Release history: 3 versions in the registry since 2026-07-31, latest 2026-10-29, typically one every 49 days.
Install Kubernetes in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code
Runs npx -y kubernetes-mcp-server on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

✨ Features
A powerful and flexible Kubernetes Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation with support for Kubernetes and OpenShift.
- ✅ Configuration:
- Automatically detect changes in the Kubernetes configuration and update the MCP server.
- View and manage the current Kubernetes .kube/config or in-cluster configuration.
- ✅ Generic Kubernetes Resources: Perform operations on any Kubernetes or OpenShift resource.
- Any CRUD operation (Create or Update, Get, List, Delete).
- ✅ Pods: Perform Pod-specific operations.
- List pods in all namespaces or in a specific namespace.
- Get a pod by name from the specified namespace.
- Delete a pod by name from the specified namespace.
- Show logs for a pod by name from the specified namespace.
- Top gets resource usage metrics for all pods or a specific pod in the specified namespace.
- Exec into a pod and run a command.
Unlike other Kubernetes MCP server implementations, this IS NOT just a wrapper around kubectl or helm command-line tools. It is a Go-based native implementation that interacts directly with the Kubernetes API server.
There is NO NEED for external dependencies or tools to be installed on the system. If you're using the native binaries you don't need to have Node or Python installed on your system.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
Kubernetes: common questions
- Is Kubernetes MCP server safe?
- Yes, by our scan: it is graded A (94/100). Read the Kubernetes safety report
- How do I install Kubernetes?
- It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.
- Does Kubernetes need an API key?
- Not as far as the registry entry and our scan can tell: no credentials are declared or required.
- Is Kubernetes maintained?
- The last commit was 32 days ago (2026-10-02). The latest release is v0.1.0.
- What can I use instead of Kubernetes?
- Servers from other publishers that do the same job: Radar Kubernetes MCP Server, Dot AI MCP server and Kubefwd MCP server.
- How does Kubernetes compare with other Developer tools MCP servers?
- safety score 94/100 (higher than 96% of 1,119 Developer tools servers); github stars 2,142 (more than 95% of 855 Developer tools servers); downloads a week 15,575 (more than 95% of 436 Developer tools servers with a package). Full comparison.
