You can manage Kubernetes clusters from conversations with language models. This MCP server bridges typical Kubernetes operations to an LLM-enabled workflow, letting you perform common actions safely and with context management through the Model Context Protocol.

How to use

You interact with Kubernetes resources by describing what you want to achieve in natural language. The MCP server translates your request into safe, structured actions that wrap around Kubernetes operations. You can create deployments, scale resources, fetch resource lists (pods, namespaces, nodes, services, deployments, jobs, cronjobs, statefulsets, daemonsets), view logs and events, annotate or label resources, expose services, and perform port-forwarding or deletions. The interface maintains context across steps so you can build multi-step workflows like creating a deployment, then updating its image, and finally verifying the rollout status.

What you can do with Kubernetes MCP

Create a new deployment named nginx-app using image nginx:latest in the production namespace with 3 replicas
Update the deployment nginx-app to version 1.19 in the production namespace
Scale the deployment nginx-app to 5 replicas in the production namespace
List pods, namespaces, nodes, services, deployments, jobs, cronjobs, statefulsets, and daemonsets
Get current context and switch contexts
Fetch logs for a specific pod in a namespace
Get events in a namespace
Annotate or remove annotations on pods in a namespace
Add or remove labels on pods in a namespace
Expose a deployment in a namespace on a port
Port-forward a resource to a local port
Delete various resource types by name in a namespace

Security and governance considerations

Ensure you have proper access controls for your Kubernetes cluster. Run the MCP server in a secure environment and use proper authentication and authorization for API access. When communicating with language models, validate inputs and maintain least-privilege access for all operations.
