That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
k8s-mcp-assistant
A read-only Kubernetes MCP (Model Context Protocol) server to help developers quickly inspect the state of their apps in a dev cluster — without giving them full kubectl access.
Built for teams where only Cloud/SRE has cluster access, but developers still need answers like:
“Why is my app in
CrashLoopBackOff?”“What do the pod events say?”
“Show me the container logs (including
--previous)”
What it does
This MCP exposes safe, read-only tools that fetch Kubernetes status and logs from a cluster using a restricted kubeconfig / ServiceAccount.
Tools
k8s.app_statusShows a high-level view of an app (deploy/pods readiness, restarts, basic diagnostics)
k8s.pod_logsFetches pod logs with practical options like
tail,since,timestamps,container, andprevious
⚠️ This project is intentionally read-only: no
apply, nodelete, noexec, no port-forward, no secret retrieval.
