What is mcp-ephemeral-k8s?
mcp-ephemeral-k8s is a Python library that simplifies the process of creating and managing ephemeral Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers within a Kubernetes environment. It leverages Server-Sent Events (SSE) for communication and supports various runtimes.
How to use mcp-ephemeral-k8s?
The library can be used as a Python package, via uvx, or deployed using a Helm chart. The basic usage involves creating a KubernetesSessionManager to manage the lifecycle of MCP servers. You can then create MCP servers using predefined presets and interact with them via SSE.
