Run NATS in Even

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

Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
Find NATS in the one-click services and click Launch.
Even pulls the image, starts it on port 4222, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://nats.localhost.

Drive NATS with your AI agents

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

Through the Even MCP an agent can run commands inside it, drive its UI in the browser pane, and read its logs. 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 NATS and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Clients connect on port 4222 for pub/sub messaging; inspect server stats via the HTTP monitoring API at http://localhost:8222/varz. Use `docker exec <container> nats pub <subject> <payload>` for ad hoc publishing if nats-cli is bundled. JetStream enables persistence.
