stop_schedule
Stop (disable) a schedule — persists across restarts; does not terminate in-flight runs
How to use it
Project documentation lists stop_schedule for the Dagster MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.

uvx dagster-mcpOther tools in Dagster MCP (26)
Launch a partition backfill by asset selection with optional run config; respects each asset's BackfillPolicy server-side
Get description, upstream/downstream dependencies, partitions, latest materialization
Consolidated health view — staleness, freshness policy, last run status (works with single asset or entire group)
Start here — global health: daemon status, queued run count, code location errors
Get materialization history with metadata for an asset
Consolidated failure diagnosis — failed steps, root cause error, step durations, and suggestions in one call
Get structured log events with pagination and optional level filtering (ERROR, WARNING, INFO); EngineEvent events include metadataEntries
Get per-step execution stats: timing, materializations, expectation results
Get status, config, tags, and run lineage (re-execution chain via rootRunId/parentRunId)
List recent runs, filter by job name and/or status
Tick-by-tick history for a schedule or sensor — essential for detecting silent failures. Accepts optional repositoryname / locationname to disambiguate a name shared by several code locations
Launch a named job; assetkeys remains supported for compatibility and is sent through GraphQL assetSelection, but the two-step asset workflow is preferred
Launch a partitioned job for one or more partition keys; creates a backfill (supports fromfailure to retry only failed steps)
List recent backfills with status and partition progress
List all code locations and their load status
List jobs across code locations, optionally filtered by exact repositoryname and/or locationname (use to find names for launchjob)
List schedules with status (RUNNING/STOPPED), cron, target job, next tick
List sensors with status and target jobs
Launch concrete, unpartitioned asset keys with run config and tags; infers one compatible repository/job, includes compatible checks, and expands required non-subsettable multi-asset neighbors
Reload a code location after deploy
Resolve key/group/tag/kind/owner predicates, wildcards, boolean logic, roots/sinks, and lineage traversal into concrete asset keys without launching anything
Discover assets by key prefix or group name
Start (enable) a schedule so it launches runs on its cron
Start (enable) a sensor so it resumes evaluating
Stop (disable) a sensor — the fix for a runaway or erroring sensor found via gettickhistory
Stop a stuck or runaway run
