Tools

This MCP server provides the following tools for interacting with cert-manager and Kubernetes resources:

Certificate Management

• list_certificates - List certificates within a namespace or across all namespaces, with options for filtering expired certificates and pagination. You can also include domains for listed certificates with include_domains argument (defaults to False to make responses more compact)

• get_certificate - Get detailed information about a specific certificate

• renew_certificate - Force renewal of a certificate

Issuer Management

• list_issuers - List issuers or cluster issuers with their statuses and configuration. Unlike list_certificates there are no pagination or filtering except for cluster/namespaced issuers and namespaces for Issuers.

Kubernetes Context Management

• list_namespaces - List all namespaces in the cluster

• list_contexts - List all available kubeconfig contexts

• get_current_context - Get the currently active kubeconfig context

• switch_context - Switch to a different kubeconfig context. Updates in-memory config
