Usage with Claude Desktop
{
"mcpServers": {
"kubernetes": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-server-kubernetes"]
}
}
}
The server will automatically connect to your current kubectl context. Make sure you have:
- kubectl installed and in your PATH
- A valid kubeconfig file with contexts configured
- Access to a Kubernetes cluster configured for kubectl (e.g. minikube, Rancher Desktop, GKE, etc.)
You can verify your connection by asking Claude to list your pods or create a test deployment.
If you have errors, open up a standard terminal and run kubectl get pods to see if you can connect to your cluster without credentials issues.
