MCP Server

To enable the MCP server functionality, set the mcp.enabled flag to true.

Once enabled, you can connect to the Kafbat UI instance using an MCP client at the following SSE endpoint:http://hostname/mcp/sse.

Visual Studio Code

To configure MCP in VS Code:

  1. Add the MCP server to your settings:

"mcp": {
  "servers": {
    "Kafka UI": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "http://hostname:8080/mcp/sse"
    }
  }
}
  1. Open the co-pilot chat window and switch to agent mode.

Claude supports remote MCP servers only with an Enterprise subscription. For basic usage, configure a mcp-remote proxy:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kafka": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "http://localhost:8080/mcp/sse",
        "--transport sse-only",
        "--allow-http"
      ]
    }
  }
}
