Rockfish MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to the Rockfish API, enabling AI assistants to interact with Rockfish's machine learning platform.

Features

This MCP server provides tools for the following Rockfish resources:

• Databases: Create, list, update, and delete databases

• Worker Sets: Manage worker sets for distributed processing

• Workflows: Create and manage ML workflows

• Models: Upload, list, and manage ML models

• Projects: Organize and manage projects

• Datasets: Create and manage datasets

Installation

1. Clone the repository and set up your virtual environment (Python 3.12 or below):

2. Install dependencies:

3. Set up environment variables:

Configuration

Create a .env file with your Rockfish API credentials:

If you want to use a specific Rockfish Organization and/or Rockfish Project, add the following to the .env file too:

Usage

Run the MCP server:

Or use the console script:

Claude Desktop Setup

To use this MCP server with Claude Desktop:

1. Complete some of the installation steps above (clone, install dependencies). Note that you do not need to start the MCP server manually for using it with Claude Desktop. Claude Desktop will automatically start it for you when you follow the steps below. Also, the .env file doesn't need to be created, we will be adding the environment variables to the Claude setup.

2. Find your Claude Desktop configuration directory:

   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/

   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\

   • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/

3. Create or edit the in that directory:

Note that setting ROCKFISH_ORGANIZATION_ID and ROCKFISH_PROJECT_ID is optional. If you don't set these variables, the default organization and/or default project will be used.

4. Update the paths in the configuration:

   • Replace /path/to/your/project/.venv/bin/python with the actual path to your Python executable

   • Replace your_api_key_here with your actual Rockfish API key

   • Adjust ROCKFISH_BASE_URL if you're using a different endpoint

   • Adjust ROCKFISH_ORGANIZATION_ID if you're using a different organization other than the default one

   • Adjust ROCKFISH_PROJECT_ID if you're using a different project other than the default one

5. Get the correct Python path by running this command in your project directory:

6. Example configuration (replace with your actual paths and API key):

7. Restart Claude Desktop after making these changes

8. Test the connection by asking Claude to list your Rockfish databases or projects

MCP Inspector Setup

The MCP Inspector is a debugging tool that helps you test your MCP server before connecting it to Claude Desktop.

Installation

Usage

1. Start the MCP Inspector:

2. Or create a test script for easier repeated testing:

Make it executable and run:

3. The Inspector will open in your browser and show:

   • Available tools (should show all 32 Rockfish tools)

   • Tool schemas and descriptions

   • Interactive tool testing interface

4. Test your tools by:

   • Selecting a tool from the list (e.g., list_databases)

   • Filling in required parameters

   • Clicking "Call Tool" to test the API call

   • Viewing the response

Useful Tools to Test First

• list_databases - Simple GET request with no parameters

• list_projects - Another simple list operation

• get_database - Test with a database ID from the list

• create_database - Test creating a new resource

Troubleshooting

• MCP server not appearing: Check that the Python path is correct and the virtual environment is activated

• Authentication errors: Verify your ROCKFISH_API_KEY is correct

• Connection issues: Confirm your ROCKFISH_BASE_URL is accessible

• Path issues on Windows: Use forward slashes or escaped backslashes in JSON paths
