Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Airflow every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add airflow -- npx -y @us-all/airflow-mcp

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: AIRFLOW_API_URL (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 (Airflow username (used to mint a JWT via SimpleAuthManager /auth/token).), AIRFLOW_PASSWORD (Airflow password (used to mint a JWT via SimpleAuthManager /auth/token).), AIRFLOW_ALLOW_WRITE (Set to 'true' to enable trigger-dag and clear-task tools. Default read-only.), AIRFLOW_TOOLS (Comma-separated category allowlist (airflow,meta).), AIRFLOW_DISABLE (Comma-separated category disablelist.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Airflow — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Airflow?
Airflow runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @us-all/airflow-mcp was installed 80 times last week.
How do I connect Airflow?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @us-all/airflow-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Airflow?
The npm package @us-all/airflow-mcp was installed 80 times in the last week. Week over week that is +104%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Airflow open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 2 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
