Zero EMQX — The Zero-Friction MQTT Broker for AI Agents

Why Zero EMQX

Zero-Friction

One POST, one curl, working credentials in milliseconds. No accounts, no console, no waiting.

Multi-Tenant

Each call returns an isolated EMQX namespace with its own client credentials and quotas.

Disposable

Tenants auto-expire by TTL and are reaped server-side. Throw-away environments by default.

MQTT-Native

Full MQTT 5 over TLS (8883) and WSS (8084), backed by EMQX 6.

Quickstart

Point your agent at the skill, or run the curl flow yourself. Tenants live for the configured TTL, then disappear.

Tell your agent

Use the agent skill at https://zero-emqx-manager.dev-ala.aws.mpaas.mqttce.net/SKILL.md to provision a disposable MQTT tenant and publish a hello message.

Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, or any tool-using agent. The skill at /SKILL.md documents the full POST /v1/instances API; your agent reads it and proceeds without further setup.

Or fetch the skill directly

curl -sS https://zero-emqx-manager.dev-ala.aws.mpaas.mqttce.net/SKILL.md

Pipe into any agent harness that ingests markdown skills.

Provision a tenant

curl -sS -X POST https://zero-emqx-manager.dev-ala.aws.mpaas.mqttce.net/v1/instances

Returns 201 Created with credentials.username, credentials.password, mqtts.host, wss.host, and expires_at.

Extract credentials into shell variables

eval "$(curl -sS -X POST https://zero-emqx-manager.dev-ala.aws.mpaas.mqttce.net/v1/instances | jq -r '
@sh "export INSTANCE_ID=\(.instance_id)
MQTT_PASSWORD=\(.credentials.password)
MQTTS_HOST=\(.mqtts.host)"')"

Sets $INSTANCE_ID, $MQTT_PASSWORD, and $MQTTS_HOST in your current shell.

Publish a message

mqttx pub \
  -h "$MQTTS_HOST" -p 8883 -l mqtts \
  -u "$INSTANCE_ID" -P "$MQTT_PASSWORD" \
  -t demo/topic -m hello

Topics are bare names; EMQX scopes them to your tenant via namespace_as_mountpoint.
