What is the Hatchet MCP server?

Hatchet MCP server is a hosted integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Observe and operate Hatchet workflows from an AI agent — runs, logs, trigger, cancel, replay.

What you get

An MCP server that lets AI agents observe and operate Hatchet workflows — status, runs, logs, workers, and metrics, plus trigger / cancel / replay.

Setting it up

Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.

Configuration and credentials

You will need 2 environment variables: HATCHET_CLIENT_TOKEN, HATCHET_TENANT_ID. 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

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • 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 hatchet mcp server does with a few real requests.

Choosing this one

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

This entry was verified against Hatchet's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Hatchet to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Hatchet directly.
