Apache Airflow
Connects to Apache Airflow clusters via REST API to let you manage workflows, monitor tasks, and access performance data using natural language commands instead of complex API calls.
Provides a bridge to Apache Airflow for managing and monitoring workflows through natural language, enabling DAG management, task execution, and resource administration without leaving your assistant interface.
What it does
- Manage DAG operations and lifecycle
- Monitor task execution and status
- Access XCom data between tasks
- Control connection pools and variables
- Track performance analytics and logs
- Handle import errors and debugging

About Apache Airflow
Apache Airflow is a community-built MCP server published by yangkyeongmo that provides AI assistants with tools and capabilities via the Model Context Protocol. Manage and monitor workflows using Apache Airflow. Streamline workflow automation software and enable automated approval
How to install
You can install Apache Airflow in your AI client of choice. Use the install panel on this page to get one-click setup for Cursor, Claude Desktop, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible clients. This server runs locally on your machine via the stdio transport.
License
Apache Airflow is released under the MIT license. This is a permissive open-source license, meaning you can freely use, modify, and distribute the software.
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.
