Kubernetes MCP Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Run kubectl-style operations (get, describe, apply, delete, logs) against a configured Kubernetes cluster programmatically.

• 2

  Perform Helm operations (install, upgrade, template-based apply/uninstall) or manage deployments, rollouts, and scaling via an MCP interface.

• 3

  Guided troubleshooting (k8s-diagnose), port forwarding, pod cleanup, and node maintenance while optionally enforcing a non-destructive/read-only mode.

Description

This MCP server provides a unified interface for managing Kubernetes clusters via kubectl and Helm commands, supporting actions like get/describe/apply/delete, logs, port-forwarding, scaling, rollouts, and node maintenance. It can load kubeconfig from multiple sources, mask secrets in outputs, and offers advanced features such as pod cleanup, Helm template-based installs/uninstalls, and a guided k8s-diagnose troubleshooting prompt. It includes a non-destructive mode to disable destructive operations for safer read-only or limited-write workflows. The server is distributed as an npm/Bun package and integrates with Claude, VS Code, Cursor, and mcp-chat clients.
