Implementation Reference
- server.js:1727-1739 (handler)The execution handler for the 'cp' tool. It constructs a 'kubectl cp' command to copy files from a source (assumed local) to the pod's destination path, using provided namespace and container if specified.
case "cp": { const { pod, source, destination, namespace, container } = args; const nsArg = namespace ? `-n ${namespace}` : ""; const containerArg = container ? `-c ${container}` : ""; const cmd = `kubectl cp ${source} ${pod}:${destination} ${nsArg} ${containerArg}`; const { stdout } = await execAsync(cmd); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: stdout || `File copied from ${source} to ${pod}:${destination}` }] }; } - server.js:534-562 (schema)The input schema definition for the 'cp' tool, specifying parameters like pod name, source and destination paths, namespace, and container.
