rancher-mcp

A polished TypeScript MCP server for Rancher workflows.

It exposes the Rancher tool surface as a standalone MCP service, forwards caller identity when available, and falls back to configured Rancher credentials when needed. The repo includes tests, a documentation site, and GitHub Pages publishing.

Why this exists

Rancher users often need the tool surface without the surrounding operator/runtime package. rancher-mcp keeps the useful Rancher and Fleet actions, but packages them as a focused MCP server that is easier to run locally, automate, and connect to agent clients.

What it does

  • exposes Rancher cluster, project, namespace, access-control, and Fleet tools

  • supports HTTP and stdio transports

  • forwards the incoming Authorization header to Rancher

  • falls back to configured Rancher credentials when no header is present

  • includes Vitest coverage for the tool catalog, auth, executor, and health route

  • ships a documentation site with client setup examples
