Airflow + OpenSumi: Complete MCP Integration
Airflow is a MCP server that A MCP Server that connects to Apache Airflow using official python client..
When integrated with OpenSumi, 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 OpenSumi, including configuration, examples, and troubleshooting.

Pipeline Monitoring
undefined
Ask OpenSumi: "Check status of all DAGs and recent failures"
Expected Result: undefined
Manual DAG Execution
undefined
Ask OpenSumi: "Trigger monthly_report DAG with date parameter"
Expected Result: undefined
Troubleshooting Failed Tasks
undefined
Ask OpenSumi: "Show failed tasks in data_pipeline and their error logs"
Expected Result: undefined
Testing Your Setup
- Launch OpenSumi
- Verify Airflow is available in the tools list

Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Dependency Installation Failures
Symptoms: Yarn/npm install errors, Missing packages, Version conflicts
Cause: Incompatible Node.js version or network issues
Solution:
- Ensure Node.js 16+ is installed
- Use yarn for standard installation, npm for lite version
- Clear package cache: yarn cache clean or npm cache clean --force
- Check network connectivity and proxy settings
Workspace Not Loading
Symptoms: Empty workspace, Files not showing, Permission errors
Cause: Incorrect workspace path or permissions
Solution:
- Verify MY_WORKSPACE environment variable is set correctly
- Check file system permissions for workspace directory
- Use absolute path for workspace location
- Default workspace is tools/workspace in repository
VSCode Extension Compatibility
Symptoms: Extension not loading, Extension errors, Missing features
Cause: Extension API incompatibility or missing dependencies
Solution:
- Verify extension is compatible with VSCode extension API used by OpenSumi
- Check extension documentation for known issues
- Try downloading extensions via yarn run download-extension
- Some extensions may require OpenSumi-specific adaptation
WebWorker Compilation Errors (Lite Version)
Symptoms: Compile-worker fails, Language service not working, Syntax highlighting broken
Cause: WebWorker build configuration issues
Solution:
- Run npm run compile-worker before starting
- Ensure all dependencies are installed correctly
- Check browser console for WebWorker loading errors
- Clear browser cache and rebuild
MCP Client Connection Failures
Symptoms: Cannot connect to MCP server, Tool discovery fails, MCP errors in console
Cause: MCP server not running or incorrect configuration
Solution:
- Verify MCP server is running and accessible
- Check MCP server URL in OpenSumi configuration
- Review MCP client integration code for errors
- Check browser/Electron console for detailed error messages
Electron App Not Starting
Symptoms: Electron window not opening, White screen, App crashes on launch
Cause: Electron build issues or IPC communication errors
Solution:
- Ensure Electron dependencies are installed correctly
- Check Electron version compatibility (15+)
- Review IPC communication setup in configuration
- Check Electron dev tools console for errors
Airflow not appearing in OpenSumi
Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available
Cause: Configuration or installation issue
Solution:
- Verify configuration syntax
- Check Airflow installation
- Restart OpenSumi
- Check logs for error messages
