agentskillexchange Operate Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters through MCP
Expose Kubernetes and OpenShift cluster operations to MCP clients with native API-backed tools for resources, pods, events, Helm, Tekton, and diagnostics.
Prerequisites
Access to a Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster, kubeconfig or in-cluster configuration, MCP-compatible client, optional npm, Python, Docker, or native binary install path
Installation
Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- npx kubernetes-mcp-server@latest --help
- make build
- npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector@latest $(pwd)/kubernetes-mcp-server
Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- If you're using the native binaries you don't need to have Node or Python installed on your system.
- ✅ Cross-Platform: Available as a native binary for Linux, macOS, and Windows, as well as an npm package, a Python package, and container/Docker image.
Run the Kubernetes MCP server using npx (in case you have npm and node installed)
