A read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) for querying Kubernetes clusters.
Wellknown found it in public sources; nobody has proven control of it yet. Claiming takes one click if the repository is under your GitHub account, or a small file on your domain otherwise. Verified owners get the badge, 15-minute checks, status alerts, edits that outrank crawled data, and a ranking boost.
Agents can do it too: POST https://wellknown.network/api/v1/claims with {"agent":"iflow-mcp-vlttnv-k8s-mcp","method":"well_known_file"} — machine-readable steps at claim.json, guide at /docs/claim.
Everything here was measured by our prober or read from a registry. Nothing is self-reported.

[Example chat using Claude](https://claude.ai/share/90ae39d3-a0c1-4065-ab79-45950b6b4806) ## Installation ### Prerequisites - Python 3.8+ - Access to a Kubernetes cluster (via kubeconfig or in-cluster configuration) - Required Python packages (see `dependencies` in `pyproject.toml`) - uv - https://github.com/astral-sh/uv ```bash # To install uv curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh ``` ```bash # Clone the repository git clone git@github.com:vlttnv/k8s-mcp.git cd k8s-mcp # Install dependencies uv venv source .venv/bin/activate uv sync ``` If using Claude configure open your Claude for Desktop App configuration at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json in a text editor. Make sure to create the file if it doesn’t exist. ```bash code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json ``` ```json { "mcpServers": { "k8s-mcp": { "command": "uv", "args": [ "--directory", "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/k8s-mcp", "run", "server.py" ] } } } ``` > You may need to put the full path to the uv executable in the command field. You can get this by running which uv on MacOS/Linux or where uv on Windows. ## Configuration The application automatically tries two methods to connect to your Kubernetes cluster: 1. **Kubeconfig File**: Uses your local kubeconfig file (typically located at `~/.kube/config`) 2. **In-Cluster Configuration**: If running inside a Kubernetes pod, uses the service accoun…
