Ig MCP Server Overview

The inspektor-gadget/ig-mcp-server MCP server connects AI agents to Inspektor Gadget for eBPF-based container and Kubernetes troubleshooting. It exposes lifecycle and gadget-management tools through MCP, while dynamically registering individual gadgets for tracing, snapshots, profiling, and security analysis. Results are returned as structured JSON with Kubernetes metadata such as pods, namespaces, containers, and nodes. Reach for it when kernel-level telemetry is needed to investigate DNS, networking, processes, files, syscalls, resource use, or related workload problems.
