Run Consul in Even

Even Stacks launches Consul as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find Consul in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 8500, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://consul.localhost.

Drive Consul with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate Consul directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can create tables, seed test data, run a migration, or inspect a schema, then tail the logs to confirm it worked. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up Consul and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Browse services and the KV store in the web UI at http://localhost:8500. Register services via HTTP API: PUT /v1/agent/service/register. Read or write config keys at GET/PUT /v1/kv/{key}. Data lives in /consul/data.
