Alginte 0.6.0 Beta
Released 2026-07-29.
Alginte is in beta (0.x): configuration keys, the topology export format, and APIs may change between releases; breaking changes are called out in release notes with migration guidance.
Connect AI agents — the built-in MCP server
Alginte now ships a Model Context Protocol server: point Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or any MCP client at your instance and ask questions about your cluster in plain language — the agent answers through 18 read-only tools over the same service layer the UI uses. Topics, configs, per-partition offsets, consumer-group lag, connectors, schemas, deployed Streams topologies, and bounded message sampling that never joins a consumer group or commits anything.
claude mcp add --transport http alginte http://localhost:8888/mcp
The endpoint is Streamable HTTP at /mcp on the regular
application port — nothing extra to run or expose, and with the optional
login enabled it requires the same credentials over HTTP Basic. Read-only by
design: nothing on the MCP surface can create, delete, or modify anything.
Setup, the full tool table, and security notes:

Housekeeping
- Stream-definition files downloaded from the builder now carry a format version, so files you export today keep importing cleanly across future releases (older exports remain valid as version 1).
- Release gate extended: every published image is cold-start smoke-tested — including the MCP handshake — against Apache Kafka 4.x, 3.x, and Redpanda.
