About Kubernetes MCP Server (containers)

This Kubernetes MCP server, a native Go implementation from the containers organisation, supports Kubernetes and OpenShift. It performs create, read, update and delete operations on any resource, provides pod-specific operations such as logs and exec, and watches the kubeconfig or in-cluster configuration for changes.

Kubernetes MCP Server (containers) is listed in this index written primarily in Go, with 2.2k stars on GitHub. Its latest recorded repository push was in November 2026; that is not an ASE editorial review date.

Before connecting: access and data

This record's specific permissions have not been reviewed by ASE. Read the publisher's documentation before copying setup or connecting.

List the accounts, files and services the enabled tools can read, change or execute. Check your actual credentials and discovered tools.
Use narrowly scoped credentials and read-only mode where supported. Review proposed writes before approving them; a generated configuration does not apply these limits for you.
Local launch is not local-only data processing. External services receive requests, and your client may pass tool results to its model provider. Check both destinations before sharing private data.
Keep keys and browser session files out of shared config, repositories and screenshots. Know how to disconnect the server and separately revoke its credentials or account sessions.
