How do I connect Claude Code to MQTT with JustinX?

Grab free API key. Add to mcp_servers.json. npm install @livetap/client. Prompt: "Connect mqtt://yourbroker:1883 topic#". AI generates LiveTap code.

Does JustinX work with Kafka and Cursor AI?

Yep. SASL/SSL Kafka topics via MCP. Cursor, Cline, Continue.dev—all MCP-compatible. Sub-second latency, Redis buffer.

Free tier: 3 watchers, 5min buffer, basics. Pro/enterprise for scale, longer retention, 100K+ msgs/sec.
