mcp-k8s — Kubernetes MCP Server (Go + Helm)

Main

• Start read-only: keep create/update/delete disabled until you trust your prompts and role separation (README shows write flags).

• Choose a transport that matches your client: use stdio for desktop clients, or Streamable HTTP/SSE for remote access and debugging.

• Keep kubeconfig explicit: Docker examples mount ~/.kube/config so the server talks to the cluster you intend.

• Use Helm tools for higher-level ops: list_helm_releases/install_helm_chart/upgrade_helm_chart help avoid low-level manifest edits.

Source-backed notes

• README lists tool groups: Kubernetes resource queries/CRUD plus Helm release/repo operations.
• README includes Docker run examples exposing http://localhost:8080/mcp in Streamable HTTP mode.
• README shows install via go install github.com/silenceper/mcp-k8s/cmd/mcp-k8s@latest and mentions downloading binaries from releases.

FAQ

• Can it modify my cluster?: Yes, but writes are configurable; keep create/update/delete disabled unless you need them (README flags).
• Which transport should I use?: Use Streamable HTTP for URL-based clients and debugging; use stdio for local desktop MCP clients.
• How does it find my cluster credentials?: README Docker examples mount ~/.kube/config; Go binary can read a kubeconfig path via flags.
