# Collibra MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Collibra lets your AI agent interact directly with your data intelligence platform. It handles the heavy lifting of searching for data assets, navigating complex community structures, and checking metadata across your enterprise. Instead of digging through a web UI, your agent can pull specific details on ownership, classification, and relationships in seconds. It connects your data governance directly to your daily workflow. ## Overview - **Category:** security-compliance - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_fjUuXgIQOi6EM8hgjqwHGSQAawj0vEtDPSUJgRgQ/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** data-governance, metadata-management, data-catalog, compliance, data-assets, enterprise-data ## Description Imagine you're trying to track down who actually owns a specific table in a massive data lake. Usually, that involves opening a browser, logging into a heavy platform, and clicking through three different menus just to find a name. This Connector changes that by letting your AI agent do the digging for you. You can just ask your agent to find the owner of a "Customer_Master" table, and it'll pull that info straight from the catalog. It's about moving from manual navigation to natural language queries. When you connect this to your workflow via the Vinkius catalog, you're essentially giving your agent a map to your company's data governance structure. It can browse through domains, list out asset types, and even create new assets without you having to fill out every single form yourself. It's designed for the people who need to know where the data is and who's responsible for it, without the friction of a traditional UI. This means data stewards can audit their domains in minutes rather than hours. Data engineers can get the technical specs they need to write queries without hunting through outdated spreadsheets. Compliance teams can verify that sensitive data is properly classified with a simple chat command. It turns a slow, manual catalog search into a fast conversation. ## Tools ### create_asset Create a new data asset in your Collibra catalog.
