Overview

What is Mcp Cluster Api?

capi-mcp is a tool that integrates Cluster API (CAPI) resources with the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling programmatic and prompt-based management of Kubernetes clusters and machines. It is designed for Kubernetes operators and developers who manage clusters declaratively using CAPI.

How to use Mcp Cluster Api?

Build the binary with make build (requires Go, Make, npm, kubectl, and a valid kubeconfig).
