deagentic Kedro MCP Adapter
Identity
This skill governs the design and implementation of the Kedro MCP adapter — the integration bridge that exposes Kedro pipeline operations as MCP tools consumable by LLM agents (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.).
Scope
- Pipeline introspection: MCP tools for listing, describing, and querying Kedro pipelines and their nodes.
- Pipeline execution: MCP tools for running pipelines and individual nodes with parameter overrides.
- Catalog access: MCP tools for querying dataset metadata, schemas, and latest outputs.
- DAG representation: MCP tools for returning Mermaid or JSON representations of pipeline graphs.
- Session management: Managing Kedro sessions within the FastMCP server context (initialization, teardown, caching).
Planned MCP Tool Surface (see ADR-0030)
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
list_pipelines |
Returns all registered pipeline names and descriptions |
describe_pipeline |
Returns nodes, inputs, outputs for a named pipeline |
run_pipeline |
Executes a named pipeline with given parameters |
get_catalog_entry |
Returns metadata and schema for a catalog dataset |
get_node_outputs |
Returns the latest outputs of a completed node run |
visualize_dag |
Returns a Mermaid DAG representation of a pipeline |
Architecture
MCP Client
→ FastMCP Server (adapters/inbound/mcp/)
→ KedroMCPAdapter (this integration)
→ Kedro Session (KedroContext / DataCatalog / Pipeline)
→ Data sources (catalogs, parameters, runners)
The adapter must follow hexagonal architecture: the FastMCP tool functions are the inbound port; the Kedro session interaction is the outbound adapter.
Status
This skill is a stub. Full implementation is gated on ADR-0030, which will define the Kedro session lifecycle, error handling, parameter schema, and security model for pipeline execution via MCP.
