What you can do with this MCP connector
Connect your AI agent to Collibra's Data Intelligence API. Your agent handles data assets, domains, and communities, letting you search for assets by name, check metadata, and verify data classifications right from your chat interface. You can list all communities, check asset details, or search the entire catalog using just natural language commands.
Search and Retrieve Data Assets
Your agent searches the entire asset catalog using search_assets with keywords or names. It pulls back all metadata for a specific asset using get_asset. You can find assets by name or type using list_asset_types and then pull back all associated metadata. list_assets gives you a full list of every data asset in the catalog.
When you need to see what types of domains exist, you can use list_domain_types, and list_domains pulls a list of all domains in the governance structure. You can also see a list of all valid asset statuses, like 'Draft' or 'Published', using list_statuses.
Govern Data Structure
Your agent lists all top-level communities with list_communities. It gets detailed information on a specific community using get_community_details. You can view every data asset type available with list_asset_types, and get a list of all data assets using list_assets.
Check Asset Details and Ownership
If you need deep details on any asset, get_asset pulls up all the info, including who owns it and its responsibilities. You can also check the full governance structure by listing all domains using list_domains.
Manage Data Assets
If you need to create a new data asset record, you just run create_asset.
How Collibra MCP Works
- 1 Add the Collibra integration to your AI toolset and provide your instance URL, username, and password.
- 2 Tell your agent a goal (e.g., 'Find all assets related to customer PII').
- 3 The agent uses the available tools (like
search_assetsorlist_assets) to pull metadata and present the results in chat.
The bottom line is: your AI client speaks the governance language, pulling data catalog details directly into your conversation.
Who Is Collibra MCP For?
Data Stewards, Data Engineers, and Compliance Officers need this. It removes the friction of navigating complex UIs. Instead of spending time clicking through dashboards to find ownership records or verify classifications, they can ask the agent directly. It lets them audit data governance structures instantly.
Inspects assets and policies by asking the agent for details, checking ownership, and verifying data classifications without leaving the chat.
Looks up table or column definitions and ownership details instantly. It saves time manually cross-referencing documentation across multiple systems.
Verifies data classifications and governance policies quickly. They can confirm if a data set meets specific compliance rules by querying the catalog.
What Changes When You Connect
- Inspect assets without deep linking. Instead of manually clicking into an asset to check its attributes and relationships, use
get_assetto pull all details instantly in chat. You know who's responsible for the data, and why. - Audit the entire governance structure. Use
list_communitiesandlist_domainsto map out the whole data flow. You get a clear, structured view of your data landscape—all in one response. - Find data fast. Instead of navigating complex filters, just ask your agent to search for assets using
search_assetsby name. It pulls back multiple results and their domains immediately. - Maintain data accuracy. Use
list_statusesto see what lifecycle stages exist. This helps you confirm if an asset is ready for production or if it’s still in a draft state. - Build data records. Use
create_assetwhen you need to log a new data asset into the catalog. It's a clean way to document new data sources via chat. - Reduce boilerplate calls. Instead of running five separate API calls to gather related metadata, the agent orchestrates the required tools (e.g., listing domains, then getting asset details) in a single conversational flow.
Real-World Use Cases
The Compliance Review
A compliance officer needs to check if 'Customer Email' data meets GDPR standards. They ask the agent: 'Show me all assets related to customer email.' The agent runs search_assets, finds the relevant assets, and then uses get_asset to pull the full metadata and classification policies for review.
The Data Migration Check
A data engineer is prepping a new ETL pipeline. They ask the agent: 'What are the standard asset types and ownership rules for this domain?' The agent first runs list_asset_types, then uses list_domains to narrow the scope, giving the engineer the necessary definitions before writing any code.
Mapping the Data Org Chart
A data steward needs a quick overview of the data organization. They prompt the agent: 'List all major communities and their domains.' The agent runs list_communities and list_domains, mapping out the entire governance structure in seconds, which would take hours via the UI.
Onboarding a New Data Source
A team member needs to formally log a new data source. They ask the agent: 'I need to create a new asset for the 'Product ID' data.' The agent uses create_asset, guiding the user through the required metadata inputs directly in the chat.
The Tradeoffs
Blindly listing everything
Asking the agent to simply list_assets when you only care about 'Customer data'. You get thousands of irrelevant assets, and the response is unusable.
→
Always start with search_assets and include specific keywords (e.g., 'Customer Data'). If you need a full list, use list_assets only after confirming your scope.
Assuming structure
Trying to guess the relationship between assets and domains without checking. You might assume an asset belongs to a domain when it doesn't, leading to incorrect governance reports.
→
Use get_asset or get_community_details to verify relationships and attributes. Don't guess; ask the agent to check the metadata first.
Over-relying on the UI
Spending 20 minutes clicking through the Collibra UI to find a specific column definition. It's slow, and you have to copy/paste everything.
→
Use the agent to query definitions directly. Start by asking the agent to search_assets for the column name, then use get_asset to get the full definition.
When It Fits, When It Doesn't
Use this if your primary task is data discovery, governance auditing, or metadata management. You need to know who owns the data, what its classification is, or where it lives. For example, if you need to confirm if 'PII' is classified as 'Restricted,' you use get_asset. If you need to know the whole structure, use list_communities. Don't use this if your goal is transactional: if you just need to change the status of an asset, look for a dedicated workflow automation tool. If you need to compare this data against external sources, use a data integration platform instead.

Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more
The Model Context Protocol standardizes how applications expose capabilities to LLMs. Instead of operating in isolation, your AI gains direct access to external platforms, live data, and real-world actions through secure, standardized connections.
This server provides 10 capabilities that interface natively with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP client. No middleware. No custom integration required.
Available Capabilities
Finding data lineage shouldn't require 15 clicks.
Today, figuring out where a piece of data comes from—its lineage—means jumping through hoops. You start in the data warehouse dashboard, click 'Data Catalog,' then search by business term. You hit a dead end, so you copy the asset ID and paste it into a separate governance tool. You repeat this process for every single column, wasting time and losing context.
With the Collibra MCP Server, you ask the agent directly. You say, 'What is the full metadata for the 'Product ID' asset?' The agent runs the necessary tools (like `get_asset`) and gives you the complete record, including ownership and relationships, right in your chat window. It’s all one query.
Collibra MCP Server: Govern data assets and domains via chat.
Manual data cataloging means relying on spreadsheets and manual updates. When data moves, the documentation breaks. You spend days updating documentation that someone else might overwrite hours later.
Now, your AI agent uses the `create_asset` and `get_asset` tools. It writes the metadata directly into the authoritative catalog and ensures the documentation is always up to date. The truth is now in the system, not in a folder on a shared drive.
