Nope, I think that we don't plan to officially support the "embedded" 
variant of Keycloak server. The preferred way is to use our distribution.

However there is nothing, which prevents you to use it in your project 
though. KeycloakServer is just a helper, which allows to run keycloak 
auth-server deployed on undertow. You can likely fork some code you need 
from it and use it in your own project. Just make sure that some 
functionalities, which require real Wildfly server won't work. For 
example JTA, provider deployers, datasources etc.

In shortcut: you can use it, but it's not officially recommended and 
supported distribution.
