Build with MCP: Bring Context to Every Data Question

July 1611:00 AM ET / 12:00 PM PDT

Business users don't know table names, and don't want to. When a question comes up, they want to know where to find the data, whether they can trust it, and who owns it, without learning the catalog UI or filing a ticket and waiting on the data team.

Atlan MCP lets them ask in plain English from the tools they already use, and get an answer grounded in your catalog: the certified source, the agreed definition, and the owner. In this session, we'll show it answering real questions, and a community member will share how their team uses it. No ticket, no waiting on the data team.

What You'll See

01

Find the right data fast

"I'm starting a project on customer churn, what data do we have and who owns it?" Atlan MCP returns the named, relevant datasets and their owners. What used to take days of asking around becomes one question.

02

Get the definition everyone agreed on

Ask "what's our official definition of an active customer?" and Atlan MCP returns the company-agreed definition and the certified data behind it, so you're not working off a guess or tribal knowledge.

03

A community member shows it in production

Someone working in the same stack, with the same Monday-morning questions, walks through how their team actually uses this: the prompt they ran, what came back, and what it changed. The days of waiting, gone, and the quiet confidence the answer's right.

04

A trustworthy answer, no catalog required

This is the lowest-barrier way to get a trustworthy data answer. You leave knowing anyone on your team can find data, confirm they can trust it, and see who owns it, without learning a new tool.
