Server Details
The Google GKE MCP server is a managed Model Context Protocol server that provides AI applications with tools to manage Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) clusters and Kubernetes resources. It exposes a structured, discoverable interface that allows AI agents to interact with GKE and Kubernetes APIs, enabling them to inspect cluster configurations, retrieve Kubernetes resource YAMLs, monitor operations like cluster upgrades, diagnose issues, and optimize costs—all without needing to parse text output or use complex kubectl commands.

8 toolsget_clusterTry in Inspector
Gets the details of a specific GKE cluster.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | Required. The name (project, location, cluster) of the cluster to retrieve. Specified in the format `projects/*/locations/*/clusters/*`. | |
| readMask | No | Optional. The field mask to specify the fields to be returned in the response. Use a single "*" to get all fields. Default: autopilot,createTime,currentMasterVersion,currentNodeCount,currentNodeVersion,description,endpoint,fleet,location,name,network,nodePools.locations,nodePools.name,nodePools.status,nodePools.version,releaseChannel,resourceLabels,selfLink,status,statusMessage,subnetwork. |
get_node_poolTry in Inspector
Gets the details of a specific node pool within a GKE cluster.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | Required. The name (project, location, cluster, node pool id) of the node pool to get. Specified in the format `projects/*/locations/*/clusters/*/nodePools/*`. |
get_operationTry in Inspector
Gets the details of a specific GKE operation.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | Required. The name (project, location, operation id) of the operation to get. Specified in the format `projects/*/locations/*/operations/*`. |
kube_api_resourcesTry in Inspector
Retrieves the available API groups and resources from a Kubernetes cluster. This is similar to running kubectl api-resources.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| parent | Yes | Required. The cluster, which owns this collection of resource types. Format: projects/{project}/locations/{location}/clusters/{cluster} |
kube_getTry in Inspector
Gets one or more Kubernetes resources from a cluster. Resources can be filtered by type, name, namespace, and label selectors. Returns the resources in YAML format. This is similar to running kubectl get.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | No | Optional. The name of the resource to retrieve. If not specified, all resources of the given type are returned. | |
| parent | Yes | Required. The cluster, which owns this collection of resources. Format: projects/{project}/locations/{location}/clusters/{cluster} | |
| namespace | No | Optional. The namespace of the resource. If not specified, all namespaces are searched. | |
| resourceType | Yes | Required. The type of resource to retrieve. Kubernetes resource/kind name in singular form, lower case. e.g. "pod", "deployment", "service". | |
| labelSelector | No | Optional. A label selector to filter resources. |
list_clustersTry in Inspector
