Rpk Cloud

Authenticate and manage Redpanda Cloud from the CLI using the `rpk cloud` command group. Covers login (SSO browser flow and client credentials), logout, cloud auth management (list/use/delete/token), cluster selection (rpk cloud cluster select), resource group management, BYOC plugin provisioning (install/apply/destroy/validate), and the MCP server (stdio/install/proxy) that exposes Redpanda Cloud to AI agents. Use when: logging in to Redpanda Cloud with SSO or --client-id/--client-secret; setting RPK_CLOUD_CLIENT_ID or RPK_CLOUD_CLIENT_SECRET; creating or switching an rpk profile that points at a Cloud cluster; running rpk cloud cluster select; managing resource groups in Redpanda Cloud; running rpk cloud byoc apply or rpk cloud byoc install; configuring the rpk MCP server for Claude Desktop or Claude Code; running rpk cloud mcp stdio or rpk cloud mcp install; printing the current auth token with rpk cloud auth token; listing or switching cloud auths across multiple Redpanda Cloud organizations. Also covers the enterprise data features you drive against a Cloud cluster after cluster select: Tiered Storage Mountable Topics (rpk cluster storage mount/unmount/list-mountable), Iceberg Topics (redpanda.iceberg.mode/delete/partition.spec/target.lag.ms/ invalid.record.action and iceberg_enabled), Cloud Topics (redpanda.cloud_topic.enabled / redpanda.storage.mode), Tiered Storage topic-level retention (redpanda.remote.read/write/delete), and RBAC/IAM (control-plane roles and role bindings, data-plane SecurityService). Use when: mounting or unmounting Cloud topics from object storage; enabling Iceberg or Cloud Topics on a Redpanda Cloud cluster; managing Cloud RBAC roles, role bindings, or service accounts. These are Redpanda Enterprise features, licensed by the managed Cloud platform.
