Strimzi Kafka Cli

Overview

Strimzi Kafka Cli is a Model Context Protocol server that lets you manage Apache Kafka on Kubernetes via Strimzi. It handles clusters, topics, users, connectors, and MirrorMaker 2 operations through a unified interface. Because it speaks MCP, AI assistants can call these tools directly instead of requiring manual context switching between applications.

The server runs locally as a Python package installed via uvx strimzi-kafka-cli. It communicates with your MCP client over stdio and requires no authentication to get started. The latest release is v1.0.0b11, distributed under the Apache-2.0 license with source code available at SystemCraftsman/strimzi-kafka-cli on GitHub, where the project has earned 91 stars.

Strimzi Kafka Cli appears in the Cloud Service category on mcp.site and works with any MCP client including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, you can claim the listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
