DBOS MCP Server

This repository contains a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server with tools that can analyze and manage your DBOS workflows. It enables LLMs to retrieve information on your applications’ workflows and steps, for example to help you debug issues in development or production. To use this server, your application should be connected to Conductor.

You may want to use this alongside a DBOS prompt (Python, TypeScript, Go, Java) so your model has the most up-to-date information on DBOS.

Setup

Install uv

Before using this MCP server, you must install uv. For installation instructions, see the uv installation docs.

Setup with Claude Code

To use this MCP server with Claude Code, first install it:
