Features

• Create and manage Flink clusters
• Create and manage Flink SQL jobs
• Deploy and control Flink applications
• Monitor job status and metrics
• Create and manage savepoints
• List and manage deployments
• Workspace and namespace management

Prerequisites

• JDK 17 or higher
• Maven 3.6 or higher
• Alibaba Cloud account with RTC (Realtime Compute) access
• Alibaba Cloud Access Key ID and Secret

Client Configuration

To use this server as an MCP client, add the following configuration to your MCP settings file (e.g., cline_mcp_settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "rtc-mcp-server": {
      "command": "java",
      "args": [
        "-Dtransport.mode=stdio",
        "-Dspring.main.web-application-type=none",
        "-Dspring.main.banner-mode=off",
        "-Dlogging.file.name=/path/to/rtc-mcp-server/mcpserver.log",
        "-jar",
        "/path/to/rtc-mcp-server/target/rtc-mcp-server-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your-access-key-id",
        "ALIYUN_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "your-access-key-secret"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Replace /path/to/rtc-mcp-server with your actual server path and provide your Alibaba Cloud credentials in the environment variables.
