概要
The Istio server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to offer intelligent querying capabilities for Istio service mesh resources within Kubernetes environments. It grants AI assistants and developers safe, non-destructive access to critical configurations, including Virtual Services, Destination Rules, Gateways, and detailed Envoy proxy setups. Designed for integration with AI tools, it ensures operations are 100% read-only, eliminating any risk of accidental modifications or deletions, while supporting multiple protocols like STDIO, SSE, and HTTP.
