MCP Client Configuration

Add to your MCP client config (e.g., ~/.cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "errata-tool": {
      "command": "podman",
      "args": ["run", "-d", "--rm", "--name", "errata-mcp-sse", "-p", "8000:8000", 
               "-v", "/etc/krb5.conf:/etc/krb5.conf:ro", "--network", "host", 
               "localhost/errata-mcp:latest"],
      "transport": { "type": "sse", "url": "http://localhost:8000" }
    }
  }
}

Authentication

For advisory access, run inside container:

kinit your_username@IPA.REDHAT.COM

Troubleshooting

Issue	Fix
"Pigeon crap. Did it forget to run kinit?"	Run `kinit` inside container
Container won't start	Check: `podman --version`, `./build-container.sh logs`
SSE connection fails	Verify: `curl http://localhost:8000/sse/`
Products/States work but advisories don't	Run `kinit` for authentication

./build-container.sh shell       # Get shell in running container
./build-container.sh logs        # View logs
./build-container.sh stop        # Stop containers
