OpenMetadata MCP server: ask questions, get governed answers
OpenMetadata is an open-source metadata platform that stores data assets, lineage, ownership, glossary terms, data quality test results and pipeline details.
Try it on your own data in a pilot.
OpenMetadata AI analytics: what you can ask
Typical questions from data engineering, governance, analytics. Each answer shows the definition, source and query behind it.
- Which tables failed a data quality test in the last 7 days?
- How many tables lack an owner, by service?
- List glossary terms with no linked assets
- Show the number of data quality test failures per week this quarter
- Which pipelines had the most failed runs this month?
How Nexatron connects to OpenMetadata
- Whose permissions
- Your administrator approves the access the OpenMetadata connection uses. Where OpenMetadata supports per-user sign-in, answers run under each person's own access, and Nexatron roles decide who in your company can ask.
- Read and write
- Questions are read-only: asking never changes OpenMetadata data.
- Setup
- Our team sets up the OpenMetadata connection with your administrator during the pilot. No data migration and no pipeline to build: data is queried where it lives.
OpenMetadata MCP connector for Claude, ChatGPT and Copilot
Nexatron's hosted MCP server is a governed OpenMetadata MCP connector: Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot ask questions of your OpenMetadata data through it. Each person signs in as themselves, so the assistant sees only what they may see.
Connect OpenMetadata to Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot
- Connect OpenMetadata to your Nexatron workspace.
- In Claude, add Nexatron from Claude's connector directory. In ChatGPT or Copilot, add a custom MCP connector with the server URL
https://api.nexatron.io/api/v1/mcp. - Sign in with your own Nexatron identity (OAuth 2.1), then ask your OpenMetadata questions.
OpenMetadata connector FAQ
- Can I ask OpenMetadata questions without writing queries?
- Yes. Ask in Teams, Slack, the Nexatron web app, or an AI assistant connected through Nexatron's MCP server.
- Does Nexatron respect OpenMetadata permissions?
- Yes. Where OpenMetadata supports per-user sign-in, answers run under each person's own access.
- Can Nexatron change data in OpenMetadata?
- No. Asking a question never changes OpenMetadata data.
- What do I need to connect OpenMetadata?
- An administrator who can approve the connection. Our team sets it up with them during the pilot.
- Is there a OpenMetadata MCP server for Claude, ChatGPT or Copilot?
- Yes: Nexatron's hosted MCP server, once OpenMetadata is connected to your workspace. It is Nexatron's server, not one published by OpenMetadata, and the assistant gets the same governed answer as the Nexatron app.
Try Nexatron on your own OpenMetadata data
A pilot starts with three questions your team already asks and the report you trust for each, so you can check the answers yourself.
