No public price, trial or self-serve signup. Access starts with a demo request.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Collibra\n\n1. Ask a Collibra administrator to register an OAuth application. Integration applications use client credentials, and MCP clients need a user application with a redirect URI\n2. Reuse each access token for its 5 minutes. The token endpoint answers 429 once a client drains its pool of 100 tokens, refilled at 30 a minute\n3. Page large reads with `cursor=` and `sortField=ID`. Cursor and offset parameters cannot be combined, and Search API `limit` plus `offset` cannot exceed 10,000\n4. Keep Import API files to 10,000 assets or fewer and run at most 8 imports at once. Retry a job that fails on a concurrency error\n5. Expect `discover_data_assets` and `discover_business_glossary` to consume Collibra Units and to need the `dgc.ai-copilot` permission. Use `search_asset_keyword` for free keyword search\n\n### Glean\n\n1. Get the backend host from the Glean admin. APIs answer at https://\u003cinstance\u003e-be.glean.com and MCP at that host under /mcp/\u003cserver-name\u003e\n2. Ask for a user-scoped token with only the scopes the task needs. A global token can impersonate whoever `X-Glean-ActAs` names\n3. Keep chat under 0.5 calls a second and search under 5, and back off on 429\n4. Call the Platform API's `/api/search` for typed filters, `page_size` up to 100 and problem+json errors\n5. Send `X-Glean-Exclude-Deprecated-After` in tests to catch fields due for removal\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Collibra or Glean?\n\nGlean scores 69.8 (B) on agent readiness against Collibra's 64.6 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Collibra leads on reliability.\n\n### Do Collibra and Glean need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Collibra and Glean without installing anything?\n\nCollibra runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed.
