Astro MCP server

Public Preview
This feature is in Public Preview.

Astro provides two experimental Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that allow AI models and agents to securely access your Astro resources. Connect to our MCP server natively or by using the mcp-remote module in compatible AI clients.

Servers

The Astro Cloud MCP server is an authenticated remote MCP server that provides tools for discovering and managing your Astro resources, including Deployments, Workspaces, and environment variables. The Astro Cloud MCP server follows the authenticated remote MCP specification, with the server centrally hosted and managed by Astronomer.

The Astro Registry MCP server is a public remote MCP server that provides resources for the Astro Registry, including Airflow modules and connection configurations.
