# Broker API reference
The `amqtt.broker.Broker` class provides a complete MQTT 3.1.1 broker implementation. This class allows Python developers to embed a MQTT broker in their own applications.
## Usage example
The following example shows how to start a broker using the default configuration:
```python
--8<-- "samples/broker_simple.py"
```
This will start the broker and let it run until it is shutdown by `^c`.
## Reference
### Broker API
The `amqtt.broker` module provides the following key methods in the `Broker` class:
- `start()`: Starts the broker and begins serving
- `shutdown()`: Gracefully shuts down the broker
### Broker configuration
The `Broker` class's `__init__` method accepts a `config` parameter which allows setup of default and custom behaviors.
Details on the `config` parameter structure is a dictionary whose structure is identical to yaml formatted file[^1]
used by the included broker script: [broker configuration](broker_config.md)
