The Remote StreamNative MCP Server provides a hosted Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint at https://mcp.streamnative.cloud. It is built on the open-source StreamNative MCP Server and offered as a preview service so you can consume managed tools without running infrastructure.

​
Instant access from your IDE

  • Launch tooling with a single click in supported editors such as VS Code—no local binaries or runtimes required.
  • Paste the hosted URL into any MCP-compatible client to reuse the same catalog across teams and environments.
  • Share connections through workspace templates so new collaborators adopt a consistent tool set.

​
Why use the remote server

  • Skip local installation and upgrades—the managed endpoint stays current with the latest StreamNative MCP capabilities.
  • Connect from IDEs such as VS Code with a single click or point any MCP-compatible runtime to the hosted URL.
  • Authenticate with the same StreamNative Cloud credentials you already use for agent deployments.

​
StreamNative Cloud integration

The managed server authenticates against StreamNative Cloud and understands your organization context. After you sign in, you can:
  • Browse and switch between clusters that belong to your organization.
  • Inspect the status of cluster resources through natural language prompts.
  • Interact with StreamNative services using your existing service accounts and permission model.

​
Platform support

The Remote StreamNative MCP Server exposes tools for both Apache Kafka and Apache Pulsar workloads.
  • Apache Kafka — manage topics, partitions, consumer groups, schema registry artifacts, Kafka Connect deployments (preview), and run client operations such as producing and consuming messages.
  • Apache Pulsar — administer tenants, namespaces, topics, and schemas; run client operations; and manage Functions, Sources, and Sinks in read-only mode.
  • Orca integrations — surface Pulsar Functions and Orca agents as MCP tools so downstream agents can invoke them directly.

​
Always current and managed

  • StreamNative operates the service so you automatically receive server updates, new tools, and security patches.
  • The remote environment mirrors the latest StreamNative Cloud features, keeping documentation and runtime behavior aligned.
  • Preview status means feedback can shape the roadmap—share requests through support channels to influence future releases.

​
Security and authorization

  • OAuth 2.1 authorization flows align with the evolving MCP authorization specification, allowing interactive sign-in from IDEs and browsers.
  • StreamNative Cloud service account API keys offer non-interactive access for automated clients.
  • The server is multi-tenant aware and scopes tool discovery to the resources your identity can access.

​
Getting started

  1. Visit https://mcp.streamnative.cloud and sign in with StreamNative Cloud credentials or supply a service account key.
  2. When using VS Code, install the StreamNative MCP extension and paste the hosted endpoint URL to establish the connection.
  3. For other MCP-compatible runtimes, configure the remote endpoint in the same way you would add any MCP server and complete the OAuth or API key authentication step.
Once connected, your IDE or agent runtime receives Server-Sent Events (SSE) notifications whenever StreamNative adds or updates tools, keeping the catalog in sync without manual refreshes.
