Install Openmetadata in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y @us-all/openmetadata-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

OpenMetadata MCP Server

The OpenMetadata MCP that ships full CRUD across every entity type — including OM 1.12+ Data Contracts, Metrics, Search Index, API Collections, and API Endpoints that the embedded MCP doesn't cover yet.

172 tools, 4 workflow Prompts (lineage impact / DQ investigation / glossary bootstrap / owner reassign), 7 MCP Resources, and aggregations like lineage-impact (downstream blast-radius w/ owner notification list), quality-rollup (DQ status across a scope), and official Data Contract validation.

What it does that others don't

  • OM 1.12+ entity coverage — Data Contracts, Metrics, Search Index, API Collections, API Endpoints, plus native contract validation/result retrieval. Not in the embedded MCP yet.
  • Aggregation tools — lineage-impact answers "what breaks if I change/drop X?" by walking lineage + counting consumers + breaking down by entity type + resolving the owner union for change-mgmt notifications, in one call. get-domain-summary returns domain + 6 child entity types via /search/query with tracktotalhits in one call instead of 7 sequential. get-table-summary folds table + lineage + sample-data + DQ similarly.
  • Semantic search — semantic-search over OM 1.12+ vector index (POST /search/vector/query). Useful when keyword search misses synonyms.
  • MCP Prompts (4) — lineage-impact-analysis, data-quality-investigation, glossary-term-bootstrap, owner-change-propagation. Workflow templates the model invokes directly.
  • MCP Resources (7) — om://table/{fqn}, om://glossary-term/{fqn}, om://lineage/{type}/{fqn}, om://search/{query}, om://dashboard/{fqn}, om://pipeline/{fqn}, om://schema/{fqn}.
  • Token-efficient by design — extractFields projection on 28 read tools (drops changeDescription/version/updatedBy/href noise — ~80% size reduction), OMTOOLS/OMDISABLE category toggles, search-tools meta-tool.
  • Apps SDK card — lineage-impact renders as a blast-radius card on ChatGPT clients (downstream/upstream counts + type breakdown + top consumers + owners-to-notify) via _meta["openai/outputTemplate"]. Claude clients receive the same JSON content.
  • stdio + Streamable HTTP — defaults to stdio. Set MCPTRANSPORT=http for ChatGPT Apps SDK or remote clients (Bearer auth via MCPHTTP_TOKEN).

Try this — 5 prompts

Connect the server to Claude Desktop or Claude Code, then paste any of these:

  1. Lineage impact — "The payments.transactions table is being deprecated. List every dashboard, pipeline, and ML model that depends on it (upstream + downstream, depth 3)."
  2. Data quality investigation — "Show all failing test cases from the last 7 days. Group by table, then by test type, with pass/fail counts."
  3. Glossary bootstrap — "Create a payments glossary with these 8 terms: chargeback, refund, settlement, KYC, AML, transaction, customer-id, payment-method. Link related terms."
  4. Owner reassign — "User taehee is leaving. List every entity (table/dashboard/pipeline/ML model) where they are owner. Then reassign all of them to team data-platform."
  5. Domain summary — "Summarize the analytics domain: total tables/dashboards/pipelines/ML models, top 5 by recent updates, and the data products it owns."

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
