You can use the discover method with the connection object. the code snippet as follows

XmlaClient xmlConn = new XmlaClient();
xmlConn.Discover("DBSCHEMA_CATALOGS", "", "", out outParam, false, false, false);

it gives all the list of databases in a xml format. now you can retrieve databases in that xml by using the linq to xml concepts.
