What it does for you

Lets your AI operate your Kubernetes cluster — inspect pods, read logs, deploy apps, doing cluster ops through chat.

Capabilities

  • Inspect pods / deployments
  • Read container logs
  • Apply / update resources

Once installed, try asking your AI

Say this directly in Claude / Cursor or any client with this server connected

  • Which pods are in CrashLoopBackOff? Show me the logs
  • Scale this deployment to 3 replicas

Before you connect

✓ No extra key neededNode.jsDocker

Config example (to connect)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kubernetes": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-kubernetes"]
    }
  }
}

Works with these clients

  • Claude Desktopnpx
  • Claude Codenpx
  • Cursornpx
  • VS Codenpx

Derived from the registry manifest (package type and transport) — we have not installed it ourselves. Check the official README before relying on it.
