FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a Confluent Cloud API Key?

Log in to your Confluent Cloud dashboard. Go to Cloud API Keys under the administration menu. Click Add key, select the scope, and copy both the API Key and Secret.

What is an Environment in Confluent?

An Environment is a logical boundary containing clusters, schema registries, and connectors. You often need the Environment ID when querying specific resources.

Can the agent consume messages directly?

This integration focuses on control-plane tasks: managing topics, monitoring cluster status, and listing connectors. Direct message consumption from streams is not supported.

How does Cline connect to MCP servers?

Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
