🛠️ Installation

Prerequisites

Python 3.8+
StreamSets Control Hub account with API credentials
Claude Desktop (for MCP integration)

Setup

Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/streamsets-mcp-server.git cd streamsets-mcp-server
Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
Configure environment variables
export STREAMSETS_HOST_PREFIX="https://your-instance.streamsets.com" export STREAMSETS_CRED_ID="your-credential-id" export STREAMSETS_CRED_TOKEN="your-auth-token"
Test the server
python streamsets_server.py

Docker Deployment

Setup for MCP Integration

# Build the image docker build -t streamsets-mcp-server . # Create persistent volume for pipeline builders docker volume create streamsets-pipeline-data

Manual Testing

# Test run with volume persistence docker run --rm -it \ -e STREAMSETS_HOST_PREFIX="https://your-instance.streamsets.com" \ -e STREAMSETS_CRED_ID="your-credential-id" \ -e STREAMSETS_CRED_TOKEN="your-auth-token" \ -v streamsets-pipeline-data:/data \ streamsets-mcp-server

Claude Desktop Integration

Option 1: Direct Python (Local Development)

{ "mcpServers": { "streamsets": { "command": "python", "args": ["/path/to/streamsets_server.py"], "env": { "STREAMSETS_HOST_PREFIX": "https://your-instance.streamsets.com", "STREAMSETS_CRED_ID": "your-credential-id", "STREAMSETS_CRED_TOKEN": "your-auth-token" } } } }

Option 2: Docker with Persistence (Production)

{ "mcpServers": { "streamsets": { "command": "docker", "args": [ "run", "--rm", "-i", "-v", "streamsets-pipeline-data:/data", "-e", "STREAMSETS_HOST_PREFIX=https://your-instance.streamsets.com", "-e", "STREAMSETS_CRED_ID=your-credential-id", "-e", "STREAMSETS_CRED_TOKEN=your-auth-token", "streamsets-mcp-server" ] } } }

📖 Usage Examples

Job Management

# List all jobs sdc_list_jobs organization="your-org" status="ACTIVE" # Get detailed job information sdc_get_job_details job_id="your-job-id" # Start/stop jobs sdc_start_job job_id="your-job-id" sdc_stop_job job_id="your-job-id" # Bulk operations sdc_start_multiple_jobs job_ids="job1,job2,job3"

Pipeline Operations

# Search pipelines sdc_search_pipelines search_query="name==ETL*" # Get pipeline details sdc_get_pipeline_details pipeline_id="your-pipeline-id" # Export/import pipelines sdc_export_pipelines commit_ids="commit1,commit2"

Metrics & Analytics

# Job performance metrics sdc_get_job_metrics job_id="your-job-id" # System health overview sdc_get_job_count_by_status # Executor infrastructure metrics sdc_get_executor_metrics executor_type="COLLECTOR" label="prod" # Security audit trails sdc_get_security_audit_metrics org_id="your-org" audit_type="login"

🔧 Configuration

Environment Variables

Required (StreamSets Authentication)

STREAMSETS_HOST_PREFIX - StreamSets Control Hub URL
STREAMSETS_CRED_ID - API Credential ID
STREAMSETS_CRED_TOKEN - Authentication Token

Optional (Pipeline Builder Persistence)

PIPELINE_STORAGE_PATH - Custom storage directory for pipeline builders

Pipeline Builder Storage

Pipeline builders are automatically persisted across conversations and container restarts:

Storage Locations (Priority Order)

Custom Path: PIPELINE_STORAGE_PATH environment variable
Docker Volume: /data/pipeline_builders (when running in Docker)
Default Path: ~/.streamsets_mcp/pipeline_builders/

Configuration Options

Format: Pickle files for session persistence
Management: Automatic file management with error handling
Fallback: Memory-only mode if no writable storage available

Docker Persistence

When using Docker, pipeline builders persist in named volumes:

# Data persists in Docker volume 'streamsets-pipeline-data' docker volume create streamsets-pipeline-data # Run with persistent volume docker run --rm -it -v streamsets-pipeline-data:/data streamsets-mcp-server

Troubleshooting

No Persistence: Check storage directory permissions
Docker Issues: Ensure volume mounts are configured correctly
Memory Mode: Server logs will indicate if persistence is disabled
