About SeaTunnel MCP Server
SeaTunnel MCP Server is an MCP server that gives LLM clients access to an Apache SeaTunnel instance through its RESTful API V2. It targets users who manage data integration jobs with LLM tools.
Key features
- 01Job submission, stop and monitoring
- 02Cluster overview and system monitoring
- 03Runtime connection settings updates
- 04Detailed job information and statistics
- 05SSE and uv run modes
Use cases
- 01Submitting SeaTunnel jobs in batch from an LLM client
- 02Checking the state of running and finished jobs
- 03Inspecting the health of a SeaTunnel cluster
MCP support
This project is an MCP server that exposes SeaTunnel REST API job management and monitoring operations as tools to MCP clients.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

From the project READMESeaTunnel MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with SeaTunnel through LLM interfaces like Claude.

Installation
# Clone repository
git clone <repository_url>
cd seatunnel-mcp
# Create virtual environment and install
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -e .
Requirements
- Python ≥ 3.12
- Running SeaTunnel instance
- Node.js (for testing with MCP Inspector)
Usage
Environment Variables
SEATUNNEL_API_URL=http://localhost:8090 # Default SeaTunnel REST API URL
SEATUNNEL_API_KEY=your_api_key # Optional: Default SeaTunnel API key
Dynamic Connection Configuration
The server provides tools to view and update connection settings at runtime:
get-connection-settings: View current connection URL and API key statusupdate-connection-settings: Update URL and/or API key to connect to a different SeaTunnel instance
Example usage through MCP:
// Get current settings
{
"name": "get-connection-settings"
}
// Update connection settings
{
"name": "update-connection-settings",
"arguments": {
"url": "http://new-host:8090",
"api_key": "new-api-key"
}
}
Job Management
The server provides tools to submit and manage SeaTunnel jobs:
submit-job: Submit a new job with job configurationsubmit-jobs: Submit multiple jobs in batchstop-job: Stop a running jobget-job-info: Get detailed information about a specific jobget-running-jobs: List all currently running jobsget-finished-jobs: List all finished jobs by state (FINISHED, CANCELED, FAILED, etc.)
Running the Server
python -m src.seatunnel_mcp

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
