Provision the Lumino MCP server as a project-local MCP integration:

1. Clone the repository:
   git clone https://github.com/spre-sre/lumino-mcp-server.git

2. Install Python dependencies using uv:
   cd lumino-mcp-server && uv sync

3. Create .mcp.json in the current project root (NOT inside lumino-mcp-server) with this configuration.
   IMPORTANT: Replace <ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_LUMINO> with the actual absolute path to the cloned lumino-mcp-server directory:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "lumino": {
         "type": "stdio",
         "command": "<ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_LUMINO>/.venv/bin/python",
         "args": ["<ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_LUMINO>/main.py"],
         "env": {
           "PYTHONUNBUFFERED": "1"
         }
       }
     }
   }

4. After creating .mcp.json, inform the user to:
   - Exit Claude Code completely
   - Connect to their Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster (kubectl/oc login)
   - Restart Claude Code in this project directory
   - They will see a prompt to approve the Lumino MCP server
   - Once approved, Lumino tools will be available (check with /mcp command)
