EventCatalog MCP Server
remote-capable server
The server can be hosted and run remotely because it primarily relies on remote services or has no dependency on the local environment.
Integrations
Connects to EventCatalog instances that document Kafka-based architectures, enabling queries about event schemas, producers, consumers, and message flows
Integrates with Windsurf (Codeium's tool) to provide developers access to EventCatalog documentation, schemas, and architecture information directly in their development environment
Features
- 🤖 Connect to any MCP Client (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, etc)
- 🤖 Run MCP server locally on your machine with one command
- 🤖 Connect to your EventCatalog instances
- 🤖 Ask questions about your architectures
- 🤖 Ask questions about your OpenAPI and AsyncAPI specifications
- 🤖 Ask about domains, services and messages, and much more
- 🤖 Get the schemas for events, queries, commands and services (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, JSON Schema)
Using AI to get more value from EventCatalog
EventCatalog is an Open Source tool that helps you document your event-driven architecture. Using EventCatalog you can document your domains, services and messages, schemas and much more.
EventCatalog will visualize your architecture for you all, provide the ability to add semantic meaning for stakeholders, host your OpenPAI and AsyncAPI specifications and integrate with any broker in the world.
Using the EventCatalog MCP Server you can get more value from your EventCatalog by asking questions about your architecture in the tools you already use.
- Developers can integrate the MCP server with MCP supported IDES (e.g Cursor, Windsurf)
- Stakeholders can ask questions about your architecture in the tools they use (e.g Claude)
- If you are using tools that do not support the MCP protocol, you can still use the
llms.txt
standard to integrate with other LLLM tools (e.g Gemini, GPT-4)
Getting Started
Installation
First, you need to enable the LLMS.txt
feature in your EventCatalog instance.
- Enable the
LLMS.txt
feature in your EventCatalog instance, by configuring youreventcatalog.config.js
file. - Deploy your EventCatalog instance with the
LLMS.txt
feature enabled.
Setup MCP Clients
Each MCP client has a different way of adding the MCP server.
You can find some helpful links below to get started.
Adding the MCP server to Claude Desktop
To use this with Claude Desktop, add the following to your claud_desktop_config.json
file. The full path on MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claud_desktop_config.json
, on Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claud_desktop_config.json
Adding the MCP server to Cursor
Go to Cursor Settings -> MCP Servers -> Add MCP Server.
- Name:
eventcatalog
- Command:
npx
- Args:
-y @eventcatalog/mcp-server {URL_TO_YOUR_EVENTCATALOG_INSTANCE}
Configuration for your project
You can also create .mcp.json
files in your project to configure the MCP server for your project using Cursor.
You can read more about configuration for your project in the Cursor documentation.

We are working on adding more APIs to the MCP server. If you need something specific, please open an issue and we will add it to the server.
TODO
Some ideas for the MCP server, feel free to add to the list!
- Add support for private hosted EventCatalog instances
- We make fetch requests to EventCatalog instances, let the user specify custom headers or auth params we can add onto each request.
- Add prompts / tools to write to EventCatalog, if we get interest from the community
- Add support to get teams and users
- Add support to get flows from EventCatalog
Contributing
- Clone the repository
- Run
pnpm install
