The README and official docs describe it as an open-source data catalog that catalogs tables, topics, queues, APIs, dashboards, services, and other assets, then exposes that metadata to humans and AI tools. The project is written in Go and positions itself as light infrastructure: a single binary backed by PostgreSQL, with a UI, REST API, plugin model, and built-in MCP server. ### Adoption history By 2026-07-01 GitHub metadata showed 592 stars and 21 forks. The supplied package-manager facts list a Homebrew formula, and the GitHub organization also publishes related deployment assets such as charts. The official docs frame adoption around agent-readable context: Marmot stores metadata such as schemas, ownership, descriptions, tags, lineage, and statistics, while not ingesting table rows, topic messages, or API payloads. ### How it is used Marmot is used by deploying the service, connecting sources through plugins or APIs, and browsing or querying cataloged assets through the UI, REST API, or MCP server. Its main package-manager relevance is the marmot executable and single-binary deployment story. Because it is still young, the package history is thinner than established Markdown tools. The official sources are strong on positioning and architecture, but public third-party adoption signals remain limited. ### Why package nerds care Marmot matters to package nerds as an example of the 2025-2026 wave of AI-adjacent infrastructure being packaged as ordinary CLIs and single binaries. Its MCP server makes the data-catalog package part of agent tooling, not just data-platform tooling. ### Timeline - 2025: GitHub repository created. - 2026: v0.8 and v0.10 preview releases appeared with binary assets and agent-native/context-layer work. ### Related projects - Marmot sits near data catalogs, metadata platforms, lineage tools, and MCP servers for AI agents. - Its official organization also publishes Helm/chart deployment material for Kubernetes use. ### Sources - - - - source_facts.repo ## Security Notes No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for marmot.
