unblu-mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for debugging and operating Unblu deployments. Optimised for debugging workflows — curated typed tools for common operations, plus an escape hatch for the full 300+ endpoint API.

📚 Full Documentation

Design

The server exposes three layers, each progressively more powerful:

Layer	What it is	When to use
Curated tools	Typed, token-efficient tools for common debugging tasks	90% of debugging sessions
`execute_operation`	Generic escape hatch for any of 331 Unblu API operations	When a curated tool doesn't exist
Resources	Read-only `api://` URIs for browsing the API surface	Discovery and schema inspection

Quick Start

Installation

bash

uvx unblu-mcp

Or install persistently: uv tool install unblu-mcp

MCP Client Configuration

Direct API access with an API key:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unblu": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["unblu-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "UNBLU_BASE_URL": "https://your-instance.unblu.cloud/app/rest/v4",
        "UNBLU_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Kubernetes port-forward (auto-managed):

For --provider k8s, you need all of the following:

kubectl installed and available to the MCP client process
a valid Kubernetes login with access to the target namespace
a K8s environment map in ~/.unblu-mcp/k8s_environments.yaml or passed with --k8s-config

Quick bootstrap:

bash

mkdir -p ~/.unblu-mcp
uvx unblu-mcp --print-k8s-config-template > ~/.unblu-mcp/k8s_environments.yaml

The --environment value must match a key from that YAML file, such as dev, test1, or t1.

Minimal config file:

yaml

environments:
  dev:
    local_port: 8084
    namespace: unblu-dev
    service: haproxy
    service_port: 8080
    api_path: /app/rest/v4

Then point your MCP client at that environment:

config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "unblu": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["unblu-mcp", "--provider", "k8s", "--environment", "dev"],
      "env": {
        "PATH": "/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/.local/bin:/opt/homebrew/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
      }
    }
  }
}

The env block is optional if your MCP client already inherits a PATH that includes both uvx and kubectl. Keep it if the client cannot otherwise find those binaries.
