What is the DolphinScheduler MCP server?

DolphinScheduler MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on DolphinScheduler directly instead of describing what you should do. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Apache Dolphinscheduler. This provides access to your Apache Dolphinshcheduler RESTful API V1 instance and the surrounding ecosystem.

What you get

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Apache DolphinScheduler, allowing AI agents to interact with DolphinScheduler through a standardized protocol.

DolphinScheduler MCP provides a FastMCP-based server that exposes DolphinScheduler's REST API as a collection of tools that can be used by AI agents. The server acts as a bridge between AI models and DolphinScheduler, enabling AI-driven workflow management.

  • Full API coverage of DolphinScheduler functionality
  • Standardized tool interfaces following the Model Context Protocol
  • Easy configuration through environment variables or command-line arguments
  • Comprehensive tool documentation

Setting it up

The server ships on PyPI as dolphinscheduler-mcp, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

Configuration and credentials

You will need 3 environment variables: DOLPHINSCHEDULER_API_URL, DOLPHINSCHEDULER_API_KEY, DOLPHINSCHEDULER_MCP_HOST. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.

Before you rely on it

  • 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.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the dolphinscheduler mcp server does with a few real requests.

Choosing this one

This sits in the knowledge and memory group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by ocean-zhc; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
