Managed MQTT broker

# A production MQTT broker, without the operations

ConnectMQ gives every team a private MQTT broker with encryption and access control built in — plus a live dashboard, rules, alerts and a 3D digital twin to put the data to work.

[Try it free](https://app.connectmq.com/signup) [Quickstart](https://connectmq.com/developers/)

No card required

## Operated for you

Installation, upgrades and the day-to-day running of the broker are handled by ConnectMQ.

## Isolated instances

Your broker is yours alone — no shared topic space with other customers.

## MQTT 3.1.1 and MQTT 5

Use classic MQTT 3.1.1 clients and MQTT 5 features such as reason codes and user properties.

## Four transports

Plain TCP, TLS, WebSockets and secure WebSockets — for firmware, services and browsers.

## Authentication

Username and password credentials for every device, service and application.

## Per-topic access control

Decide exactly which client may publish or subscribe to which topics.

## Encrypted in transit

TLS on the MQTT and WebSocket listeners keeps credentials and payloads private.

## Browser ready

Secure WebSockets let dashboards and web apps talk MQTT directly — no extra proxy.

## More than a broker

### Start shared, then go private

Try the public shared endpoint at `broker.connectmq.com` with any MQTT client, then point the same code at your private broker.

Security

## Secure by default, not by configuration

TLS, authentication and per-topic permissions are part of every ConnectMQ broker — not a weekend of config-file editing.

## Platform FAQ

What does "managed MQTT broker" mean?

ConnectMQ runs the broker software for you. You do not install, configure, patch or monitor a server — you connect your clients to the endpoint and credentials you receive.

Is my broker shared with other customers?

No. ConnectMQ provides private, isolated broker instances, so other customers cannot see or publish to your topics.

Can browser applications connect directly?

Yes. ConnectMQ exposes MQTT over secure WebSockets (wss), which is what browser MQTT clients such as MQTT.js use.

## Your private MQTT broker is a few clicks away

Create an account, get your broker credentials and connect your first device — no servers to install, patch or scale.
