- dolphin-mcp-pilot: Manually curated tools focused on operations workflows (create, run, monitor, debug). Multi-tenant auth enables shared MCP server scenarios. Raw API passthrough as a safety valve for uncovered edge cases.
- ocean-zhc/dolphinscheduler-mcp: Auto-generated tools providing broad REST API coverage. Better for read-only exploration and administrative tasks (audit logs, lineage, K8s). Single-tenant by design.
