Use Atlan tools from Claude Code to find registry artifacts, inspect skills, and verify the context available to your current identity.
Preview. This path uses Claude Code’s remote HTTP MCP support and Atlan’s Streamable HTTP endpoint.

Prerequisites

  • A current Claude Code installation with remote HTTP MCP support.
  • The Atlan MCP endpoint: https://agentgateway.atlan.engineering/mcp.
  • OAuth sign-in through Claude Code.
  • Workspace access to the artifacts and tools you expect to use.

Setup

  1. Add the Atlan MCP endpoint to the project or user MCP configuration.
  2. Complete the OAuth sign-in flow when Claude Code prompts you.
  3. Start Claude Code and approve the server when prompted.
Keep credentials out of project configuration files and source code.

Use a selected skill

To hand a reviewed skill from Atlan to Claude Code, use the skill profile’s Open in action. The selected-skill handoff is separate from this MCP setup and includes a prompt-copy fallback.

Use a skill in Claude Code

Follow the selected-skill handoff and review the prompt before using it.

Publish skills through Claude Code

Prepare a read-only inventory, then confirm a bounded MCP creation batch.

Expected result

Claude Code connects to the atlan server and makes the tools returned by Atlan available to the session. The list varies with account, workspace access, and enabled capabilities.

Verification

Run claude mcp list and confirm that atlan is connected. In Claude Code, open /mcp, inspect the server, then try a read-only task such as finding a skill by name.

Limitations

  • This integration is in Preview and is not enabled for every Atlan account.
  • Claude Code prompts before it trusts a project-scoped MCP server.
  • A connected server does not guarantee access to every Registry or Skill tool.
  • Tool calls follow the permissions of the authenticated Atlan identity.
See the Claude Code MCP documentation for client scopes, authentication, and connection diagnostics.
