Dify MCP Server is a powerful bridge that connects MCP Client to Dify applications. It dynamically exposes Dify applications as tools that can be used directly within MCP Client, allowing users to interact with multiple Dify applications through a unified interface.
git clone https://github.com/zhuzhoulin/dify-mcp-server.git
cd dify-mcp-server
npm install
npm run build
The server uses the following environment variables:
AGENT_API_KEYS
: Comma-separated list of Dify API keysBASE_URL
: Base URL for Dify API (default: https://api.dify.ai)TIMEOUT
: Request timeout in milliseconds (default: 60000)To obtain the necessary API keys for the AGENT_API_KEYS
environment variable:
To use the server with Windsurf IDE, add this configuration to your MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dify-mcp-server": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/dify-mcp-server/build/index.js"
],
"env": {
"AGENT_API_KEYS": "key1,key2,key3",
"BASE_URL": "https://api.dify.ai",
"TIMEOUT": "60000"
}
}
}
}
Once properly configured, the Dify MCP Server automatically:
Each Dify application is exposed as a separate tool with a naming format of dify_app_info_{application_name}
. You can access these tools directly through the MCP Client interface.
The server supports:
If you encounter issues:
To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:
claude mcp add-json "dify-mcp-server" '{"command":"node","args":["/path/to/dify-mcp-server/build/index.js"],"env":{"AGENT_API_KEYS":"key1,key2,key3","BASE_URL":"https://api.dify.ai","TIMEOUT":"60000"}}'
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": {
"dify-mcp-server": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/dify-mcp-server/build/index.js"
],
"env": {
"AGENT_API_KEYS": "key1,key2,key3",
"BASE_URL": "https://api.dify.ai",
"TIMEOUT": "60000"
}
}
}
}
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": {
"dify-mcp-server": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/path/to/dify-mcp-server/build/index.js"
],
"env": {
"AGENT_API_KEYS": "key1,key2,key3",
"BASE_URL": "https://api.dify.ai",
"TIMEOUT": "60000"
}
}
}
}
3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
