## Setup

### Installing via Smithery

To install OpenMetadata MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@yangkyeongmo/mcp-server-openmetadata):

```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install @yangkyeongmo/mcp-server-openmetadata --client claude
```

### Environment Variables

Set one of the following authentication methods:

#### Token Authentication (Recommended)
```
OPENMETADATA_HOST=<your-openmetadata-host>
OPENMETADATA_JWT_TOKEN=<your-jwt-token>
```

#### Basic Authentication
```
OPENMETADATA_HOST=<your-openmetadata-host>
OPENMETADATA_USERNAME=<your-username>
OPENMETADATA_PASSWORD=<your-password>
```

### Usage with Claude Desktop

Add to your `claude_desktop_config.json` using one of the following authentication methods:

#### Token Authentication (Recommended)
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-openmetadata": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-openmetadata"],
      "env": {
        "OPENMETADATA_HOST": "https://your-openmetadata-host",
        "OPENMETADATA_JWT_TOKEN": "your-jwt-token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### Basic Authentication
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-openmetadata": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-openmetadata"],
      "env": {
        "OPENMETADATA_HOST": "https://your-openmetadata-host",
        "OPENMETADATA_USERNAME": "your-username",
        "OPENMETADATA_PASSWORD": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Alternative configuration using `uv`:

#### Token Authentication (Recommended)
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-openmetadata": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/mcp-server-openmetadata",
        "run",
        "mcp-server-openmetadata"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OPENMETADATA_HOST": "https://your-openmetadata-host",
        "OPENMETADATA_JWT_TOKEN": "your-jwt-token"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### Basic Authentication
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-openmetadata": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/mcp-server-openmetadata",
        "run",
        "mcp-server-openmetadata"
      ],
      "env": {
        "OPENMETADATA_HOST": "https://your-openmetadata-host",
        "OPENMETADATA_USERNAME": "your-username",
        "OPENMETADATA_PASSWORD": "your-password"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Replace `/path/to/mcp-server-openmetadata` with the actual path where you've cloned the repository.
