Velero

About

The Velero MCP Server is an open-source tool designed to expose Velero backup and schedule Custom Resources (CRDs) in a safe, structured, and read-only manner to AI agents such as ChatGPT, Claude, and GitHub Copilot. It addresses the lack of an MCP server for Velero, enabling AI agents to inspect Velero states, generate backup YAML manifests, and access Velero data as MCP resources without any write-access risk. This project empowers platform engineers to automate Kubernetes backup and disaster recovery workflows with AI, ensuring low-privilege and read-only interaction with critical cluster configurations.
