Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Airflow MCP — list DAGs/runs/task instances, tail logs, trigger and clear (write-gated)

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Docs, sheets & office work
  • You need to fill in: AIRFLOW_API_URL, AIRFLOW_USERNAME, AIRFLOW_PASSWORD

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: AIRFLOW_API_URL, AIRFLOW_USERNAME, AIRFLOW_PASSWORD, AIRFLOW_ALLOW_WRITE, AIRFLOW_TOOLS, AIRFLOW_DISABLE

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "airflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@us-all/airflow-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AIRFLOW_API_URL": "your-value",
        "AIRFLOW_USERNAME": "your-value",
        "AIRFLOW_PASSWORD": "your-value",
        "AIRFLOW_ALLOW_WRITE": "your-value",
        "AIRFLOW_TOOLS": "your-value",
        "AIRFLOW_DISABLE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add airflow --env AIRFLOW_API_URL=your-value --env AIRFLOW_USERNAME=your-value --env AIRFLOW_PASSWORD=your-value --env AIRFLOW_ALLOW_WRITE=your-value --env AIRFLOW_TOOLS=your-value --env AIRFLOW_DISABLE=your-value -- npx -y @us-all/airflow-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "airflow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@us-all/airflow-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AIRFLOW_API_URL": "your-value",
        "AIRFLOW_USERNAME": "your-value",
        "AIRFLOW_PASSWORD": "your-value",
        "AIRFLOW_ALLOW_WRITE": "your-value",
        "AIRFLOW_TOOLS": "your-value",
        "AIRFLOW_DISABLE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "airflow": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@us-all/airflow-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "AIRFLOW_API_URL": "your-value",
        "AIRFLOW_USERNAME": "your-value",
        "AIRFLOW_PASSWORD": "your-value",
        "AIRFLOW_ALLOW_WRITE": "your-value",
        "AIRFLOW_TOOLS": "your-value",
        "AIRFLOW_DISABLE": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • AIRFLOW_API_URL required env
    Airflow host base, e.g. 'http://airflow.example.com:8080'. Server prepends /api/v2 internally; trailing /api/v1 or /api/v2 is stripped if supplied.
  • AIRFLOW_USERNAME required env
    Airflow username (used to mint a JWT via SimpleAuthManager /auth/token).
  • AIRFLOW_PASSWORD secret required env
    Airflow password (used to mint a JWT via SimpleAuthManager /auth/token).
  • AIRFLOW_ALLOW_WRITE env
    Set to 'true' to enable trigger-dag and clear-task tools. Default read-only.
  • AIRFLOW_TOOLS env
    Comma-separated category allowlist (airflow,meta).
  • AIRFLOW_DISABLE env
    Comma-separated category disablelist.

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

Common questions

Is Airflow safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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: AIRFLOW_API_URL, AIRFLOW_USERNAME, AIRFLOW_PASSWORD

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 –, and the latest version (1.4.1) 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?

@us-all/airflow-mcp

Airflow MCP server — read DAGs, runs, task instances, log tails; trigger and clear (write-gated). Built on @us-all/mcp-toolkit.

A focused MCP for the Airflow 3.x REST API (/api/v2). Read by default; airflow-trigger-dag and airflow-clear-task are gated behind AIRFLOW_ALLOW_WRITE=true. Auth is JWT via SimpleAuthManager — supply AIRFLOW_USERNAME + AIRFLOW_PASSWORD and the server mints/refreshes the token transparently.

For deeper dbt integration (manifest parsing, run-results history, source freshness, per-column test coverage, lineage walks, custom DQ result tables), install the companion [@us-all/dbt-mcp](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@us-all/dbt-mcp) alongside.

  • 7 tools in airflow + meta categories
  • 2 MCP Prompts for DAG triage workflows
  • 1 aggregation tool that replaces the list-runs → get-task-instances combo

Install

pnpm add -D @us-all/airflow-mcp

Run

AIRFLOW_API_URL=http://airflow.example.com:8080 \

AIRFLOW_USERNAME=admin AIRFLOW_PASSWORD=... \ npx @us-all/airflow-mcp

Pass the host base only — the server prepends /api/v2 internally. A trailing /api/v1 or /api/v2 is stripped if supplied. JWT tokens are cached for the lifetime of the session and refreshed 1 minute before they expire.

The server speaks MCP stdio; wire it into Claude Desktop / Cursor / any MCP client. Set MCP_TRANSPORT=http to opt in to Streamable HTTP transport (Bearer auth, /health endpoint).

Tested-against schemas

  • Airflow 3.0–3.2 /api/v2 (verified against 3.2.1, current Airflow release as of 2026-05). Airflow 2.x is not supported by v0.2+ because basic auth + /api/v1 were removed; pin to @us-all/airflow-mcp@0.1.0 for Airflow 2.x deployments.

Companion server

For dbt artifact parsing, run-results history, and DQ result tables, install @us-all/dbt-mcp alongside.

Build

pnpm install

pnpm run build # tsc → dist/ pnpm test # vitest pnpm run smoke # spawns dist/index.js, calls initialize + tools/list (set env first)
