### Description (declared)

# 🌊🔍 Lenses MCP Server for Apache Kafka 🔎🌊

This is the [Lenses](https://lenses.io/) MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Apache Kafka. Lenses offers a developer experience solution for engineers building real-time applications connected to Kafka. It's built for the enterprise and backed by a powerful IAM and governance model. 

With Lenses, you can find, explore, transform, integrate and replicate data across a multi-Kafka and vendor estate. Now, all this power is accessible through your AI Assistant or Agent via this Lenses MCP Server for Kafka.

[See it explained and in action](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8bSLyRnMAk) whilst walking through the streets of New York city!

Try it today with the free [Lenses Community Edition](https://lenses.io/community-edition/) (restricted by number of users and enterprise features). Lenses CE comes with a pre-configured single broker Kafka cluster, ideal for local development or demonstration. Connect up to two of your own Kafka clusters and then use natural language to interact with your streaming data.
