TUI for Kubernetes Debug Containers
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Kdebug MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. TUI for Kubernetes Debug Containers.
kdebug is a helper utility for launching ephemeral Kubernetes debug containers and backing up files. It provides interactive shell access, backup workflows, and a TUI for pod selection.
The server publishes 3 tools. What each one is for:
Homebrew — The Homebrew tool exposed by this serverBash — The Bash tool exposed by this serverFish — The Fish tool exposed by this serverInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at kdebug on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Kdebug's toolset — Homebrew, Bash, Fish — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Jesse Goodier; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
This entry was verified against Kdebug's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.
