  • resource_create_or_update — Create or update a resource in a namespace
  • resource_delete — Delete a resource in a namespace
  • resource_describe — Describe a resource detailed information in a namespace
  • deployment_scale — Scale a deployment in a namespace
  • pod_exec — Execute a command in a pod in a namespace

Where it fits

This sits in the cloud and infrastructure group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. MCP K8s Eye's toolset — resource_get, resource_list, resource_create_or_update and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by wenhuwang; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against MCP K8s Eye's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • With 14 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch MCP K8s Eye.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
