Confluent Cloud
Add Confluent Cloud to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a Confluent Cloud integration so your customers can produce to and consume from their own Kafka topics from inside your product, with access scoped per tenant and every call audited. Sends are deduplicated per event where the topic supports it, so a retry does not publish duplicate work.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers produce messages to their own topics from your product.
Consume messages so your product reacts to their existing event streams.
Read topic and cluster metadata so your product adapts to each deployment.
Trigger your product when messages land on a watched topic.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent publishes an event within governed permissions.
An agent reads recent messages from a topic to answer a question.
An agent reacts to a stream event and runs the next workflow step.
Example prompt
Show topics with consumer lag above threshold and the consumer group responsible for each.
Set up Confluent Cloud in 4 steps
- 01Open the Confluent Cloud connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authenticate their Confluent Cloud cluster.
- 03Map the topics your product produces to or consumes from, then enable actions and triggers.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the Confluent Cloud integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Confluent Cloud integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Confluent Cloud account inside your product and work their topics, streams and messages there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: ordering and replay are the whole problem: a consumer that falls behind must be able to resume without losing or double-processing. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Confluent Cloud update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Confluent Cloud connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you move events between your product and your customers' systems without either side polling without wiring it twice.

Confluent Cloud integration FAQ
How do I add a Confluent Cloud integration to my product?
Enable the Confluent Cloud connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Confluent Cloud account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Confluent Cloud client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Confluent Cloud account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Confluent Cloud account and only ever sees their own topics, streams and messages. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Confluent Cloud integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent publishes an event within governed permissions.
Who maintains the Confluent Cloud integration?
fastn does. When Confluent Cloud changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Can my product replay Confluent Cloud messages after an outage?
Yes, within the retention the customer's own Confluent Cloud setup keeps. Consumer position is tracked per tenant, so a consumer that falls behind resumes from where it stopped rather than skipping ahead or starting over, which is the difference between a gap in your data and a duplicate in it.
How is one customer's stream kept separate from another's?
Each customer authorises their own Confluent Cloud connection, so topics, credentials and consumer positions are theirs alone. That matters more here than in most integrations, because a misrouted message is delivered before anyone can review it.
What can I build with the Confluent Cloud integration?
A common starting point: produce messages to their own topics from your product. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Confluent Cloud integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Confluent Cloud does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
