| |
| You can instantiate a Client object using just a URL for the target Pulsar [cluster](pathname:///docs/reference-terminology#cluster) like this: |
| |
| ```cpp |
| Client client("pulsar://localhost:6650"); |
| ``` |
| |
| :::note |
| |
| If you run a cluster in [standalone mode](pathname:///docs/getting-started-standalone), the broker is available at the `pulsar://localhost:6650` URL by default. |
