Overview

What is Aiven MCP Server?

The Aiven MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol server for the Aiven cloud data platform. It connects AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and VS Code to your PostgreSQL, Apache Kafka, and other managed data services, so you can manage, query, and monitor infrastructure through natural language.

Features

  • Service management: list projects, create and inspect services, and view plans, pricing, and cloud regions.
  • PostgreSQL: run read-only SQL queries, get query-optimization suggestions, inspect query statistics and extensions, and manage connection pools.
  • Apache Kafka: browse topics, produce and consume messages, manage Kafka Connect connectors, and inspect Schema Registry subjects.
  • Observability: fetch service metrics, service and application logs, live query activity, and project event logs to troubleshoot issues.
  • Integrations: connect Aiven services to each other or to external endpoints such as Datadog, Prometheus, and CloudWatch.
  • Documentation search: search Aiven docs without leaving your assistant.

Security & control

  • Read-only mode: expose only read/query tools by adding ?read_only=true, with an optional write-allowlist to selectively re-enable specific write operations.
  • Scoped tools: narrow the exposed tool surface to just the services you use (pg, kafka, integrations, and more).
  • Permission-bound: every action is governed by the authenticated Aiven user's own permissions; sensitive values like connection strings and tokens are redacted by default.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Aiven remote MCP server?

The Aiven remote MCP server is a hosted Model Context Protocol endpoint at https://mcp.aiven.live/mcp, so AI assistants can connect to it without installing or running anything locally.

How do I connect to the Aiven MCP server?

Add the endpoint https://mcp.aiven.live/mcp to any MCP-compatible client such as Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code. The setup snippets on this page configure each client in one step.

Does the Aiven MCP server require authentication?

Yes. Aiven uses OAuth: the first time you connect, your MCP client opens a browser window to sign in and authorize access, then reuses the credentials for future sessions.

Which transport does the Aiven MCP server use?

Aiven exposes a stdio endpoint, the transport used by remote MCP servers and supported by all major MCP clients.
