mirrord is an open-source tool that lets developers and AI coding agents run local processes as if they were pods in a live Kubernetes cluster, proxying traffic, environment variables, DNS, and files between local code and the cluster. It ships as a CLI, VS Code extension, and IntelliJ plugin, and supports AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Use cases
- debug a local microservice against real staging cluster services
- test AI-generated code against real databases and queues without deploying
- run local code with real environment variables and DNS from a Kubernetes pod
- mirror incoming traffic from a cluster pod to my local process
- give Claude Code or Cursor real Kubernetes context while coding
- run integration tests in CI against a shared staging cluster
- create preview environments connected to real cluster dependencies
When to choose
- you develop microservices that depend on other services in a Kubernetes cluster
- you want fast feedback without building images or deploying to staging
- you use AI coding agents and want them to verify code against real services
- your team shares a staging cluster and you want to avoid disrupting others
When to avoid
- your services run entirely locally with no Kubernetes dependencies
- you cannot or should not access a live cluster from your dev machine
- you need fully isolated ephemeral environments rather than shared cluster access
- your organization forbids routing production or staging traffic to developer machines
