What is the Atlan Agent Toolkit?

The Atlan Agent Toolkit is a collection of tools and protocols designed to enable AI agents to interact with Atlan, a modern data catalog and governance platform. The toolkit includes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Atlan's capabilities to Large Language Models (LLMs).

How to use the project?

The primary component of the toolkit is the MCP server. To use it, you need to have an Atlan instance and the necessary credentials. The server can be run and connected to your MCP client, allowing you to use natural language to interact with your Atlan data catalog.

Key Features

• Asset Search: Search for data assets within your Atlan catalog.
• Asset Retrieval: Retrieve detailed metadata about your data assets.
• Powered by pyatlan: The MCP server leverages the official Atlan Python SDK (pyatlan).

Use Cases

• AI-Powered Data Discovery: Enable AI agents to search and discover relevant data assets in your organization's data catalog.
• Automated Data Governance: Build AI-powered workflows to automate data governance tasks, such as classifying data or assigning ownership.
• Data-Aware Chatbots: Create chatbots that can answer questions about your data assets, providing users with instant access to metadata and context.

FAQ

Q: What is Atlan? A: Atlan is a collaborative data workspace that helps teams to discover, understand, and trust their data. It provides a unified view of all your data assets, along with rich context and collaboration features.

Q: What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)? A: MCP is a protocol that allows Large Language Models (LLMs) to interact with external tools and services, enabling them to perform actions and access information beyond their built-in knowledge.
