Connect Tools with MCP Servers
MCP servers expose tools and data to your agents. Plug in a managed type from the catalog, or build, register, and test a server of your own.
Connect AI agents to your databases, APIs, and business systems through managed MCP servers Redpanda hosts for you, or self-managed servers you register with ADP.
Reference of every managed MCP server type Redpanda hosts in-process, grouped by category, with display name, description, and a link to a setup guide where one exists.
Create an MCP server in the Agentic Data Plane by picking a managed type from the marketplace or registering a self-managed server you host yourself, then configure authentication, code mode, and access.
Front your own MCP server with a managed Redpanda URL. Pick a transport, configure authentication, and let agents discover the server's tools through Redpanda.
Use the Inspector tab to call tools, inspect resources and prompts, and verify your MCP server works without standing up an agent.
Turn on code mode for an MCP server to replace a large tool catalog with two tools, search and execute, and cut the token cost of tool-heavy servers.
