Merlin is Encord’s agentic layer. Use natural language in Encord or a connected AI tool to work with your Projects, Ontologies, data, Workflows, and analytics.
Merlin does not support every action available in the Encord app or SDK. If Merlin can’t complete an action, it points you to the right place in the app or the SDK.

Use Merlin in Encord

When Merlin is enabled for your organization, start a conversation from any of the following:
  • The Merlin box on the home page.
  • Merlin in the navigation sidebar.
  • Global search, by selecting Ask Merlin.
Type @ in the chat to mention a Project, Ontology, Dataset, or folder. When Merlin asks for approval before taking an action, select Confirm or Deny.

Use Merlin from your AI tools

You can also use Merlin from Claude, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible AI tools. See Merlin MCP to connect your AI agent.
