Integrating a MQTT broker inside server

I am learning about MQTT brokers, and I have got a question I cannot answer. Is it possible integrate a MQTT broker inside a server that acts as a client in a client/server architecture? - The reason I would need that is in case that this client retrieves data from an API.

I have tried to depict what I mean. If it is not possible, how would one approach it then, in case the data from the API is needed?

There no reason for the broker to be part of the client.

The client receives the data and then publishes it as a message to a separate broker where subscribers receive the message. There is no benefit to combing the two.

Building adapters like this is common practice (it's one of the reasons tools like Node-RED were created)
