What is the Cloudera Cml MCP server?

Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Cloudera Cml MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. A standalone MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for interacting with Cloudera Machine Learning (CML).

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: CLOUDERA_ML_HOST, CLOUDERA_ML_API_KEY, CML_API_TOKEN, CML_BASE_URL, CML_CERT_FILE. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

  • Python 3.8+ - Required Python packages: - mcp[cli]>=1.2.0 - requests>=2.31.0

Getting it running

uvx on PyPI is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.

How it compares

Plenty of developer tooling servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. It is maintained by yw449; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
