This project integrates a Kubernetes cluster with Cline through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling direct interaction with Kubernetes resources.

Kubernetes MCP Server

Overview

This project integrates a Kubernetes cluster with Cline through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. The MCP server provides a set of tools that allow Cline to interact with Kubernetes resources directly.

What We've Accomplished

  1. Local Kubernetes Cluster Setup

    • Installed and configured Minikube to run a single-node Kubernetes cluster
    • Set up the necessary dependencies (conntrack, cri-dockerd, CNI plugins)
    • Configured the cluster to be accessible from the user's environment

  2. Sample Application Deployment

    • Deployed a sample nginx application with 2 replicas
    • Created a ClusterIP service to expose the nginx pods
    • Verified the deployment is running correctly

  3. MCP Server Integration

    • Configured the Kubernetes MCP server to connect to the local cluster
    • Updated the necessary configuration files and certificates
    • Tested the integration by successfully listing resources

MCP Server Capabilities

The Kubernetes MCP server provides the following capabilities:

Cluster Information

  • Get information about the current Kubernetes cluster

Pod Management

  • List pods in a namespace with optional label filtering
  • Get detailed information about a specific pod
  • Retrieve logs from a pod

Service Management

  • List services in a namespace with optional label filtering
  • Get detailed information about a specific service

Deployment Management

  • List deployments in a namespace with optional label filtering
  • Get detailed information about a specific deployment

Node Management

  • List all nodes in the cluster with optional label filtering
  • Get detailed information about a specific node

Namespace Management

  • List all namespaces in the cluster

ConfigMap Management

  • List configmaps in a namespace with optional label filtering
  • Get detailed information about a specific configmap

Benefits

  1. Seamless Integration: Interact with Kubernetes directly from Cline without switching contexts
  2. Simplified Workflow: Use natural language to manage Kubernetes resources
  3. Enhanced Productivity: Quickly retrieve information about your cluster and applications
  4. Safe Operations: The MCP server is configured in read-only mode to prevent accidental changes

Future Enhancements

Potential future enhancements for the Kubernetes MCP server include:

  1. Adding support for more Kubernetes resource types (e.g., StatefulSets, DaemonSets)
  2. Implementing write operations with proper safeguards
  3. Adding support for multiple clusters
  4. Implementing resource watching capabilities for real-time updates
