Kubernetes MCP Server
Community Kubernetes MCP server — clusters as agent tools.
About
A community Kubernetes MCP server (Flux159/mcp-server-kubernetes, MIT, ~1.6k stars): pods, deployments, logs, and kubectl-style operations as agent tools.
Actively maintained (47 releases/12mo) with a notably clean issue record (10 open). The usual warning applies: scope the service account tightly — an agent with cluster-admin is a loaded gun.
What it can do
- Pods, deployments, logs
- kubectl-style operations
- MIT open source
- Clean issue record
- Least-privilege friendly
Setup
- Create a scoped Kubernetes service account / kubeconfig.
- Add the server to your MCP config.
- Grant least-privilege RBAC — never cluster-admin for agents.
Prerequisites
Kubernetes cluster; scoped kubeconfig.
Use cases

Trust score — 8/10
Scored 8/10 (verified tier). MIT, actively maintained, very clean issue record. Docked for being community (not CNCF/official) and the inherent risk of agent cluster access — flagged in setup. Verified tier on health.
