflow configuration, scoring criteria, and asset-scoping options.

Metadata Policy

Configure metadata access in personas — control who can view, edit, or restrict metadata, tags, terms, and governance properties.

Metadata Propagator

Complete configuration reference for the Metadata Propagator app, including propagation direction, attribute selection, filters, and matching behavior.

Migrate archived enrichments

Learn how to use the Tableau Migration Manager app to migrate asset enrichments between Tableau assets in the same connection.

Orchestration tasks attribute transfer

Complete configuration reference for the Orchestration tasks attribute transfer app, including connector selection, custom metadata mapping, transfer direction, and filter options.

Playbooks

Create and manage automated workflows for metadata management and data governance.

Priority Propagator

Propagate tags or custom metadata from child assets to parent assets using configurable priority rules. Reference for workflow configuration, priority-rule syntax, and transformation settings.

Propagate metadata through lineage

Propagate metadata like owners, certificates, and tags from upstream assets to downstream dependents automatically using the Metadata Propagator app. The app follows existing lineage relationships to push governance metadata downstream without manual updates.

Transfer orchestration task attributes to assets

Propagate operational attributes from orchestration tasks and jobs to connected assets using the Orchestration tasks attribute transfer app. Transfer run status, schedules, run timestamps, and task links to upstream or downstream assets through lineage.

Transformers

Overview of metadata transformers that convert raw metadata into Atlas-compatible entities for ingestion into Atlan.

Use Atlan browser extension

Learn how to use the Atlan browser extension to access metadata in-flow inside your data tools, search Atlan from any webpage, and link web pages as resources to assets.

What Atlan crawls from Talend

During a Talend crawl, Atlan extracts metadata for Projects, Jobs, Reusable Units, Datasets, Fields, and Dataset Operations. Reference tables map each Talend property to its Atlan asset.

What does Atlan crawl from Coalesce

Inventory of the Coalesce metadata, lineage, and run status that Atlan ingests, and the boundaries of what's and isn't surfaced in the catalog.

What you can do with Atlan MCP

Atlan MCP use cases across chat-based AI tools (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini), automation platforms (Python, n8n, LangChain), and end-to-end workflows for metadata enrichment, governance, data engineering, asset lifecycle, and catalog adoption.
