Overview

What is Mcp K8s Go?

Mcp K8s Go is a Golang-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects to Kubernetes clusters. It enables AI assistants like Claude to list, get, create, and modify Kubernetes resources, as well as run commands in pods and fetch logs.

How to use Mcp K8s Go?

Mcp K8s Go can be installed via Smithery, mcp-get, npm (@strowk/mcp-k8s), pre-built binaries from GitHub releases, building from source with Golang, or using Docker. Configure it in Claude Desktop by adding an entry to claude_desktop_config.json with the appropriate command and arguments. Environment variable KUBECONFIG sets the path to your Kubernetes config (default ~/.kube/config). Command-line options include --allowed-contexts to restrict contexts, --readonly to disable write tools, and --mask-secrets (default true).

Key features of Mcp K8s Go

  • List Kubernetes contexts and namespaces
  • List, get, create, and modify Kubernetes resources (pods, services, deployments, etc.)
  • List Kubernetes nodes and get events
  • Get pod logs and run commands inside pods
  • Mask secrets in output by default

Use cases of Mcp K8s Go

  • AI-assisted Kubernetes resource management (create, update, delete)
  • Debugging by inspecting pod logs and running commands
  • Monitoring cluster events and node status
  • Controlled read‑only access for audit or security scenarios

Frequently asked questions

1

What does Mcp K8s Go do?

It is an MCP server that provides tools and resources for interacting with Kubernetes clusters, enabling AI assistants to manage resources, fetch logs, and run commands.

2

How can I install Mcp K8s Go?

Install via Smithery (`npx -y @smithery/cli install @strowk/mcp-k8s`), mcp-get, npm (`npm install -g @strowk/mcp-k8s`), download a pre‑built binary from GitHub releases, build from source with Go, or use Docker (`docker run ... mcpk8s/server:latest`).

3

What environment variables and options does Mcp K8s Go support?

Supports `KUBECONFIG` for kubeconfig path, `--allowed-contexts` to restrict contexts, `--readonly` to disable write tools, `--mask-secrets` (default true) to mask secrets, `--help`, and `--version`.

4

Does Mcp K8s Go support running in read‑only mode?

Yes. Use the `--readonly` flag to disable any tool that can write changes to the cluster.

5

What are the prerequisites for running Mcp K8s Go?

A valid Kubernetes configuration (kubeconfig) is required. For installation, you need Node.js (for npm/Smithery/mcp-get), Golang (if building from source), or Docker (if using the container image).
