Collecting history — the radar snapshots this repo daily. The trend line appears after 3 days of data (1 so far).
What it is
Kubernetes MCP Server is a Go-based native implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for interacting with Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters. It supports running as a native binary and via package managers, with configuration via CLI, TOML files, and environment variables.
How it works
The project provides a single native binary (Linux, macOS, Windows) and exposes operations on generic Kubernetes resources, Pods (including logs, top metrics, exec, run), Namespaces, Events, and OpenShift Projects. It also includes Helm, Tekton, and Observability features (OpenTelemetry). The server communicates directly with the Kubernetes API server without wrapping kubectl or helm.
Getting started
- The README shows how to run via CLI using various methods:
npx kubernetes-mcp-server@latest --helpuvx kubernetes-mcp-server@latest --help./kubernetes-mcp-server --help
- Configuration options include:
--port,--log-level,--config,--config-dir,--kubeconfig,--list-output,--read-only,--disable-destructive,--stateless,--toolsets,--disable-multi-cluster,--cluster-provider. - TOML configuration is supported with a reference to docs/configuration.md and example showing fields like
log_level,read_only, andtoolsets.
