Description

Atlan MCP Server provides a bridge between AI agents and Atlan data catalog services through a Python implementation using the pyatlan SDK. The server exposes tools for searching assets with flexible conditions, retrieving assets using DSL queries, traversing lineage relationships, and updating asset attributes like descriptions and certificate status. Built with a robust error handling system and comprehensive logging, it enables AI assistants to interact with enterprise data catalogs for use cases such as data discovery, lineage analysis, and metadata management. The implementation uses environment variables for configuration and supports deployment through Claude Desktop or the MCP Inspector for testing.
