Kubernetes MCP

Unknown

The Kubernetes MCP Server is a community project from the containers organization (Red Hat ecosystem), the most popular Kubernetes MCP: access to pods, deployments, services, namespaces and OpenShift-specific features. Installs via npx, Helm or Docker; supports Streamable HTTP and SSE, with auth via kubeconfig, an in-cluster service account, or OAuth/OIDC. No official CNCF server exists.

Why this server

  • The most popular Kubernetes MCP — 1,846 stars, with no official CNCF alternative
  • Works with both vanilla Kubernetes and OpenShift, covering Red Hat–specific resources
  • Three auth modes — kubeconfig, an in-cluster service account, or OAuth/OIDC — fit any setup
  • Streamable HTTP and SSE alongside stdio — deployable as a remote server for a whole team

Result: The agent listed the namespace's pods, filtered by status, and returned several pods stuck in CrashLoopBackOff.

Prompt: Scale the api-gateway deployment to 5 replicas
