MCP Kubernetes Ro Overview

@patrickdappollonio/mcp-kubernetes-ro connects AI assistants to Kubernetes clusters through a read-only MCP interface backed by local kubeconfig credentials. It lists and inspects resources, retrieves pod logs, discovers API resources, reports node and pod metrics, and provides base64 utilities without requiring the kubectl binary. Use it for cluster inspection and troubleshooting when agents should not perform destructive operations.

Primary Use Cases for MCP Kubernetes Ro:
  • Inspect Kubernetes resources without granting write access
  • Retrieve and filter pod logs during troubleshooting
  • Discover cluster API resources and available contexts
  • Check node and pod metrics when Metrics Server is installed
