# Aiven MCP — AI Connector Aiven MCP publishes 52 MCP tools to Claude and is listed in the ChatGPT apps directory. Marketplace availability, tool surface, verification tier, and what Node8 measured against the live endpoint. Source: https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/developer-tools/aiven/ --- [AI Connectors](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/) · [Developer Tools](https://node8.ai/ai-connectors/developer-tools/) # Aiven MCP Provision and manage Aiven data services Listed in ChatGPT and Claude · 52 published tools · Community-listed [ChatGPT listing](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/aiven?open_in_app) [Claude connector docs](https://aiven.io/docs/tools/mcp-server) [aiven.io](https://aiven.io/) Overview ## What Aiven MCP does Aiven publishes this plugin for its own managed data platform. It handles both provisioning and day-to-day administration of PostgreSQL, Kafka, and the other services the company hosts, from inside an AI assistant. The Aiven MCP Server is included. Through it the plugin reaches projects, services, and databases, Kafka topics and connector configuration, PostgreSQL query execution, service integrations, and application deployment. The record names PostgreSQL and Kafka specifically and refers to further data services without listing them, so what is reachable in practice depends on which services an account already runs. ### Who it is for Platform and data engineers who already run services on Aiven and want to operate them conversationally. ### What stands out The plugin comes from Aiven itself and wraps the company's own MCP server rather than a third-party API layer. Availability ## Where Aiven MCP is listed Aiven ships this on both marketplaces: Aiven MCP is listed in the Claude connectors directory and in the ChatGPT apps directory, under the same publisher domain. Only 392 of the 3,150 products in this directory are listed in both marketplaces. One MCP server can serve both surfaces; what differs is each platform's listing and review process. ChatGPT listing ## In the ChatGPT apps directory Developer Aiven Oy Filed under Developer Tools Listed since June 2026 Authentication Authenticates when installed Website [aiven.io](https://aiven.io/) Policies published Privacy policy · Terms of service Official listing [Open in ChatGPT](https://chatgpt.com/plugins/aiven?open_in_app) Snapshot August 2026 Claude listing ## In the Claude connectors directory Aiven MCP publishes 52 tools to Claude, a deeper surface than 91% of the 1,253 Claude-listed connectors, the top decile. The median Claude-listed connector filed under Developer Tools publishes 13, so this one runs 39 tools above its bucket's median and ranks 11th of 95 by tool count. It falls in the 51+ tools band, which holds 9.6% of the Claude directory. Aiven MCP publishes a remote MCP endpoint. Claude connects to it over HTTP; there is nothing to install locally. Every connector in the Claude directory is remote, all 1,253 of them, so transport is not a differentiator there. Publisher Aiven Verification Community-listed (61.5% of the Claude directory) Filed under Developer Tools Endpoint `https://mcp.aiven.live/mcp` Documentation [Publisher setup docs](https://aiven.io/docs/tools/mcp-server) Published tools 52 · 51+ tools band Depth rank in Developer Tools 11 of 95 Snapshot August 2026 Aiven MCP is community-listed in the Claude directory, the tier 770 of 1,253 connectors sit in (61.5%). It is the default for a self-published server, and says nothing either way about quality. In the publisher's words ## How Aiven describes it > Manage your Aiven cloud data platform in plain language. The Aiven MCP connects Claude to your fully managed PostgreSQL, Apache Kafka, and application infrastructure, so you can provision, query, and operate services through conversation instead of the console or CLI. Managed PostgreSQL: Provision and configure Postgres services, run read and write SQL, manage PgBouncer connection pooling, inspect pg\_stat query statistics, and tune slow queries with AI-powered query optimization. Apache Kafka & streaming: Create and manage topics, produce and consume messages, set up Kafka Connect source and sink connectors, and browse Schema Registry subjects, full event-streaming workflows from a chat. Application deployment: Deploy your Dockerized apps to Aiven directly from your connected GitHub repositories, and rebuild or redeploy in a single request. Observability & operations: Fetch service and application metrics, stream service logs, view live query activity and project event logs, and power services on or off across your projects, clouds, and VPCs. Documentation search: Query the official Aiven documentation in natural language, without leaving Claude. Built for safe, scoped access: - Read-only mode exposes only non-destructive tools. - Service scoping limits the toolset to PostgreSQL, Kafka, applications, or integrations. - Connection credentials are redacted by default. Quoted from the connector's own Claude directory listing as captured in August 2026. Node8 did not write it and does not vouch for it.
