🎉 What's new

Customers all over the world use Atlan MCP to build and manage their context layer, discover trusted datasets, enrich metadata at scale, and build autonomous data workflows, all from the AI tools they already use.

Over the past two months, we've shipped multiple releases to Atlan MCP that enable your AI agents to get better answers with tighter access controls, fewer tokens, and easier connectivity from more places than ever.

Here's what's changed:

🚀 Faster, smarter, leaner responses

- Search is now significantly faster: Search queries now return in seconds, powered by a new retrieval engine built for speed.

- Complex queries get better answers: Complex, open-ended questions are now routed to Atlan AI, allowing it to reason across your catalog, lineage, glossary, and data quality metadata, instead of requiring your MCP client to reason over raw catalog data itself.

- Responses use fewer tokens: Responses from Atlan MCP now use fewer tokens thanks to a summary page for agents, compacted responses, and only returning the most relevant connected subgraphs for lineage graphs.

- Smarter input handling: New safeguards against potential errors auto-correcting casing and type mismatches, normalize parameter names, auto-suggest fixes for mistyped or invalid values and make sure you get the answers you need.

🔒 Access controls that work everywhere

- Workspace-level MCP toggle: You can now gradually roll out Atlan MCP across your workspace. In Admin Center → Labs, you'll find a new toggle that you can use to enable or disable MCP for your workspace, and enable for everyone or admins only.

- User-aware results by default: Every interaction with Atlan MCP is properly scoped to user permissions and respects what the connected user's persona is allowed to see in Atlan, across both OAuth and API key sign-ins. Changes propagate immediately. 

🌎 Available in more tools

- Single connection URL: Connect to any Atlan workspace through mcp.atlan.com – one URL handles tenant routing automatically, no per-tenant configuration needed.

- More ways to get started: We've worked with ecosystem partners to make it easier to get started with Atlan MCP across more locations than ever:

• Claude Code plugin: Get started easily with Atlan MCP in Claude Code by installing the Atlan MCP plugin.
• ChatGPT App: Work with Atlan MCP in ChatGPT by installing the Atlan MCP ChatGPT app.
