Install prerequisites (Node.js 22.19.0+) and optionally create a Confluent Cloud account. Generate a config.yaml with npx @confluentinc/mcp-confluent --init-config, edit it with connection details, then run npx @confluentinc/mcp-confluent --config ./config.yaml. Configure your MCP client to point to the server.

}OAuth Authentication for Confluent Cloud
The MCP server can authenticate to Confluent Cloud via OAuth (PKCE) instead of static API keys.
On the first tool call that needs Confluent access, the server opens your browser to the Confluent Cloud sign-in page; subsequent tool calls reuse the resulting session.
No API keys to provision.
Setup
```bash
npx @confluentinc/mcp-confluent --init-oauth-config
