The eight default tools carry about 26,000 characters of descriptions, and search and get_lineage each repeat the same 3,063-character filter grammar.\n\n**Guru.** Hosted MCP server at https://mcp.api.getguru.com/mcp, registered as com.getguru/mcp-server in the official MCP registry. No public prices, plans or trial, and the pricing page sends everyone to sales.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### DataHub\n\n1. Start keyword queries with `/q` and pass filters as one string, such as `entity_type = dataset AND platform = snowflake`\n2. Call `search` with `num_results=0` first to get the tags, glossary terms, platforms and domains in use\n3. Page with `offset`. `num_results` is capped at 50\n4. Expect no write tools unless the operator set `TOOLS_IS_MUTATION_ENABLED=true`, and create tags and terms before `add_tags` or `add_terms` refers to them\n5. Use https://mcp.datahub.com/mcp with OAuth only on DataHub Cloud v1.0.2 or later. DataHub Core needs the local server and a personal access token\n\n### Guru\n\n1. Ask the person for a Guru account. There's no trial or keyless route, and OAuth needs a pre-approved client\n2. Send `Authorization: Bearer email:token` to the MCP server when OAuth isn't available, and basic auth to https://api.getguru.com/api/v1/\n3. Use a collection token for read-only work. User tokens write with the user's full rights\n4. Follow the `Link` header to page REST search results. Each page holds at most 50 cards\n5. Confirm with a person before archiving or moving cards. Guru documents no confirmation step\n\n## Other comparisons with DataHub or Guru\n\n- [Atlan vs Guru](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/atlan-vs-guru.md)\n- [Glean vs Guru](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/glean-vs-guru.md)\n- [Guru vs Onyx](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/guru-vs-onyx.md)\n- [Guru vs Overclock](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/guru-vs-overclock.md)\n- [Atlan vs DataHub](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/atlan-vs-datahub.md)\n- [DataHub vs Marmot](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/datahub-vs-marmot.md)\n- [DataHub vs OpenMetadata](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/datahub-vs-openmetadata.md)\n- [Guru vs Marmot](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/guru-vs-marmot.md)\n- [Guru vs OpenMetadata](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/guru-vs-openmetadata.md)\n",
