Enables management of Kubernetes cluster resources including deployments, pods, services, configmaps, secrets, namespaces, metrics, and events. Supports operations like scaling, restarting, log retrieval, and resource monitoring with safety features for destructive actions.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@Kube MCPlist all pods in the default namespace"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.

Kube MCP
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Kubernetes cluster management. Enables AI assistants to interact with Kubernetes resources.
Quick Start
npx @icy-r/kube-mcpMCP Configuration
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"kubernetes": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@icy-r/kube-mcp"],
"env": {
"KUBEMCP_DEFAULT_NAMESPACE": "default"
}
}
}
}Custom kubeconfig:
{
"mcpServers": {
"kubernetes": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@icy-r/kube-mcp"],
"env": {
"KUBEMCP_CONFIG_SOURCE": "custom",
"KUBEMCP_KUBECONFIG_PATH": "/path/to/kubeconfig"
}
}
}

Safety Features
Destructive actions require explicit confirmation:
{ "action": "delete", "name": "my-pod", "confirm": true }Preview changes with dry-run:
{ "action": "scale", "name": "my-deployment", "replicas": 5, "dryRun": true }Development
