Main

  • Install OpenMetadata using the project’s quick-start docs, then enable the MCP application and connect your MCP client to /mcp.

  • Use MCP as the governed interface: lineage, ownership, glossary terms, tags/classifications, and quality results become agent-queryable context.

  • Pair MCP with Semantic Search for natural-language discovery when users don’t know exact asset names.

Source-backed notes

  • README states OpenMetadata includes an MCP server and links to MCP documentation.
  • README Quickstart section shows the MCP endpoint format: https://<YOUR-OPENMETADATA-SERVER>/mcp.
  • README lists MCP tools/workflows and calls out Semantic Search through MCP as a supported workflow.

FAQ

  • Do I need MCP to use OpenMetadata?: No — MCP is an integration option; the platform also exposes APIs and UI for metadata work.
  • What does MCP unlock?: README frames MCP as a way for assistants/agents to interact with the metadata graph via natural language.
  • What should I set up first?: Start with ingestion + basic governance (owners, glossary, quality) so MCP answers have reliable context.
