version: "1.0.1" name: airflow-adapter description: Airflow adapter pattern for v2/v3 API compatibility. Use when working with adapters, version detection, or adding new API methods that need to work across Airflow 2.x and 3.x.
Airflow Adapter Pattern
Enables compatibility with both Airflow 2.x (/api/v1) and 3.x (/api/v2).
Architecture
MCP Tool → _get_adapter() → AirflowV2Adapter or AirflowV3Adapter → Airflow API
Version is auto-detected at startup.
