Kubernetes Mcp
🚀 Kubernetes-MCP
English | 中文
✨ A Model Capable Protocol (MCP) server implementation designed with Go for interacting with Kubernetes clusters. This server allows MCP-compatible clients to perform Kubernetes operations through defined tools.
📌 Core Features
🔹 MCP Server: Implements the mcp-go library to provide MCP functionality
🔹 Kubernetes Interaction: Uses controller-runtime client to interact with clusters
🔹 Transport Methods: Supports standard I/O (stdio) or Server-Sent Events (sse)
🔹 Data Model: Uses dedicated models package for standardized data structures
🔹 Response Format: All tools provide human-readable text and structured JSON output
🛠️ Resource Management Tools
📊 Implemented API Groups
🔸 Core API Group (v1)
- List, get, describe, create, update, delete operations
- Cluster-scoped: list namespaces, list nodes
- Get Pod logs functionality
🔸 Apps API Group (apps/v1)
- Full support for Deployment, ReplicaSet, StatefulSet, DaemonSet
🔸 Batch API Group (batch/v1)
- Full support for Job, CronJob
🔸 Networking API Group (networking.k8s.io/v1)
- Full support for Ingress, NetworkPolicy
🔸 RBAC API Group (rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1)
- Full support for Role, RoleBinding, ClusterRole, ClusterRoleBinding
🔸 Storage API Group (storage.k8s.io/v1)
- Full support for StorageClass, VolumeAttachment
🔸 Policy API Group (policy/v1beta1)
- Full support for PodSecurityPolicy, PodDisruptionBudget
🔸 API Extensions API Group (apiextensions.k8s.io/v1)
- Full support for CustomResourceDefinition
🔸 Autoscaling API Group (autoscaling/v1)
- Full support for HorizontalPodAutoscaler

--build-arg COMMIT=$(git rev-parse HEAD) \
--build-arg BUILD_DATE=$(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ") .
# Run with stdio transport (default)
docker run -v ~/.kube:/root/.kube kubernetes-mcp:latest
# Run with SSE transport
docker run -p 8080:8080 -v ~/.kube:/root/.kube kubernetes-mcp:latest server --transport=sse
# View version info
docker run kubernetes-mcp:latest version
# Specify custom kubeconfig
docker run -v /path/to/config:/config kubernetes-mcp:latest server --kubeconfig=/config
🚀 Usage
🔄 Starting the Server
# Using standard I/O (default)
./kubernetes-mcp server
# Using SSE (Server-Sent Events)
./kubernetes-mcp server --transport sse --port 8080
# Specifying Kubeconfig
./kubernetes-mcp server --kubeconfig /path/to/your/kubeconfig
# View version
./kubernetes-mcp version
⚙️ Configuration Options
