Example usage with Claude Desktop

To use this MCP server with Claude Desktop you would firstly need to install it.

You have two options at the moment - use pre-built binaries or build it from source. Refer to sources to know how to build from sources.

Installing from npm

npm install -g @strowk/mcp-k8s

Then check version by running mcp-k8s --version and if this printed installed version, you can proceed to add configuration to claude_desktop_config.json file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "mcp_k8s": {
            "command": "mcp-k8s",
            "args": []
        }
    }
}

Using from Claude Desktop

Now you should be able to run Claude Desktop and:

• see K8S contexts available to attach to conversation as a resource
• ask Claude to list contexts
• ask Claude to list pods in a given context and namespace
• ask Claude to list events in a given context and namespace
• ask Claude to read logs of a given pod in a given context and namespace
