Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd mcp-kubernetics

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Build the project:

Usage

Running with Claude AI

1. Open Claude desktop app.

6. Save the file.

7. Now you can ask questions related to your Kubernetes cluster like: "What are the pods in my cluster?"

Example claude_desktop_config.json snippet

Replace <FULL PATH OF BUILD> with the absolute path to your built index.js file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kubernetics-mcp-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["<FULL PATH OF BUILD>/kubernetics-server/build/index.js"]
    }
  }
}
