K8s MCP Server (Go)
Gives Claude read-only access to your Kubernetes cluster through 33 tools covering pods, deployments, services, ConfigMaps, secrets, and node metrics. Ships with three permission modes: readonly (default) blocks all mutations, readwrite adds scaling and restarts, and dangerous enables deletes and arbitrary YAML applies. Each tool checks permissions at runtime and returns explicit denials rather than failing silently. Uses your local kubeconfig and runs as a stdio transport. Useful when you want AI to diagnose cluster issues or explain resource states without risking accidental deletions in production. Available as MCPB bundles for direct installation in Claude Desktop and Cursor.

k8s-mcp-go
Safe, read-only-by-default Kubernetes access for AI agents.
A Kubernetes MCP server that lets AI assistants inspect your cluster safely — without giving them unrestricted kubectl.
What makes it different
- Read-only by default: useful for diagnosis without giving AI permission to mutate the cluster.
- Explicit permission modes: choose
readonly,readwrite, ordangerousbefore the assistant starts. - No Docker required: install via MCPB bundles or a single native binary.
- Kubernetes-native visibility: inspect pods, deployments, services, logs, events, nodes, and live CPU/memory usage.
- Registry-ready distribution: published as
io.github.kaneg/k8s-mcp-gofor MCP Registry consumers and packaged clients.
