Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

01

Compliance Audit Prep

A governance team needs to prove that all customer PII fields are tagged and restricted. The agent lists all classifications and checks the associated policies.

02

New Project Kickoff

A data analyst starts a new model and needs to know the most reliable source for 'monthly revenue.' The agent searches assets and pulls the verified definition from the glossary.

03

Access Review

Security needs to know which roles have access to sensitive HR data. The agent lists personas and checks the associated user profiles.

04

Data Source Verification

A team suspects a dashboard is using outdated data. The agent searches assets and provides the full lineage, pointing to the correct, trusted source.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Atlan works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Atlan to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Atlan, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Atlan. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

Who it's for

Built for the work Atlan owners hand off.

This MCP is built for teams that manage data quality and access at scale. If your job involves understanding data context, compliance, or data lineage, this capability gives your AI agent the necessary visibility. It moves data governance from a manual process to a conversational one.

  • 01

    Data Stewards

    Use the MCP to systematically audit metadata completeness, check glossaries, and verify PII tags across your data estate.

  • 02

    Data Analysts

    Quickly discover the right, verified tables and dashboards before starting a new project, eliminating time wasted on data hunting.

  • 03

    Security & Governance Teams

    Inspect broad access personas and data-sharing purposes to ensure compliance and manage sensitive data access.

  • 04

    Enterprise AI Teams

    Ground other LLMs and agents in real metadata context by pulling exact definitions of business KPIs and data contracts.

FAQ

Questions Atlan owners ask.

  • 01

    Does this MCP help with data governance or just searching?

    It does both. While you can search for assets, the MCP's core value is governance. It lets your agent review policies, check data classifications (like PII), and verify business definitions, making governance conversational.

  • 02

    What is the difference between a 'Persona' and a 'User'?

    A User is a person with an account in Atlan. A Persona is an access control profile that defines what a specific business role can see. The MCP lets you list both, helping you audit who has access and what that access entails.

  • 03

    Can I use this with my existing data sources?

    Yes. This MCP connects to your Atlan workspace, which already aggregates metadata from your connected data ecosystem. You don't need to worry about connecting individual databases; the catalog handles that.

  • 04

    Is this just a directory of data assets?

    No. It's much deeper than a directory. It gives your AI agent context about what the data means, who owns it, and why it can be shared, using business glossaries and defined purposes.

  • 05

    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.

  • 06

    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.

  • 07

    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 capability for your agent.
