# Marmot
**Discover any data asset in seconds. Then let your AI do the same.**
_The open-source context layer for your AI. Catalog your tables, topics, queues and APIs then expose real metadata to your AI agents._
[Documentation](https://marmotdata.io/docs/introduction) • [Live Demo](https://demo.marmotdata.io) • [Deploy](https://marmotdata.io/docs/Deploy) • [Community](https://discord.gg/TWCk7hVFN4)
## What is Marmot?
Marmot is an **open-source data catalog** designed for teams who want powerful data discovery without enterprise complexity. Catalog every data asset, enrich it with the context that matters and make it accessible to your team and your AI tools.
Unlike traditional catalogs that require extensive infrastructure and configuration, Marmot ships as a **single binary** with an intuitive UI, making it easy to deploy and start cataloging in minutes.
- **Discover** - One place for AI and engineers to find every table, topic, queue and API
- **Understand** - Trace how data flows and what depends on what with lineage
- **Contextualize** - Ownership, business definitions and custom fields that give AI the full picture
- **Share** - Expose certified context through MCP, the API and the UI
## Features
### Search Everything
Find any data asset across your entire organisation in seconds. Combine full-text search with structured queries using metadata filters, boolean logic, and comparison operators.
---
### Interactive Lineage Visualisation
Trace data flows from source to destination with interactive dependency graphs. Understand upstream and downstream dependencies, identify bottlenecks, and analyse impact before making changes.
---
### Metadata-First Architecture
Store rich metadata for any asset type. From tables and topics to APIs and dashboards.
---
### Team Collaboration
Assign ownership, document business context, and create glossaries. Keep your entire team aligned with centralised knowledge about your data assets.
