Atlan has open-sourced a specification for agent registries, together with a CLI that works with any registry that follows it. Both are in one repository, under the Apache 2.0 license, with their own documentation and release notes.

This site documents Atlan Agent Registry, Atlan’s hosted product. The open-source project is documented, released, and maintained in its own repository. This page explains how the two relate and where to find each.

​
What the project includes

  • The registry file specification. A standard layout for a registry as plain files, so any client can read any registry that follows it, wherever it is stored: a folder, a Git repository, or a static host.
  • The CLI, brain. The client for the specification. It manages registries and installs their artifacts into coding agents.
  • Example registries and checks for testing a registry against the specification.
Both the specification and the CLI are pre-1.0 and may still change. Their names may change too; this page always has the current links.

​
How Atlan Agent Registry relates

Atlan Agent Registry is a managed registry. It implements the same specification and adds what an organization needs to run one: approval queues, roles and SSO, search, and traces and evals. Because it implements the specification, the open-source CLI works with Atlan Agent Registry too. It connects through the Atlan adapter, a signed module Atlan releases separately. Atlan Desktop installs both for you. To set them up yourself, see Use the CLI with Atlan.

Releases and changes

The open-source project announces its releases in its release notes on GitHub. The Atlan changelog covers Atlan Agent Registry only, so it does not list releases of the specification or the CLI.
