The record

Purpose: MetaKarta is an enterprise metadata management platform with one shared metadata repository for lineage, cataloging, governance and semantic definitions.
Data lineage: Its lineage capability parses SQL, Python, Informatica mappings, SSIS packages, stored procedures and COBOL copybooks to compute column-level lineage.
Data catalog: The data catalog attaches business context to technical metadata harvested directly from the data estate.
Data governance: Data governance applies ownership, versioning and policy at the point of use and retains change history for audits.
Semantic Hub: Semantic Hub compiles governed business definitions into native database and BI formats and provides compiled context for AI agents.
Connectors: Meta Integration states that MetaKarta has more than 400 native connectors spanning mainframe through modern cloud systems.
Standard integrations: The Standard edition includes supported RDBMS sources, dbt, Spark, HiveQL, Tableau, Power BI and Qlik Sense connectors.
Licensing: MetaKarta is licensed by concurrent-user packs rather than named seats, with producer and consumer license roles.
Metadata limits: Every edition includes unlimited metadata assets, and bundled connectors can be used against unlimited data sources of their type.
Deployment: Customer-managed deployment can run on-premises or in private/public cloud environments including AWS, Azure and GCP.
REST API: MetaKarta provides direct REST API access to information contained in the platform.
MCP: MetaKarta includes an administrator-enabled Model Context Protocol server for metadata-management and Semantic Hub tools, resources and prompts.
Security: Meta Integration's trust page identifies SOC 2 Type II and links to its Trust Center for security and compliance resources.
Browser extension: MetaKarta can provide cataloging, governance and lineage information inside third-party BI web interfaces through a browser extension; Amazon Chrome is currently supported.
Price from: $4.17/mo
