For AI agents

Every page in these docs is available as Markdown, and the whole site can be searched from an MCP client. Point your coding agent here before it writes code against Atlan.

Copy a page

Copy any page as Markdown from the page menu or with a keyboard shortcut.

Load the docs index

Give an agent llms.txt or llms-full.txt to load the docs in one request.

Connect the docs MCP

Let Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code search these docs on demand.

Use the Atlan MCP

Act on Agent Registry objects from an MCP client with Atlan credentials.

Endpoints

These paths are generated from the published docs at https://platform.atlan.com. Append them to that URL.

Path	What it returns	Notes
`/llms.txt`	An index of every page, with titles and descriptions	Start here to let an agent choose what to read.
`/llms-full.txt`	The full text of every page in one file	Large. Use it when the agent can hold the whole site in context.
`<page>.md`	One page as Markdown	Add `.md` to any page URL, for example `/get-started.md`.
`Accept: text/markdown`	One page as Markdown	Send this header to any page URL.
`/skill.md`	A skill file that describes these docs to an agent	Install it with the command in Install the docs skill.
`/mcp` and `/.well-known/mcp`	The docs MCP server and its MCP discovery document	No sign-in needed.

Request a page as Markdown with the Accept header:

curl -L -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://platform.atlan.com/get-started

Connect the docs MCP server

The docs MCP server exposes a search tool over these docs. Connect it once and your agent can look up the current docs instead of relying on training data.

Claude Code
Cursor
VS Code
Other clients

claude mcp add --transport http atlan-docs https://platform.atlan.com/mcp

Add the server to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or to ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project:

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "atlan-docs": {
      "url": "https://platform.atlan.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or choose Connect to Cursor from the page menu at the top of any page.

Add the server to .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "atlan-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://platform.atlan.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Or choose Connect to VS Code from the page menu at the top of any page.

Point any client that supports remote MCP servers over HTTP at https://platform.atlan.com/mcp. The page menu also has Copy MCP Server and Copy MCP install command.

The docs MCP server only searches documentation. The Atlan product MCP server at https://api.atlan.com/mcp acts on Agent Registry objects and needs Atlan credentials. See Atlan MCP to connect it.

Install the docs skill

Install the docs skill to give your agent a short description of these docs and how to use them:

npx skills@1.7.0 add https://platform.atlan.com

Copy-paste prompts

Paste one of these prompts into your coding agent. None of them need credentials in the prompt. Keep ATLAN_API_KEY and ATLAN_WORKSPACE_ID in your environment.
