# Claude Code

> Connect Claude Code to the Atlan MCP endpoint.

Use Atlan tools from Claude Code to find registry artifacts, inspect skills,
and verify the context available to your current identity.

<Note>
  **Preview.** This path uses Claude Code's remote HTTP MCP support and Atlan's
  Streamable HTTP endpoint.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

* A current Claude Code installation with remote HTTP MCP support.
* The Atlan MCP endpoint: [https://agentgateway.atlan.engineering/mcp](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.

## 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.
