Istio

About

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.
