Simplifying LLM-Kafka Interaction with a Multiplexing MCP Tool
2025-04-21
This post details `kafka-mcp-server`, an LLM interface for Apache Kafka built using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The author found that simple actions often required multiple MCP tool calls, leading to the development of a multiplexing tool. This tool allows for the simultaneous execution of multiple tools, using PROMPT_ARGUMENTs to pass results from earlier tools as arguments to later ones. This simplifies workflows involving sequential tool calls, such as listing Kafka topics, reading messages, and creating topic duplicates. Future plans include adding Lua interpretation and branching logic for enhanced functionality.
