Overview

A read-only kubectl Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with Claude Code. It exposes a restricted set of safe kubectl verbs such as get, list, and describe, returning structured JSON for cluster triage and inventory tasks. Built in Python, it enables Claude to query Kubernetes cluster state without mutating resources.

Best for
Developers using Claude Code who need safe, natural-language access to Kubernetes cluster state.

Use cases

• One-shot cluster inventory and resource listing via natural language
• Safe, non-destructive debugging of pods, services, and deployments
• Automated triage by querying events and statuses through Claude

Use cases

• One-shot cluster inventory and resource listing via natural language
• Safe, non-destructive debugging of pods, services, and deployments
• Automated triage by querying events and statuses through Claude

Pros

• Read-only enforcement prevents accidental mutations or deletions
• Structured JSON output simplifies downstream parsing and analysis
• Integrates directly with Claude Code for conversational cluster inspection

Cons

• Limited to a hardcoded set of safe kubectl verbs (no exec, create, delete)
• Requires Claude Code; not a standalone kubectl replacement
• Low community adoption (1 star) and likely minimal ongoing support
