VMware VKS
Connects Claude to VMware vSphere 8.x Workload Management APIs and Supervisor Kubernetes endpoints to provision and manage Tanzu Kubernetes clusters. Exposes 20 tools split across supervisor status checks, vSphere namespace lifecycle (create, update quotas, delete with guard rails), and TanzuKubernetesCluster operations including creation with dry-run previews, worker scaling, version upgrades, and kubeconfig extraction. Uses pyVmomi for vCenter REST calls and the Kubernetes Python client against the Supervisor API, auto-detecting cluster.x-k8s.io v1 or v1beta1. Best for platform teams managing containerized workloads on vSphere who need namespace provisioning, TKC deployments, and day-2 cluster operations accessible through natural language. Community project by a VMware engineer, not an official Broadcom release.

Why use it?
- Inspect namespaces, VM classes and storage policies.
- Use explicit ClusterClass and server validation where supported.
- Expose conditions and discovery gaps instead of guessing.
