About Kubernetes MCP Server

What is Kubernetes MCP Server: Secure Clusters & Lightning-Fast Scaling?

Kubernetes MCP Server is a robust middleware solution designed to streamline operations for Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters. By leveraging the Model Context Protocol, it enables real-time configuration synchronization and automated resource management, ensuring clusters remain secure while dynamically scaling to meet demand. Its intelligent architecture minimizes manual intervention, making it ideal for DevOps teams seeking reliability and agility in cloud-native environments.

How to use Kubernetes MCP Server: Secure Clusters & Lightning-Fast Scaling?

Implementation begins with configuring the server through simple CLI commands. For developers using Claude Desktop, initiate the service with npx to auto-detect cluster parameters. Enterprise users can integrate via Goose CLI for multi-environment deployments. Adjust scaling thresholds through environment variables and monitor performance via built-in SSE ports for instant feedback.

✨ Features

A powerful and flexible Kubernetes Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation with support for OpenShift.

✅ Configuration :
- Automatically detect changes in the Kubernetes configuration and update the MCP server.
- View and manage the current Kubernetes .kube/config or in-cluster configuration.
✅ Generic Kubernetes Resources : Perform operations on any Kubernetes resource.
- Any CRUD operation (Create or Update, Get, List, Delete).
✅ Pods : Perform Pod-specific operations.
- List pods in all namespaces or in a specific namespace.
- Get a pod by name from the specified namespace.
- Delete a pod by name from the specified namespace.
- Show logs for a pod by name from the specified namespace.
- Run a container image in a pod and optionally expose it.
✅ Events : View Kubernetes events in all namespaces or in a specific namespace.

🚀 Getting Started

Claude Desktop

Using npx

If you have npm installed, this is the fastest way to get started with kubernetes-mcp-server on Claude Desktop.

Open your claude_desktop_config.json and add the mcp server to the list of mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kubernetes": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "kubernetes-mcp-server@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Goose CLI

Goose CLI is the easiest (and cheapest) way to get rolling with artificial intelligence (AI) agents.

Using npm

If you have npm installed, this is the fastest way to get started with kubernetes-mcp-server.

Open your goose config.yaml and add the mcp server to the list of mcpServers:

extensions:
  kubernetes:
    command: npx
    args:
      - -y
      - kubernetes-mcp-server@latest

🎥 Demos

⚙️ Configuration

The Kubernetes MCP server can be configured using command line (CLI) arguments.

You can run the CLI executable either by using npx or by downloading the latest release binary.

# Run the Kubernetes MCP server using npx (in case you have npm installed)
npx kubernetes-mcp-server@latest --help



# Run the Kubernetes MCP server using the latest release binary
./kubernetes-mcp-server --help

Configuration Options

Option	Description
`--sse-port`	Starts the MCP server in Server-Sent Event (SSE) mode and listens on the specified port.

🧑‍💻 Development
