Run Mosquitto in Even

Even Stacks launches Mosquitto 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 Mosquitto in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 1883, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://mosquitto.localhost.

Drive Mosquitto with your AI agents

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

Through the Even MCP an agent can open the editor in Even's browser and build a workflow step by step. 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 Mosquitto and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: No web UI. Publish via docker exec: mosquitto_pub -t {topic} -m {message}. Subscribe via: mosquitto_sub -t {topic}. Broker listens on port 1883 (MQTT) and 9001 (WebSocket if enabled). Config is at /mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf.
