Full changelog

MCP Kubernetes Discovery Enhancements

Expands MCP server capabilities with comprehensive Kubernetes read operations for debugging and discovery. Previously, users could not inspect Kubernetes resources beyond forwarded services through the MCP interface.

New MCP Tools (5 tools)

| Tool | Description | Key Parameters |
|------|-------------|----------------|
| get_pod_logs | Get container logs from a pod | namespace, pod_name, tail_lines, previous, timestamps |
| list_pods | List pods with status/ready/restarts | namespace, label_selector, service_name |
| get_pod | Detailed pod info (containers, conditions, resources) | namespace, pod_name |
| get_events | K8s events for debugging startup failures | namespace, resource_kind, resource_name, limit |
| get_endpoints | Service endpoints showing backing pods | namespace, service_name |

Use Cases

Claude Desktop (or any MCP client) can now:

  1. Debug a failing service:

    • "What pods are backing auth-service?" → list_pods with service_name filter
    • "Is the pod healthy?" → get_pod for detailed status
    • "Why won't it start?" → get_events for scheduling/pulling/startup events
  2. Investigate pod issues:

    • "Show me the logs" → get_pod_logs
    • "What was the last error?" → get_pod_logs with previous=true
    • "Check container status" → get_pod with container details
  3. Verify service routing:

    • "Which pods are ready?" → get_endpoints shows ready vs not-ready addresses
