A powerful and flexible Kubernetes Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation with support for Kubernetes and OpenShift.
.kube/config
or in-cluster configuration.Unlike other Kubernetes MCP server implementations, this IS NOT just a wrapper around kubectl
or helm
command-line tools.
There is NO NEED for external dependencies or tools to be installed on the system. If you're using the native binaries you don't even need to have Node or Python installed on your system.
If you have npm installed, this is the fastest way to get started with kubernetes-mcp-server
on Claude Desktop.
Open your claude_desktop_config.json
and add the mcp server to the list of mcpServers
:
{
"mcpServers": {
"kubernetes": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"kubernetes-mcp-server@latest"
]
}
}
}
Install the Kubernetes MCP server extension in VS Code Insiders by pressing the following link:
Alternatively, you can install the extension manually by running the following command:
# For VS Code
code --add-mcp '{"name":"kubernetes","command":"npx","args":["kubernetes-mcp-server@latest"]}'
# For VS Code Insiders
code-insiders --add-mcp '{"name":"kubernetes","command":"npx","args":["kubernetes-mcp-server@latest"]}'
Goose CLI is the easiest (and cheapest) way to get rolling with artificial intelligence (AI) agents.
If you have npm installed, this is the fastest way to get started with kubernetes-mcp-server
.
Open your goose config.yaml
and add the mcp server to the list of mcpServers
:
extensions:
kubernetes:
command: npx
args:
- -y
- kubernetes-mcp-server@latest
Demo showcasing how Kubernetes MCP server is leveraged by Claude Desktop to automatically diagnose and fix a deployment in OpenShift without any user assistance.

In this demo, I walk you through the process of Vibe Coding a simple game using VS Code and how to leverage Podman MCP server and Kubernetes MCP server to deploy it to OpenShift.
The Kubernetes MCP server can be configured using command line (CLI) arguments.
You can run the CLI executable either by using npx
or by downloading the latest release binary.
# Run the Kubernetes MCP server using npx (in case you have npm installed)
npx kubernetes-mcp-server@latest --help
# Run the Kubernetes MCP server using the latest release binary
./kubernetes-mcp-server --help
Option | Description |
---|---|
--sse-port | Starts the MCP server in Server-Sent Event (SSE) mode and listens on the specified port. |
--log-level | Sets the logging level (values from 0-9). Similar to kubectl logging levels. |
Compile the project and run the Kubernetes MCP server with mcp-inspector to inspect the MCP server.
# Compile the project
make build
# Run the Kubernetes MCP server with mcp-inspector
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector@latest $(pwd)/kubernetes-mcp-server
