### Description (declared)

# Talos MCP Server

Talos MCP Server runs as a Python stdio server. It calls a pinned talosctl binary. The server does not connect to Talos through a separate Python gRPC client.

Version 0.4.1 includes diagnostic warning fixes and dependency maintenance after the 0.4.0 breaking repair release. Its default profile is readonly. A separate write profile enables standalone operations when the operator supplies suitable Talos credentials. An exact tool allowlist can restrict either profile.

## Install a reviewed build

Use Python 3.10 or newer. Install a talosctl release that matches the Talos minor version on the node. This repository pins the default CLI release in .talosctl-version and records official release checksums in talosctl-checksums.txt. Install a reviewed wheel into a dedicated environment:

~~~sh
uv build --wheel
python3 -m venv /opt/talos-mcp/venv
/opt/talos-mcp/venv/bin/python -m pip install dist/talos_mcp_server-0.4.1-py3-none-any.whl
/opt/talos-mcp/venv/bin/talos-mcp-server --version
~~~

The package version is static metadata. A source checkout needs an editable install or a rebuilt wheel after code changes. A wheel install includes Python dependencies. Install talosctl separately and supply its absolute path with --talosctl.

The server can start without a Talos configuration file. In that state, talos_config_info, offline validation, and talos_version with client_only=true work. Authenticated node tools return CONFIG_REQUIRED. Set --talosconfig and, if needed, --context for cluster calls. The CLI uses that context for the server lifetime and passes it to each authenticated child.

## Dependency maintenance in 0.4.1

The repository lock includes security updates for the 41 advisories in the [initial triage](https://github.com/CBEPX/talos-mcp-server/blob/v0.4.1/docs/security/dependency-triage-20261024.md) and two additional advisories in the [dependency graph follow-up](https://github.com/CBEPX/talos-mcp-server/blob/v0.4.1/docs/security/dependency-f…
