Kubernetes MCP (Cluster Operations)

Use Kubernetes MCP tools to query cluster resources for diagnostics and verification.

Tools

Listing Resources

# List all pods in a namespace
kubernetes_listResources({
  kind: "Pod",
  namespace: "my-service"
})

# List deployments
kubernetes_listResources({
  kind: "Deployment",
  namespace: "my-service"
})

Getting Resource Details

# Get pod details
kubernetes_getResource({
  kind: "Pod",
  name: "my-service-abc123",
  namespace: "my-service"
})

# Get service endpoints
kubernetes_getResource({
  kind: "Service",
  name: "my-service",
  namespace: "my-service"
})

Common Resources

Infrastructure Verification

# Verify database is ready
kubernetes_getResource({
  kind: "Cluster",
  name: "my-db",
  namespace: "my-service"
})
# Check: status.phase == "Cluster in healthy state"

# Verify Redis is running
kubernetes_listResources({
  kind: "Pod",
  namespace: "my-service",
  labelSelector: "app=redis"
})

Best Practices

1. Always specify namespace - Avoid cluster-wide queries
2. Check status fields - Not just existence
3. Use label selectors - Filter relevant resources
4. Verify before proceeding - Wait for Ready status
