✨ 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/configor 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

⚙️ 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
Running with mcp-inspector
Compile the project and run the Kubernetes MCP server with mcp-inspector to inspect the MCP server.
# Compile the project
