openmetadata MCP Server

What this does

openmetadata exposes a set of tools to Claude over the Model Context Protocol. After you add it to claude_desktop_config.json (snippet above) and restart Claude Desktop, those tools become callable inside any conversation.

Requirements

This server needs the following environment variables to be set before it can run:

OPENMETADATA_HOST
OPENMETADATA_TOKEN
OPENMETADATA_ALLOW_WRITE
OM_TOOLS
OM_DISABLE

Set these via the env object in your MCP config (see claude_desktop_config.json snippet above).

How do I install openmetadata?

Run the Claude Code command in the install section to add openmetadata to Claude Code, or copy the ready-made config for your client from the install section on this page. Restart your client afterwards and the tools appear in your next conversation.

Which clients work with openmetadata?

This page carries setup and config for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor and VS Code. Any other MCP client that accepts a standard server config can connect to openmetadata as well.

Does openmetadata need an API key?

Yes. Before it can run, set these environment variables: OPENMETADATA_HOST, OPENMETADATA_TOKEN, OPENMETADATA_ALLOW_WRITE, OM_TOOLS, OM_DISABLE. They go in the env block of your MCP config.
