The Problem: Connecting AI Assistants to Your APIs As AI assistants like Claude and VS Code Copilot become more powerful, developers are discovering a critical bottleneck: these AI tools can’t directly interact with our existing REST APIs. After building Django DRF to MCP converters and Kafka MCP servers, I realized a fundamental challenge: Every API requires custom MCP server implementation. You shouldn’t need to write custom code for every API integration. You shouldn’t have to learn Model Context Protocol’s internals just to connect Claude to your weather API, GitHub API, or internal company APIs. ...

The Problem: Getting Real-time Data into Kafka Have you ever tried to stream Wikipedia changes or other real-time Server-Sent Events (SSE) updates into Kafka? If you have, you probably wrote custom Kafka producer and consumer code to handle these events, managed reconnections, and built your own error handling. There had to be a better way. Introducing the SSE Kafka Connector I’m excited to share my new open-source project: a generic Kafka Connect connector for Server-Sent Events. It lets you stream data from any SSE endpoint straight into Kafka topics—no custom code required. ...
