Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

[!WARNING] The local Atlan MCP server in this repository is deprecated. Use the hosted Atlan MCP at [mcp.atlan.com/mcp](https://mcp.atlan.com/mcp) instead. The local install path (cloning this repo or pip install atlan-mcp-server) is in maintenance-only mode — no new features, support not guaranteed. The hosted endpoint is the recommended way to integrate Atlan with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Databricks UC, and other MCP clients. See the Atlan MCP overview for migration instructions.

This repository contains a collection of tools and protocols for interacting with Atlan services for AI agents. Each component is designed to provide specific functionality and can be used independently or together.

Components

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

An MCP server that enables interaction with Atlan services through tool calling. Provides tools for asset search, and retrieval using pyatlan.

You can find the documentation and setup instructions for the MCP server here.

Claude Code Plugin

The official Atlan plugin for Claude Code. Search, explore, govern, and manage your data assets through natural language, powered by the Atlan MCP server.

Connects to Atlan via OAuth at mcp.atlan.com/mcp - no API keys required.

Features:

  • 15 MCP tools (12 enabled by default, 3 via feature flags)
  • Search: AI-powered semantic search across data assets
  • Lineage: Trace data flow upstream and downst

With care. The audit graded it B (89/100) and found 7 things worth knowing before you trust this server, listed below with the exact line each was found on. Separately from the audit: 1 of its tools can destroy data, so scope the token you give it to what you actually need.
