An MCP server enabling language models to interact with Apache Kafka and its ecosystem.

Kafka Ecosystem MCP Server

Overview

mcp-kafka is a server-side implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for Apache Kafka. It enables language models (LLM/SLM) to interact reliably with Kafka and its ecosystem, including Kafka Connect, Burrow, and Cruise Control.

NOTE: This is a work in progress, and changes or potential errors are expected.

Features

The server supports capabilities based on the core Kafka APIs, excluding Streams (for now), along with the Burrow and Cruise Control REST APIs.

TODO

  • [ ] Use asyncio and aiohttp.
  • [ ] Set env config values in the data class.
  • [ ] Finish admin/consumer/producer API support.
  • [ ] Support Burrow API.
  • [ ] Support Cruise Control API.
  • [ ] Service + integration tests.
  • [ ] Publish to PyPI (uv pip install mcp-kafka).
  • [ ] Test Dockerfile & push to Dockerhub (docker pull bkpowers/mcp-kafka).
  • [ ] Usage/config/deployment options + demo in README.
  • [ ] Consider Strimzi/kcctl integrations.
  • [ ] Prompts with auto-complete support for certain resources/tools.
