Building with Kafka, MCP, and event-driven systems. Sharing what I learn.

Problem: Operating Kafka (topics, consumers, produce/consume, cluster checks) usually means hopping between CLIs, consoles, and runbooks — awkward for AI-assisted ops.

What it is: An MCP server that exposes Kafka cluster operations as tools assistants can call directly — explore topics, work with consumers, and produce/consume without leaving the chat.

Why it matters: Brings natural-language and agent workflows to day-to-day Kafka operations; useful for demos, support, and AI-ops experiments on real clusters.
