Overview

Installation

1. Prerequisites
• Go 1.22 or later installed
• Access to a Kubernetes cluster and a valid kubeconfig (~/.kube/config)
• (Optional) Docker if you prefer container deployment
2. Get the source & build from GitHub
git clone https://github.com/strowk/mcp-k8s-go.git cd mcp-k8s-go go build -o mcp-k8s ./cmd/server
Or install directly:
go install github.com/strowk/mcp-k8s-go/cmd/server@latest
3. Install via NPM (Node.js wrapper / CLI convenience)
npm install -g @strowk/mcp-k8s
4. Container image (quick start)
docker pull ghcr.io/strowk/mcp-k8s-go:latest docker run -p 8080:8080 -v $HOME/.kube:/root/.kube ghcr.io/strowk/mcp-k8s-go:latest
5. Basic configuration
The server looks for the following environment variables (use a .env file or your CI/CD secrets):
• KUBECONFIG – path to kubeconfig (defaults to ~/.kube/config)
• MCP_PORT – port to expose the MCP HTTP interface (default 8080)
• LOG_LEVEL – debug | info | warn | error (default info)
6. Start the server
MCP_PORT=8080 ./mcp-k8s
7. Verify
Open http://localhost:8080/healthz – returns 200 OK when the MCP server is healthy and able to reach the Kubernetes API.
