Values you fill in

HATCHET_CLIENT_TOKEN secret required env
Hatchet API token (a JWT). Encodes the server URL and tenant, so it is normally the only setting required.
HATCHET_API_BASE env
Override the API base URL. Self-hosters can point this at any Hatchet instance.
HATCHET_TENANT_ID env
Override the tenant id decoded from the token.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Hatchet MCP safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: HATCHET_CLIENT_TOKEN

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 3 months ago, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

hatchet-mcp

An MCP server that lets AI agents observe and operate Hatchet workflows — status, runs, logs, workers, and metrics, plus trigger / cancel / replay.

Why: Hatchet has a great API but no MCP. This wraps it so agents (Claude Code / Desktop, etc.) can see and act on workflow state.

Install

Add this to your Claude Code / Claude Desktop MCP config:

"mcpServers": { "hatchet": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "hatchet-mcp"], "env": { "HATCHET_CLIENT_TOKEN": " " } } } }

Get the token from the Hatchet dashboard → API tokens. The token is a JWT that encodes the server URL and tenant, so it's the only required setting.

Configuration

Variable	Required	Description
`HATCHET_CLIENT_TOKEN`	Yes	Hatchet API token (JWT). Encodes the server URL + tenant, so it's normally all you need.
`HATCHET_API_BASE`	No	Override the API base URL. Self-hosters can point this at any Hatchet instance.
`HATCHET_TENANT_ID`	No	Override the tenant id decoded from the token.

Self-hosting? Set HATCHET_API_BASE to your own Hatchet instance and it works anywhere.

Tools

Observability (read-only)

Tool	Description
`whoami`	Show the resolved Hatchet tenant + server URL and confirm the token works.
`list_workflows`	List workflow definitions for the tenant.
`list_runs`	List workflow runs (with an optional lookback window and filters).
`get_run`	Get the full detail of one workflow run — status, tasks, errors.
`get_run_logs`	Get log lines for a task by its external id.
`list_workers`	List workers and their status.
`get_queue_metrics`	Get task/queue metrics for the tenant (queue health).

Actions (mutate live state)

Tool	Description
`trigger_workflow`	Trigger a new workflow run by name with a JSON input payload.
`cancel_runs`	Cancel one or more runs/tasks by external id.
`replay_runs`	Replay/retry one or more runs/tasks by external id.

Safety

The read tools (whoami, list_workflows, list_runs, get_run, get_run_logs, list_workers, get_queue_metrics) are non-destructive.

trigger_workflow, cancel_runs, and replay_runs mutate live state — their descriptions are prefixed MUTATES LIVE STATE so agents and users know they affect real runs.

The token grants full tenant access — treat it as a secret. Never commit it to source control.

Development

pnpm install

pnpm test # vitest pnpm build # tsup -> dist/index.js

TypeScript / ESM, tested with vitest.

Status

v0.1.0 — all tools verified against Hatchet Cloud; works with self-hosted instances via HATCHET_API_BASE. trigger_workflow uses the stable /workflow-runs/trigger endpoint.
