- Resource Status Queries: Query cluster resource status using natural language and receive easy-to-understand responses
2. Automated Operations Scenarios
- Intelligent Operations Assistant: Serve as an intelligent assistant for operators in daily cluster management tasks
- Problem Diagnosis: Assist in cluster problem diagnosis through natural language problem descriptions

- Environment Management: Simplify test environment resource management, quickly create, modify, and clean up test resources
- Configuration Generation: Automatically generate resource configurations that follow best practices based on requirement descriptions
4. Education and Training Scenarios
- Interactive Learning: Newcomers can learn Kubernetes concepts and operations through natural language interaction
- Best Practice Guidance: LLM provides best practice suggestions during resource operations
- Error Explanation: Provide easy-to-understand error explanations and correction suggestions when operations fail
Architecture
1. Project Overview
An stdio-based MCP server that connects to Kubernetes clusters and provides the following capabilities:
- Query Kubernetes resource types (including built-in resources and CRDs)
- CRUD operations on Kubernetes resources (with configurable write operations)
- Helm operations for release and repository management
2. Technical Stack
- Go
- mcp-go SDK
- Kubernetes client-go library
- Helm v3 client library
- Stdio for communication
3. Core Components
- MCP Server: Uses mcp-go's
mcp-k8spackage to create an stdio-based MCP server - K8s Client: Uses client-go to connect to Kubernetes clusters
- Helm Client: Uses Helm v3 library for Helm operations
- Tool Implementations: Implements various MCP tools for different Kubernetes operations
4. Available Tools
Resource Type Query Tools
get_api_resources: Get all supported API resource types in the cluster
Resource Operation Tools
get_resource: Get detailed information about a specific resourcelist_resources: List all instances of a resource typecreate_resource: Create new resources (can be disabled)update_resource: Update existing resources (can be disabled)delete_resource: Delete resources (can be disabled)

Usage
mcp-k8s supports two communication modes:
1. Stdio Mode (Default)
In stdio mode, mcp-k8s communicates with the client through standard input/output streams. This is the default mode and is suitable for most use cases.
### Run in stdio mode (default)
{
"mcpServers":
{
"mcp-k8s":
{
"command": "/path/to/mcp-k8s",
"args":
[
"-kubeconfig",
"/path/to/kubeconfig",
"-enable-create",
"-enable-delete",
"-enable-update",
"-enable-list",
"-enable-helm-install",
"-enable-helm-upgrade"
]
}
}
}
2. SSE Mode
In SSE (Server-Sent Events) mode, mcp-k8s exposes an HTTP endpoint to mcp client. You can deploy the service on a remote server (but you need to pay attention to security)
### Run in SSE mode
./bin/mcp-k8s -kubeconfig=/path/to/kubeconfig -transport=sse -port=8080 -host=localhost -enable-create -enable-delete -enable-list -enable-update -enable-helm-install
### This command will open all operations
mcp config
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-k8s": {
"url": "http://localhost:8080/sse",
"args": []
}
}
}
SSE mode configuration:
-transport: Set to "sse" to enable SSE mode-port: HTTP server port (default: 8080)--host: HTTP server host (default: "localhost")
3. Docker environment
SSE Mode
- Complete Example Assuming your image name is mcp-k8s and you need to map ports and set environment parameters, you can run:
docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 -i -v ~/.kube/config:/root/.kube/config ghcr.io/silenceper/mcp-k8s:latest -transport=sse
stdio Mode
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-k8s": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"-v",
"~/.kube/config:/root/.kube/config",
"--rm",
"ghcr.io/silenceper/mcp-k8s:latest"
]
}
}
}

Helm Operations
-enable-helm-release-list: Enable Helm release list operations (default: true)-enable-helm-release-get: Enable Helm release get operations (default: true)-enable-helm-install: Enable Helm chart installation (default: false)-enable-helm-upgrade: Enable Helm chart upgrade (default: false)-enable-helm-uninstall: Enable Helm chart uninstallation (default: false)-enable-helm-repo-list: Enable Helm repository list operations (default: true)-enable-helm-repo-add: Enable Helm repository add operations (default: false)-enable-helm-repo-remove: Enable Helm repository remove operations (default: false)
Transport Configuration
-transport: Transport type (stdio or sse) (default: "stdio")-host: Host for SSE transport (default "localhost")-port: TCP port for SSE transport (default 8080)
Integration with MCP Clients
mcp-k8s is an stdio-based MCP server that can be integrated with any MCP-compatible LLM client. Refer to your MCP client's documentation for integration instructions.
Security Considerations
- Write operations are strictly controlled through independent configuration switches
- Uses RBAC to ensure K8s client has only necessary permissions
- Validates all user inputs to prevent injection attacks
- Helm operations follow the same security principles with read operations enabled by default and write operations disabled by default
