* DataWorks Open API with access key and secret key

## Installation

### Option 1: Install from npm (recommend for clients like Cursor/Cline)

```bash
# Install globally
npm install -g alibabacloud-dataworks-mcp-server

# Or install locally in your project
npm install alibabacloud-dataworks-mcp-server
```

### Option 2: Build from Source (for developers)

1. Clone this repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-dataworks-mcp-server

## Security Considerations

* Keep your private key secure and never share it
* Use environment variables for sensitive information
* Regularly monitor and audit AI agent activities

## Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues:

1. Verify your Aliyun Open API access key and secret key are correct
2. Check your region id is correct
3. Ensure you're on the intended network (mainnet, testnet, or devnet)
4. Verify the build was successful
