“List every pod in the `production` namespace and show which ones are not Running”
Uses: list_pods
“Get the last 200 log lines from the `api-server` pod”
Uses: list_pods, get_logs
“Scale `web` deployment to 5 replicas in namespace `production`”
Uses: scale_deployment
“Describe the `payments-worker` pod and tell me why it keeps restarting”

If Kubernetes doesn't fit your stack, these Cloud Platforms MCP servers solve similar problems.
The Kubernetes MCP server is an Cloud Platforms Model Context Protocol server that lets Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot, and other MCP-compatible AI agents cluster operations — pods, deployments, services. It exposes Kubernetes's capabilities as tools the AI can call directly from your editor or CLI.
The fastest way is the MCPizy CLI: run `mcpizy install kubernetes` and MCPizy will add the server to your `.claude.json` automatically. You can also install it manually by adding an entry under `mcpServers` in `.claude.json` with the command `npx -y mcp-server-kubernetes` and restarting Claude Code.
Yes. The Kubernetes MCP server is free and open source (see the GitHub repository linked on this page). You may still need a Kubernetes account or API key to connect the server to the underlying service, but the MCP layer itself has no MCPizy subscription cost.
Yes. Any MCP-compatible client works — including Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor (via `.cursor/mcp.json`), Windsurf, VS Code with Copilot Chat, and custom agents built on the MCP SDK. The same install command targets all of them; only the config file path differs.
Once installed, your AI agent can cluster operations — pods, deployments, services directly inside your conversation. Typical use cases include asking Claude Code or Cursor to run Kubernetes operations, inspect results, chain Kubernetes with other MCP servers (see our Workflow Recipes), and automate repetitive cloud platforms tasks without leaving your editor.
