Trust breakdown
Verification mix: 13 community. No evidence gaps: every claim on file matches the record. Read how verification works — nothing here is independently audited yet, and the site says so everywhere it matters.
Security posture
Flagged entries: Kafka MCP Server (2), Kafka Consumer Lag Triage (3), Kafka Troubleshooter (2), Kafka consumer lagging (3), Kafka Console (3). Flags record declared capabilities (credentials, write access, network calls) — they are facts to review, not verdicts. Every entry also passes the 30-rule static trust scan; findings print on each detail page.
How to choose
How to choose: start with Inspect Kafka topics and groups with the Kafka MCP server, Troubleshoot a lagging group with the Kafka Troubleshooter for the gentlest on-ramp; defer Kafka MCP Server, Kafka Consumer Lag Triage until you have production context. Weight verification and evidence over score when two entries are close, and check the last-verified date on each page — the registry re-checks every 180 days.
