Kube Operator FAQs

Question 1

What is Kube Operator?

Accepted Answer

Kube Operator is a Kubernetes tool that automates the process of exposing microservice APIs as MCP (Microservice Configuration Protocol) services within your Kubernetes clusters, simplifying API management and integration.

Question 2

How do I integrate Kube Operator with my existing deployments?

Accepted Answer

After installing Kube Operator via its Helm chart, you simply need to annotate your Kubernetes deployments with `mcp-server: "true"`. The operator will then automatically inject the MCP sidecar and create a corresponding service.

Question 3

Can I configure the microservice host or OpenAPI path for the sidecar?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the sidecar is configurable via environment variables such as `SERVICE_HOST` (default `localhost`), `SERVICE_PORT` (default `80`), and `OPENAPI_PATH` (default `openapi.json`). This allows you to specify how it connects to your main container and where to find the OpenAPI definition.

Question 4

How does Kube Operator simplify API exposure?

Accepted Answer

It utilizes a Kopf-based Kubernetes operator to automatically inject a lightweight FastAPI sidecar into your annotated deployments. This sidecar proxies requests and exposes your microservice's OpenAPI specification, with automatic service creation.

Question 5

What are the core components of Kube Operator?

Accepted Answer

Kube Operator includes a dedicated Kubernetes Operator for automation, a lightweight FastAPI Sidecar for API proxying and OpenAPI exposure, and a Custom Resource Definition (CRD) for MCPConfig to manage service exposure.
