Can my team share one Atlan connection?

Yes. One administrator connects Atlan with an API key and shares the connection with a team in Elaichi, and nobody else on the team ever handles the key. Each person still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so the audit log names who created a user or changed a group, not just the shared connection.

Knowledge Management

Atlan MCP connector

The Atlan connector brings Atlan users, groups, roles and SSO group mappings into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and other MCP clients, so your team can manage who has access to the data catalog by asking in plain language.

Connect on Elaichi How to connect

How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.
One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.
Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Atlan to Claude?

Connect Atlan in Elaichi first: you paste an Atlan API key from your Atlan tenant, and there is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the Elaichi endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in as yourself and Atlan is available in your next conversation.

Does Atlan work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Atlan is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Atlan once and every client you use picks it up.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Atlan data?

Through this connector an agent works with the people side of Atlan: users, groups, roles and SSO group mappings. It can create a user and add them to groups, change someone's role, create or update a group and see who is in it, remove members, list the roles in your tenant, and create, update or delete the mappings between your identity provider groups and Atlan groups. It does not manage catalog assets, glossaries or lineage through this connector.

Does connecting Atlan give the AI access to my whole Atlan tenant?

No. Every request runs under the Atlan API key of the person who connected, so the agent can only do what that key is allowed to do in Atlan. Elaichi can narrow that further by turning off individual actions for a team, and it can never grant more than the key already has.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Atlan?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow listing Atlan users and groups while blocking deleting SSO group mappings, removing members or changing roles. A blocked action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor, so no prompt can reach it.

What happens to an Atlan connection when someone leaves?

Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Atlan through every client at once. If they had shared an Atlan connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else. If you want it gone entirely, disconnecting Atlan once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and every other client.
