Installation
# clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/wenhuwang/mcp-k8s-eye.git
cd mcp-k8s-eye
# build the binary
go build -o mcp-k8s-eyeUsage
Stdio mode
{
"mcpServers": {
"k8s eye": {
"command": "YOUR mcp-k8s-eye PATH",
"env": {
"HOME": "USER HOME DIR"
},
}
}
}`env.HOME` is used to set the HOME directory for kubeconfig file.
SSE mode
1. start your mcp sse server
2. config your mcp server
{
"mcpServers": {
"k8s eye": {
"url": "http://localhost:8080/sse",
"env": {}
}
}
