[](https://mseep.ai/app/fortunto2-prefect-mcp-server) # Prefect MCP Server This repository provides a Prefect MCP server configuration using the `prefect-mcp-server` package with a reliable running mechanism via `uvx`. The configuration is tailored for use with the Cursor IDE. <a href="https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/@fortunto2/prefect-mcp-server"> <img width="380" height="200" src="https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/@fortunto2/prefect-mcp-server/badge" alt="Prefect Server MCP server" /> </a> ## Prerequisites - Python 3.9 or newer. - A preferred virtual environment tool (such as uv) for managing Python environments. - Prefect 3 (see [Prefect Documentation](https://docs.prefect.io/v3/get-started/install) for installation instructions). ## Installation Create and activate your virtual environment, then install Prefect MCP Server: ```bash uv venv --python 3.12 && source .venv/bin/activate uv pip install -U prefect-mcp-server ``` ## Configuration The server is configured via the `.cursor/mcp.json` file. The updated configuration is as follows: ```json { "mcpServers": { "prefect": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "prefect-mcp-server" ], "env": {} } } } ``` This configuration ensures that the server uses the `uvx` command with the exact package version installed via `uv pip install`. This approach provides enhanced reliability and consistency in your development environment. ## Environment Variables Set the following environment variables to configure your Prefect environment. You can create a file named `.env` in the project root with entries such as: ```bash PREFECT_API_URL=http://localhost:4200/api ``` Additionally, if needed, set other environment variables like `PREFECT_API_KEY` to authenticate with your Prefect server or Prefect Cloud. ## Running the Server To start the server, you can run the following command: ```bash uv run <script> ``` Alternatively, if you are using the Cursor IDE with its configuration, the server will be automatically invoked with the command specified in `.cursor/mcp.json`. ## Documentation Detailed documentation on the Prefect MCP Server functionality and usage is available in the [docs/prefect_mcp_documentation.md](docs/prefect_mcp_documentation.md) file. The documentation includes: - Complete list of available tools and their parameters - Instructions for installation and configuration - Examples of usage with different MCP clients - Prefect 3.0 compatibility information ## Cursor Rules This repository includes Cursor Rules for working with the Prefect MCP Server, located in the `.cursor/rules/` directory. These rules provide contextual help and guidance when working with Prefect MCP in the Cursor IDE. ## Additional Information - For further details on Prefect installation and usage, please refer to the [Prefect Documentation](https://docs.prefect.io/). - For information about the Model Context Protocol (MCP), see the [MCP Documentation](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/). - Use `uv run` for running scripts within the configured environment as recommended by Cursor. Happy coding!
