## What it is
An MCP server written in TypeScript that lets AI assistants like Claude and Codex connect to and manage Kubernetes clusters via kubectl and Helm. It loads kubeconfig from multiple sources and exposes cluster management commands as MCP tools.

## Use cases
- manage kubernetes clusters from claude desktop
- let an ai assistant run kubectl commands
- deploy helm charts through an mcp server
- inspect pods and resources in a cluster via llm
- connect codex cli to a kubernetes cluster
- troubleshoot kubernetes workloads with an ai agent

## When to choose
- you use Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Codex and want natural-language Kubernetes management
- you already have kubectl and a kubeconfig configured and want an MCP bridge
- you want Helm v3 operations exposed to an AI assistant

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone Kubernetes dashboard or GUI without an AI assistant
- your environment lacks kubectl or cluster access
- you need non-MCP programmatic Kubernetes APIs - use the official client libraries instead
