NiFi MCP Server (via Knox)
Model Context Protocol server providing selectable read and write access to Apache NiFi via Apache Knox.
Works with both NiFi 1.x and 2.x - automatic version detection and adaptation.
Features
- Automatic version detection - Detects NiFi 1.x vs 2.x and adapts behavior
- Knox authentication - Supports Bearer tokens, cookies, and passcode tokens for CDP deployments
- Read-only by default - Safe exploration of NiFi flows and configuration
- Intelligent flow building - Pattern recognition and requirements gathering for complex flows
- 24 read-only MCP tools for exploring NiFi:
