Redpanda MCP: Redpanda docs and API references in your editor

Redpanda's MCP server answers questions from the Redpanda documentation and searches its API references, so your AI app works from Redpanda's own docs while you build on its streaming platform. ContextGate connects it to Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, and records each docs lookup in Activity next to your team's other calls.
