### Resource name

AWS::MSK::ServerlessCluster & AWS::MSK::Cluster

### Description

Creating an `AWS::MSK::ServerlessCluster` in cloudformation can be done like:
```yaml
ServerlessCluster:
Type: AWS::MSK::ServerlessCluster
Properties:
ClusterName: !Sub "${AWS::StackName}-cluster"
ClientAuthentication:
Sasl:
Iam:
Enabled: true
VpcConfigs:
- SecurityGroups:
- !Ref securityGroup
SubnetIds:
- !Ref subnetA
- !Ref subnetB
- !Ref subnetC
```

If you also want to define a `AWS::KafkaConnect::Connector` on that cluster in the same template, the `BootstrapServers` parameter is required like this:
```yaml
MyKafkaConnectConnector:
Type: AWS::KafkaConnect::Connector
Properties:
KafkaCluster:
ApacheKafkaCluster:
BootstrapServers: **BootstrapServers**
Vpc:
SecurityGroups:
- !Ref securityGroup
Subnets:
- !Ref subnetA
- !Ref subnetB
- !Ref subnetC
```

I would propose a new output on the `AWS::MSK::ServerlessCluster` & `AWS::MSK::Cluster` resource called `bootstrapServers` that can be retreived like: !GetAtt ServerlessCluster.bootstrapServers

Research direction

Start by locating the AWS::MSK::ServerlessCluster and AWS::MSK::Cluster resource definitions and how GetAtt outputs are exposed. Review the AWS::KafkaConnect::Connector KafkaCluster.ApacheKafkaCluster.BootstrapServers requirement and compare the expected CloudFormation behavior. Done means both MSK resources expose bootstrapServers through !GetAtt for use by the connector.
