How to install

Docker

Get your kubeconfig file for your Kubernetes cluster and setup in the mcpServers (replace src path with your kubeconfig path):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kubernetes": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "--mount", "type=bind,src=/home/username/.kube/config,dst=/home/mcp/.kube/config",
        "ghcr.io/feiskyer/mcp-kubernetes-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

NPX

1. Install uv and add it to your PATH, e.g. using curl:

# For Linux and MacOS
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

2. Install kubectl and add it to your PATH, e.g.

# For Linux
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/linux/amd64/kubectl"

# For MacOS
curl -LO "https://dl.k8s.io/release/$(curl -L -s https://dl.k8s.io/release/stable.txt)/bin/darwin/arm64/kubectl"

3. Config your MCP servers in Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT Copilot, Github Copilot and other supported AI clients, e.g.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kubernetes": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-kubernetes-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "KUBECONFIG": "<your-kubeconfig-path>"
      }
    }
  }
