Integrations

  • Allows interaction with Apache Airflow through a Model Context Protocol server that wraps Airflow's REST API. Supports DAG management (listing, viewing details, pausing/unpausing), DAG runs (listing, creating), task management (listing tasks and task instances), and system information (health status, version, import errors).

mcp-server-apache-airflow

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Apache Airflow, enabling seamless integration with MCP clients. This project provides a standardized way to interact with Apache Airflow through the Model Context Protocol.

About

This project implements a Model Context Protocol server that wraps Apache Airflow's REST API, allowing MCP clients to interact with Airflow in a standardized way. It uses the official Apache Airflow client library to ensure compatibility and maintainability.

Setup

Dependencies

This project depends on the official Apache Airflow client library (apache-airflow-client). It will be automatically installed when you install this package.

Environment Variables

Set the following environment variables:

AIRFLOW_HOST=<your-airflow-host> AIRFLOW_USERNAME=<your-airflow-username> AIRFLOW_PASSWORD=<your-airflow-password>

Usage with Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-server-apache-airflow": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["mcp-server-apache-airflow"], "env": { "AIRFLOW_HOST": "https://your-airflow-host", "AIRFLOW_USERNAME": "your-username", "AIRFLOW_PASSWORD": "your-password" } } } }

Alternative configuration using uv:

{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-server-apache-airflow": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/path/to/mcp-server-apache-airflow", "run", "mcp-server-apache-airflow" ], "env": { "AIRFLOW_HOST": "https://your-airflow-host", "AIRFLOW_USERNAME": "your-username", "AIRFLOW_PASSWORD": "your-password" } } } }

Replace /path/to/mcp-server-apache-airflow with the actual path where you've cloned the repository.

Selecting the API groups

You can select the API groups you want to use by setting the --apis flag.

uv run mcp-server-apache-airflow --apis "dag,dagrun"

The default is to use all APIs.

Allowed values are:

  • config
  • connections
  • dag
  • dagrun
  • dagstats
  • dataset
  • eventlog
  • importerror
  • monitoring
  • plugin
  • pool
  • provider
  • taskinstance
  • variable
  • xcom

Manual Execution

You can also run the server manually:

make run

make run accepts following options:

Options:

  • --port: Port to listen on for SSE (default: 8000)
  • --transport: Transport type (stdio/sse, default: stdio)

Or, you could run the sse server directly, which accepts same parameters:

make run-sse

Installing via Smithery
