Use these cookbooks to complete a bounded task with Atlan’s public APIs. Each recipe states its outcome, prerequisites, API calls, and verification step, so people and agents can follow it without reconstructing a workflow from endpoint reference pages.

​
Before you start

Direct HTTP API requests need an Atlan gateway URL and the authentication required by that API. MCP clients complete OAuth with the public MCP endpoint. The authenticated identity determines the workspaces and actions available to the request.
  • Read authentication and keep credentials in an approved secret store.
  • Use workspace access deliberately. A successful request can create, change, or expose resources only in workspaces available to the caller.
Start with the API quickstart when you have not yet verified the credential, workspace scope, and response shape in your own environment.

Use the right surface

The site does not send live requests or store credentials. Run examples from an approved development or deployment environment.
