# airflow-mcp-server: An MCP Server for controlling Airflow
## Overview
A [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server for controlling Airflow via Airflow APIs.

## Setup
### Usage with Claude Desktop
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"airflow-mcp-server": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"airflow-mcp-server"
],
"env": {
"AIRFLOW_BASE_URL": "http://<host:port>/api/v1",
"AUTH_TOKEN": "<base64_encoded_username_password>"
}
}
}
}
```
### Operation Modes
The server supports two operation modes:
- **Safe Mode** (`--safe`): Only allows read-only operations (GET requests). This is useful when you want to prevent any modifications to your Airflow instance.
- **Unsafe Mode** (`--unsafe`): Allows all operations including modifications. This is the default mode.
To start in safe mode:
```bash
airflow-mcp-server --safe
```
To explicitly start in unsafe mode (though this is default):
```bash
airflow-mcp-server --unsafe
```
### Considerations
The MCP Server expects environment variables to be set:
- `AIRFLOW_BASE_URL`: The base URL of the Airflow API
- `AUTH_TOKEN`: The token to use for authorization (_This should be base64 encoded username:password_)
- `OPENAPI_SPEC`: The path to the OpenAPI spec file (_Optional_) (_defaults to latest stable release_)
*Currently, only Basic Auth is supported.*
**Page Limit**
The default is 100 items, but you can change it using `maximum_page_limit` option in [api] section in the `airflow.cfg` file.
## Tasks
- [x] First API
- [x] Parse OpenAPI Spec
- [x] Safe/Unsafe mode implementation
- [ ] Parse proper description with list_tools.
- [ ] Airflow config fetch (_specifically for page limit_)
- [ ] Env variables optional (_env variables might not be ideal for airflow plugins_)
