Kubernetes FAQs

Question 1

Does Kubernetes MCP Server support Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it offers seamless support for all Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) in your cluster. You can inspect and debug CRD-based resources just as easily as native Kubernetes resources.

Question 2

What is the Kubernetes MCP Server?

Accepted Answer

The Kubernetes MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to provide safe, read-only access to Kubernetes cluster resources. It's ideal for debugging and inspection tasks, offering comprehensive visibility without any modification capabilities.

Question 3

Can it help discover resources from specific projects like FluxCD or ArgoCD?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. It features smart resource discovery, allowing you to filter resources by API group substring. This lets you quickly find and inspect resources related to projects like FluxCD, ArgoCD, Istio, or cert-manager within your cluster.

Question 4

How does it ensure read-only security for my Kubernetes cluster?

Accepted Answer

It is built with security as a primary concern, offering strictly read-only access. This means it cannot create, modify, or delete any resources, making it safe for use in production environments. It only requires minimal read permissions to function.

Question 5

What specific inspection tools are included?

Accepted Answer

The server provides a comprehensive toolset including `list_resources` for filtering and listing resources, `describe_resource` for detailed information, `get_pod_logs` with advanced filtering, and `list_events` for debugging and monitoring cluster events.
