You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
Choose MCP Server Kubernetes when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Cloud Platforms domain.
- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- You want tools like
cleanup, kubectl_get, kubectl_describe.
