HTTP Transport
{
"mcpServers": {
"airflow-mcp-server-http": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"airflow-mcp-server",
"--http",
"--port",
"3000",
"--base-url",
"http://localhost:8080",
"--auth-token",

]
}
}
}Note: - Setbase_urlto the root Airflow URL (e.g.,http://localhost:8080). - Do not include/api/v2in the base URL. The server will automatically fetch the OpenAPI spec from${base_url}/openapi.json. - Only JWT token is required for authentication. Cookie and basic auth are no longer supported in Airflow

Built from this server's own package name, version and transport as found in its source — not copied from anyone's documentation, so it cannot drift against a page we do not control. Replace the environment placeholders with a token scoped to the least it needs.

Questions
What is the Airflow MCP server?
MCP Server for Apache Airflow
What tools does Airflow expose?
5 in total: 5 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Airflow safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does Airflow need?
It reads AUTH_TOKEN and OPENAI_API_KEY from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.
How does Airflow run?
It speaks stdio and streamable-http, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on PyPI as airflow-mcp-server.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (fd132be975aa), read on 2026-10-08. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
