This project provides a native Go implementation of a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Kubernetes and OpenShift. It enables AI agents and development tools to interact with Kubernetes resources via a standardized protocol, offering direct API access for high performance and low latency without relying on external CLI tools like kubectl or helm.

How It Works

The server directly interfaces with the Kubernetes API server using Go, bypassing the overhead of command-line wrappers. This approach ensures higher performance and a reduced dependency footprint. It supports various operations including CRUD for generic Kubernetes resources, pod-specific actions (logs, exec, resource usage), namespace management, event viewing, OpenShift project listing, and Helm chart operations.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Install/Run: npx kubernetes-mcp-server@latest or download native binaries.
• Prerequisites: Access to a Kubernetes cluster. Integration with VS Code and Claude Desktop is also detailed.
• Links: Features, Getting Started, Demos

Highlighted Details

• Native Go implementation, avoiding kubectl/helm wrappers.

• Available as lightweight, cross-platform native binaries (Linux, macOS, Windows), npm package, Python package, and Docker image.
• Configurable via CLI arguments for ports, logging, and read-only modes.
