Step-by-step guide to integrate Airflow MCP server with Augment Code. Includes list_dags and trigger_dag.

Airflow + Augment Code: Complete MCP Integration

Airflow is a MCP server that A MCP Server that connects to Apache Airflow using official python client..

When integrated with Augment Code, you can:

  • List all available DAGs in Airflow
  • Manually trigger a DAG run
  • Get DAG run history and status

This guide provides step-by-step instructions to set up Airflow in Augment Code, including configuration, examples, and troubleshooting.

What You'll Achieve

After completing this setup:

  • Airflow will be fully integrated and operational
  • You can use Airflow tools directly in Augment Code
  • All Airflow capabilities will be available for your workflows
  • Access to 5 different tools

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

  • Airflow webserver host URL
  • Airflow authentication username
  • Airflow authentication password
  • Augment Code installed and configured
  • Compatible operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux)

Installation

Step 1: Install Airflow

Configuration

Step 2: Configure Augment Code

  1. Open Augment Code settings
  2. Navigate to MCP server configuration
  3. Add Airflow server with appropriate settings
  4. Save and restart if needed

Examples

Once configured, you can use Airflow in Augment Code:

Pipeline Monitoring

undefined

Ask Augment Code: "Check status of all DAGs and recent failures"

Expected Result: undefined

Manual DAG Execution

undefined

Ask Augment Code: "Trigger monthly_report DAG with date parameter"

Expected Result: undefined

Troubleshooting Failed Tasks

undefined

Ask Augment Code: "Show failed tasks in data_pipeline and their error logs"

Expected Result: undefined

Testing Your Setup

  1. Launch Augment Code
  2. Verify Airflow is available in the tools list
  3. Test basic Airflow functionality

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Installation Failed

Symptoms: npm install errors, Command not found

Cause: Node.js version incompatibility or PATH issues

Solution:

  • Verify Node.js version 16 or higher is installed
  • Check npm installation and PATH configuration
  • Try using yarn instead of npm
  • Clear npm cache and reinstall

MCP Server Not Found

Symptoms: Server command not found, Configuration errors

Cause: Server not installed or not in PATH

Solution:

  • Verify MCP server installation
  • Use absolute path to server executable
  • Check server executable permissions
  • Test server command independently

Repository Analysis Fails

Symptoms: Analysis errors, No improvements suggested

Cause: MCP server integration or codebase issues

Solution:

  • Check repository is properly initialized
  • Verify MCP server is responding correctly
  • Review analysis logs for specific errors
  • Start with smaller codebase for testing

Airflow not appearing in Augment Code

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

  • Verify configuration syntax
  • Check Airflow installation
  • Restart Augment Code
  • Check logs for error messages
