## 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…
