Frequently Asked Questions

How does the agent authenticate to the Kubernetes cluster?
Uses standard kubeconfig file. The MCP server respects your current context and RBAC permissions. Ensure your kubectl context has appropriate permissions.
Can agents modify Kubernetes resources?
The server supports both read and write operations. Write operations are subject to RBAC permissions. Use read-only roles for untrusted agents.
Does it support local clusters like minikube or kind?
Yes, as long as you can access them via kubeconfig. The MCP works with any Kubernetes cluster including Docker Desktop Kubernetes, minikube, kind, and cloud providers.
