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:
-
Debug a failing service:
- "What pods are backing auth-service?" →
list_podswith service_name filter - "Is the pod healthy?" →
get_podfor detailed status - "Why won't it start?" →
get_eventsfor scheduling/pulling/startup events
- "What pods are backing auth-service?" →
-
Investigate pod issues:
- "Show me the logs" →
get_pod_logs - "What was the last error?" →
get_pod_logswith previous=true - "Check container status" →
get_podwith container details
- "Show me the logs" →
-
Verify service routing:
- "Which pods are ready?" →
get_endpointsshows ready vs not-ready addresses
- "Which pods are ready?" →
