What the code does

We read the source, 11 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Dumps the whole environment src/index.ts:40
  const names = Object.keys(process.env).sort();

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Endpoint below is the one we actually reach during checks — not the one copied from a README. Last verified 4 min ago.

run in your terminal

    }

}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: AIVEN_TOKEN (Aiven API token (create one at https://console.aiven.io/profile/tokens)), AIVEN_READ_ONLY (Set to true to expose only read-only tools), AIVEN_SERVICES_SCOPE (Comma-separated scopes to expose (e.g. pg, kafka, pg,kafka, or all). Valid: all, core, pg, kafka, application, integrations.), AIVEN_ALLOW_SECRETS (Set to true to let the connection-info tool return live credentials instead of [REDACTED].). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, but it did not say what kind of credentials it expects.

Aiven MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Aiven MCP?
The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 97.8% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.
Is Aiven MCP working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 89 of 91 checks got a reply (97.8%), average response time 524 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Aiven MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You will need your own credentials: it refuses anonymous clients.
Does Aiven MCP need an API key?
Yes. Every time we knock, Aiven MCP answers with an authorization challenge instead of its tool list — that is how we know it is running and gated rather than broken. Bring your own credentials and it will talk.
How fast is Aiven MCP?
It answers our handshake in 524 ms on average, which is faster than 29% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Aiven MCP?
The npm package mcp-aiven was installed 103 times in the last week. Week over week that is -65%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Aiven MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in TypeScript, 28 stars on GitHub and 2 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
