Redpanda Docs MCP server
9 tools · Last check that passed 27 Oct 2026, 01:50 UTC
Redpanda's own remote MCP server for its documentation gives an agent search across Redpanda's documentation and API reference, with a small allowance of calls without a sign-in. Once a day, Stackduke connects to it the way any MCP client would, with no account and no sign-in, and lists its tools. It never runs them.

The tools the server listed at the last check that passed, at its default address and settings, with no sign-in; an account that signs in, or other settings, may see other tools. What a tool is counted as doing is Stackduke's cautious reading of the server's labels, the tool's name and its description: where they disagree it takes whichever says the tool can do most, so it overcounts on purpose. It does not say the server is safe, and it does not list what a tool cannot do. Descriptions are not shown, because they are written for models and may try to steer them.

One email when Redpanda Docs's official MCP server adds, removes or changes tools, with what changed. Nothing else.
What to watch for
- Without a sign-in, an agent gets 10 tool calls every 24 hours, shared with everyone on the same network address. Redpanda's documentation MCP setup
- Its question tool passes queries to an MCP server hosted by Kapa.ai, which sets its own limits. Redpanda's documentation MCP setup
- When you sign in, Redpanda receives your email address and, when available, your organization, and says it may share them with its customer and analytics systems and with Kapa. Redpanda's documentation MCP setup
How to limit it
With Redpanda Docs's own settings, as its documentation describes them. Stackduke has not tested them.
- Signing in is what turns on its feedback tool, so we recommend using it without a sign-in when the agent only needs to read the docs. Redpanda's documentation MCP setup
What Stackduke is designed to do
Stackduke is designed to sit between your agents and their MCP servers: to check each tool call against your rules before it runs, hold the risky ones for a person to approve, and keep a record of what was decided.
It does not yet forward or block tool calls for customers. Today it reads what this server offers and publishes what changes.
