Can my AI search for a specific dashboard or data table by keyword?

Yes. Ask the agent to perform an asset search using a natural phrase like 'Q3 revenue report' or 'customer addresses table'. The agent triggers Atlan's semantic asset search, returning linked objects across all connected BI and database sources.

Are custom Atlan Classifications and Tags exposed to the AI?

Yes. The agent can list all organizational classifications configured in Atlan (e.g., Sensitive, Restricted, CCPA). This lets the AI contextualize whether the assets it discovers are safe to be shared globally or subject to governance restrictions.

Can the agent modify or write back metadata to Atlan?

No. This MCP integration focuses strictly on safe discovery and organizational governance retrieval (queries). It guarantees your metadata catalogues remain pristine, acting purely as an active lookup augmentation tool for your agent.

Atlan + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Atlan MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call Atlan tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
