What is the Claude Kubernetes MCP Server?

A GitOps Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server.

The short version

This repository contains the Claude Kubernetes MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, built in Go. The server integrates with ArgoCD, GitLab, Claude AI, and Kubernetes to enable advanced control and automation of Kubernetes environments.

This server is designed to orchestrate Kubernetes workloads using Claude AI, GitLab, ArgoCD, and Vault. It exposes a REST API that allows programmatic interaction with these systems, driven by a configured config.yaml and authenticated using an API key.

  • Go 1.20+ - Docker - Kubernetes cluster & valid ~/.kube/config - EKS cluster with AWS_PROFILE set locally - ArgoCD credentials - GitLab personal access token - Claude API key (Anthropic) - Vault credentials (optional, depending on use)
