Hosting

both: hosted remote service and local stdio package

Transport

Streamable HTTP (hosted); stdio (local)

Endpoint

https://mcp.aiven.live/mcp

Authentication

Hosted service uses Aiven OAuth; user permissions govern access. Read-only mode and tool scopes can narrow tools/list.

Requirements

• Aiven account
• Aiven authorization for hosted mode or API token for local mode
• Node.js 18+ for local package

Setup steps

1. Remote: add https://mcp.aiven.live/mcp in an MCP client that supports remote HTTP servers, then authorize with Aiven.
2. Optional read-only remote mode: append ?read_only=true. Tool scopes can be narrowed with services_scope query parameter.
3. Local: run npx -y mcp-aiven and provide AIVEN_TOKEN through the MCP client’s secure environment configuration.
4. For hosted service, use the marketplace-specific path when subscribed through AWS, Azure or Google Cloud Marketplace.

Current publisher README enumerates 51 named tools. Runtime toolset varies by category scopes and read-only setting; hosted-only docs_search is absent in self-hosted deployments. Service/topic/database/application write tools can change or delete resources and data. Read-only mode excludes write tools.

This server’s available tools can vary by account, permissions, or configuration. The list shown is not its full runtime catalog.

• Aiven actions can create, modify, or delete services and data; read-only mode and write allowlists can restrict writes.
• The available tools depend on selected service scopes and hosted versus self-hosted mode.
• The connection-info tool can expose credentials and is disabled unless AIVEN_ALLOW_SECRETS=true; it is also disabled in read-only mode.

• official repository and tool reference

  Current repository README enumerates 51 named tools, hosted OAuth endpoint, read-only mode, scope-based filtering, access controls, and destructive operation warning.
