Agentic Data Plane

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.

  • How MCP Servers Work

    Connect AI agents to your databases, APIs, and business systems through managed MCP servers Redpanda hosts, or self-managed servers you register.

  • Plug in an App, Database, or Tool

    Reference of every managed MCP server type Redpanda hosts, grouped by category, with descriptions and links to setup guides.

  • Create an MCP Server

    Create an MCP server. Pick a managed type from the marketplace or register one you host, then configure authentication, code mode, and access.

  • Register a Self-Managed MCP Server

    Front your own MCP server with a managed Redpanda URL. Pick a transport, configure authentication, and let agents discover its tools.

  • Test an MCP Server’s Tools with the Inspector

    Use the Inspector tab to call tools, inspect resources and prompts, and verify your MCP server works without standing up an agent.

  • Shape Tool Data with Data Policies

    Add data policies to an MCP server to mask, drop, or filter tool data, restrict argument values, and preview the effect before saving.

  • Code Mode

    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.
