Astronomer Agents is an AI agent toolkit designed for data engineering workflows, aiming to help developers interact with Apache Airflow and data warehouses more efficiently. It addresses the pain points of frequently consulting documentation, manually executing commands, and debugging code during the development and management of complex data pipelines.
The toolkit includes an Airflow MCP server, which allows AI assistants to directly query and operate Airflow instances; a CLI tool named af for conveniently managing Airflow in the terminal; and a series of "skills" that enhance the professional capabilities of AI programming assistants (such as Claude Code and Cursor) in the Airflow and data warehouse domains.
It is well-suited for data engineers, full-stack developers, and DevOps engineers, especially teams whose daily work involves building, monitoring, and optimizing Airflow-based data pipelines. Whether managing DAG runs, debugging tasks, or analyzing query results in data warehouses, this toolkit can significantly improve efficiency.
Usage recommendation: For Claude Code users, it is recommended to install its official plugin for the best integration experience. For users of open-source Airflow, simply point the AIRFLOW_API_URL environment variable to your instance. For first-time users, it is suggested to start with the npx skills add command to quickly experience all the skills.
Key Features
Officially built by Astronomer, the commercial company behind Apache Airflow, offering the deepest understanding and support for the Airflow ecosystem; it not only provides an MCP server but also offers "skills" optimized for AI coding assistants and a convenient CLI tool, forming a complete workflow solution from AI assistance to command-line operations.
Limitations
Primarily focused on Airflow and data warehouse-related workflows, not suitable for general programming tasks outside the data engineering domain.
FAQ
Which AI coding assistants does this tool support?
It supports 25+ AI coding assistants, including Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), Windsurf, and Cline.
I use self-hosted open-source Airflow. Can I use it?
Yes, the MCP server is compatible with any Airflow 2.x/3.x version that provides a REST API. You just need to set the AIRFLOW_API_URL environment variable.
