reference glossary status checking was this helpful thumb_up thumb_down thanks for your feedback home data platform cloud develop cloud management mcp server configure the redpanda cloud management mcp server cloud beta page options copy as markdown copied view as plain text ask ai about this topic add mcp server to vs code configure the redpanda cloud management mcp server after installing the redpanda cloud management mcp server you can configure it for different ai clients customize security settings and troubleshoot common issues after reading this page you will be able to configure mcp clients enable delete operations safely troubleshoot common configuration issues prerequisites at least version 25 2 3 of rpk installed on your local machine access to a redpanda cloud account an mcp compatible ai client such as claude claude code or another tool that supports mcp the mcp server exposes redpanda cloud api endpoints for both the control plane and the data plane available endpoints depend on your rpk version keep rpk updated to access new redpanda cloud features through the mcp server new mcp endpoints are documented in redpanda release notes install the integration for claude or claude code for some supported clients you can install and configure the mcp integration using the rpk cloud mcp install command for claude and claude code run one of these commands choose one rpk cloud mcp install client claude rpk cloud mcp install client claude code if you need to update the integration re run the install command for your client configure other mcp clients manually if you re using another mcp compatible client manually configure it to use the redpanda cloud management mcp server follow these steps add an mcp server entry to your client s configuration example shown in json adjust paths for your system mcpservers redpandacloud command rpk args config path to rpk yaml 1 cloud mcp stdio 1 optional the config flag lets you target a specific rpk yaml which contains the configuration for connecting to your cluster always use the same configuration path as you used for rpk cloud login to ensure it has your token default paths vary by operating system see the rpk cloud login reference for the default paths you can also start the server manually in a terminal to observe logs and troubleshoot enable delete operations the server disables destructive operations by default to allow delete operations add allow delete to the mcp server invocation enabling delete operations permits actions like deleting topics or clusters restrict access to your ai client and double check prompts auto configured clients manual configuration example choose one rpk cloud mcp install client claude allow delete rpk cloud mcp install client claude code allow delete mcpservers redpandacloud command rpk args cloud mcp stdio allow delete specify configuration file paths all rpk commands accept a config flag which lets you specify the exact rpk yaml configuration file to use for connecting to your redpanda cluster this flag overrides the default search path and ensures that the command uses the credentials and settings from the file you provide always use the same configuration path for both rpk cloud login and any mcp server setup or install commands to avoid authentication issues by default rpk searches for config files in standard locations depending on your operating system see the reference documentation for details use an absolute path and make sure your user has read and write permissions the rpk configuration file contains your redpanda cloud token keep the file secure and never share it for example if you want to use a custom config path specify it for both login and the mcp install command rpk cloud login config users user my rpk config yaml rpk cloud mcp install client claude config users user my rpk config yaml or for claude code rpk cloud login config users user my rpk config yaml rpk cloud mcp install client claude code config users user my rpk config yaml remove the mcp server to remove the mcp server delete or disable the mcpservers redpandacloud entry in your client s config steps vary by client security considerations avoid enabling allow delete unless required for most local use cases such as with claude or claude code log in with your personal redpanda cloud user account for better security and easier management if you are deploying the mcp server as part of an application or shared environment consider using a service account with tailored roles to log in as a service account use rpk cloud login client id service account client id client secret service account client secret save regularly review and rotate your credentials troubleshooting verify your installation make sure you are using at least version 25 2 3 of rpk if you see authentication errors run rpk cloud login again ensure you installed for the right client rpk cloud mcp install client claude or rpk cloud mcp install client claude code if using another mcp client verify your mcpservers redpandacloud entry paths json syntax and args order start the server manually using the rpk cloud mcp stdio command one time login...
