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.
