collibra MCP

collibra MCP

Local MCP server for the Collibra Core REST API (2.0). Lets a Claude session read and write Collibra assets/attributes/relations so the Power BI semantic-model detail (tables, columns, measures, DAX, descriptions) can be pushed onto the report's Collibra asset page.

Pairs with powerbi / powerbi-modeling-mcp (which read the PBI model). Collibra Edge keeps the basic inventory/lineage in sync; this server fills in the rich detail Edge does not push.

Setup

  1. copy .env.example .env and fill in COLLIBRA_BASE_URL, COLLIBRA_USERNAME, COLLIBRA_PASSWORD. Leave COLLIBRA_READONLY=true for now.

  2. Registered in ~/.claude.json as the collibra MCP server (launcher: run_collibra.cmd, venv: .venv). Restart Claude Code / run /mcp to connect.

  3. collibra_ping to verify auth.

Related MCP server: pbix-mcp

Auth

Username/password session against /rest/2.0/auth/sessions. The cookie + CSRF token are captured on login and reused; a 401/403 triggers one automatic re-login. SSL verify on by default (COLLIBRA_VERIFY_SSL).

Tools

Read/discovery: collibra_ping, collibra_find_assets, collibra_get_asset, collibra_get_attributes, collibra_list_asset_types, collibra_list_attribute_types, collibra_list_relation_types, collibra_list_domains, collibra_list_communities, collibra_get (generic GET explorer).

Write (blocked while COLLIBRA_READONLY=true): collibra_create_asset, collibra_set_attribute, collibra_add_relation, collibra_import_json (bulk idempotent upsert via the Import API) + collibra_job_status, and collibra_request (generic call).

Workflow

  1. Discover what Edge created: collibra_list_asset_types, collibra_list_relation_types, then collibra_find_assets(type_name="...") for a sample report. This reveals the target asset types, attribute types, and lineage relations to map onto.

  2. Map PBI -> Collibra structure.

  3. Flip COLLIBRA_READONLY=false, dry-run with collibra_import_json(..., simulation=true), then commit.
