This MCP server conforms to Anthropic's Model Context Protocol and provides a way to check the status of Airbyte connections directly from Claude Desktop. It serves as a bridge between your Claude interface and your Airbyte workspace, allowing you to monitor connection statuses without leaving the Claude environment.
Install UV for virtual environment management if you haven't already
Create a virtual environment and activate it:
uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
Install the required dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Create a .env
file in the project root and add your Airbyte credentials:
AIRBYTE_WORKSPACE_ID=xxx
AIRBYTE_CLIENT_ID=xxx
AIRBYTE_CLIENT_SECRET=xxx
AIRBYTE_API_KEY=xxx
Run the application:
uv run airbyte_status_checker.py
Configure the claude_desktop_settings.json
file with absolute paths to UV and the Python file. Your configuration should look similar to this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"airbyte-status-checker": {
"command": "/Users/yourusername/.local/bin/uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/Users/yourusername/path/to/airbyte-mcp-list-sources",
"run",
"airbyte_status_checker.py"
]
}
}
}
Add the server to Claude Desktop:
claude_desktop_config.json
fileclaude_desktop_config.json
fileVerify the server is properly added by checking for the hammer icon in the bottom right of the text entry box in Claude Desktop.
If you encounter issues with the MCP server:
~/Library/Logs/anthropic/claude-desktop-server.log
claude_desktop_config.json
file is correctly formattedRemember to restart Claude Desktop after making any configuration changes.
To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add-json "airbyte-status-checker" '{"command":"/Users/quintonwall/.local/bin/uv","args":["--directory","/Users/quintonwall/code/airbyte-mcp-list-sources","run","airbyte_status_checker.py"]}'
See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.
There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file so that it is available in all of your projects.
If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json
file.
To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".
When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json
file will be opened and you can add your server like this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"airbyte-status-checker": {
"command": "/Users/quintonwall/.local/bin/uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/Users/quintonwall/code/airbyte-mcp-list-sources",
"run",
"airbyte_status_checker.py"
]
}
}
}
To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json
file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.
Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.
The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.
You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.
To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:
1. Find your configuration file:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
2. Add this to your configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"airbyte-status-checker": {
"command": "/Users/quintonwall/.local/bin/uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/Users/quintonwall/code/airbyte-mcp-list-sources",
"run",
"airbyte_status_checker.py"
]
}
}
}
3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
