What is Kubernetes MCP Server?
The Kubernetes MCP Server is a tool that enables users to debug and manage Kubernetes configurations and clusters using natural language commands. It acts as a bridge between natural language input and Kubernetes API interactions, simplifying complex management tasks.
How to use Kubernetes MCP Server?
To use the server, first install it using uv or by cloning the repository. Then, configure the server within the Claude desktop application by adding it to the claude_desktop_config.json file. After configuration, you can interact with your Kubernetes resources using natural language commands through the Claude interface.

FAQ from Kubernetes MCP Server
Is it safe to configure clusters with sensitive data?
Is it safe to configure clusters with sensitive data?
No, it is not recommended to configure clusters with sensitive data unless the LLM is running 100% on your local machine. Any sensitive data exchanged with the LLM is inherently compromised.
