Access needs a sales contract, since no price, trial or self-serve sign-up is published, and no general API rate limit was found in the reviewed documentation.\n\n**OpenMetadata.** MCP built into every instance at /mcp and on by default since 2.0, with nothing extra to install. The 16 default tools take about 50,000 characters of definitions, 12,285 of them for search_metadata alone.\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### OpenMetadata\n\n1. Set `entityType` for data-quality questions. testCase and testSuite are outside the default search scope\n2. Match a table's tests on `originEntityFQN`, not `entityFQN`. Column-level tests store the column's FQN there\n3. Read several known entities in one `search_metadata` call with a `terms` clause on `fullyQualifiedName` plus `fields`\n4. Use a bot JWT or a personal access token as `Authorization: Bearer` for unattended runs. OAuth needs a browser sign-in\n5. Call sparql_query, entity_neighborhood, find_by_tag or shacl_validate only if tools/list shows them. They appear only when the operator enabled RDF\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Collibra or OpenMetadata?\n\nOpenMetadata scores 66.6 (B) on agent readiness against Collibra's 64.6 (B), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Collibra leads on transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Can an agent call Collibra and OpenMetadata without installing anything?\n\nCollibra runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed. No hosted endpoint is listed for OpenMetadata.\n\n### Are Collibra and OpenMetadata open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Collibra. OpenMetadata is open source (Apache-2.0 for the platform. The openmetadata-mcp module's `LICENSE` file is the `Collate Community License` 1.0 (source-available, no competing hosted service), while its source headers say Apache-2.0.
