MCP Server Kubernetes vs Infrawise

A side-by-side look at the MCP Server Kubernetes and Infrawise MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.

Infrawise tools 22

  • get_infra_overviewComplete snapshot — services, counts, high-severity findings, `configured` flag (data age and per-source status ride the `dataHealth` block on every response)
  • get_graph_summaryFull infrastructure graph — all nodes, edges, and findings
  • get_table_schemaColumn-level schema for named tables/collections — types, PKs, FKs, indexes, DynamoDB keys/billing mode, cost signal (no row data)
  • analyze_functionIssues in a specific function — scans, missing indexes, N+1, trigger event shapes, missing IAM permissions; returns every same-named file as a separate match, or bind to one with the optional `file` input; names refused Lambda links and why (`unresolvedLambdas`)
  • suggest_gsiExact GSI config for a DynamoDB table + attribute — names the existing index instead when one already covers it
  • postgres_index_suggestionsExact `CREATE INDEX` SQL for your actual table
  • suggest_mongo_indexExact `createIndex` command for a MongoDB collection + field
  • mysql_index_suggestionsExact `ALTER TABLE ADD INDEX` SQL for your MySQL table
  • get_queue_detailsSQS queues — DLQ status, encryption, FIFO type, visibility timeout, message counts
  • get_api_routesAPI Gateway APIs (REST, HTTP, WebSocket) — routes, HTTP methods, paths, and Lambda integrations
  • get_topic_detailsSNS topics — subscription counts, protocols, and filter policies (required message attributes per subscription)
  • get_secrets_overviewSecrets Manager — names, rotation status, and key names inferred from code (values never included)

Frequently asked questions

MCP Server Kubernetes is categorized under Cloud Platforms and uses a local stdio subprocess. Infrawise belongs to Cloud Platforms and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick MCP Server Kubernetes for cloud platforms work and Infrawise for cloud platforms.

Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.

MCP Server Kubernetes has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Infrawise is listed as free. Auth: api key required. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.

Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add flux159-mcp-server-kubernetes and sidd27-infrawise as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
