Usage with Claude Desktop
The server will automatically connect to your current kubectl context. Make sure you have:
- kubectl installed and in your PATH
- A valid kubeconfig file with contexts configured
- Access to a Kubernetes cluster configured for kubectl (e.g. minikube, Rancher Desktop, GKE, etc.)
You can verify your connection by asking Claude to list your pods or create a test deployment.
If you have errors, open up a standard terminal and run kubectl get pods to see if you can connect to your cluster without credentials issues.

GitHub Badge
Glama performs regular codebase and documentation scans to:
- Confirm that the MCP server is working as expected.
- Confirm that there are no obvious security issues with dependencies of the server.
- Extract server characteristics such as tools, resources, prompts, and required parameters.
Our directory badge helps users to quickly asses that the MCP server is safe, server capabilities, and instructions for installing the server.
