# Aiven MCP for AI Agents AI Agent Connect > Aiven lets you manage your cloud infrastructure and managed databases directly from your AI agent. You can provision services like PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Kafka, manage VPCs, and handle billing or team access without switching tabs. ## Overview - **Category:** databases - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_CfNajimqQ1NRlnr9ePOIEKS40qntMEXiKdFcHEYa/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** managed-databases, postgresql, kafka, cloud-services, infrastructure-management ## Description Aiven lets you manage your open-source data infrastructure through a chat interface. Instead of hunting through a complex cloud console to spin up a new PostgreSQL instance or checking your latest invoice, you just tell your AI agent what to do. You can handle everything from high-level project organization to granular service configurations. For example, you can create a project, set up a VPC for security, and deploy a Kafka cluster in a single conversation. This moves the heavy lifting of infrastructure management into your chat window. This MCP connects your Aiven account to your preferred AI client, making it a core part of your daily workflow. When you use it through the Vinkius catalog, you stop treating infrastructure as a series of manual clicks. You can check the status of your Redis cache, update your billing groups, or invite new team members to an organization without ever opening a new browser tab. It turns your AI agent into a capable DevOps assistant that understands your specific cloud environment. You can quickly audit your costs, manage permissions, and ensure your databases are running exactly how you need them to be. It is about getting the work done faster by speaking to your data rather than clicking through menus. ## Tools ### add_card Add a credit card for your user account.

They ask the agent to create a service for the project, and it handles the configuration and deployment automatically. This lets them focus on code instead of cloud settings. ### Automated team onboarding An SRE needs to audit permissions for a new team. They ask the agent to list_account_teams and then invite users to the organization. This handles the onboarding process in seconds without opening the Aiven console. ### Billing history audit A project lead wants to see the cost of a specific project. They ask the agent to list_billing_group_invoices for the relevant group. This provides a clear summary of spending history for the department in one conversation. ### Real-time service status A backend engineer needs to check connection details for a production database. They ask the agent to get_service to see the status. This provides the connection strings and health info without switching tabs. ## Benefits - Deploy databases like PostgreSQL or Kafka instantly using create_service to skip the manual setup process. - Secure your data by creating private networks with create_project_vpc to ensure isolation. - Keep your costs organized by using create_billing_group to allocate expenses across different projects. - Speed up onboarding by using invite_organization_user to grant team access in seconds. - Monitor your spending history by using list_billing_group_invoices to see every charge over time. ## How It Works The bottom line is you get a conversational command center for your cloud infrastructure. 1.
