OpenShift MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to an OpenShift or Kubernetes cluster. It starts in a read-only mode, so your AI can look around without changing anything. It is handy if you work with clusters and want quick answers about pods, logs, or deployments without clicking through the web console.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI a question about your cluster, like what is running or why a pod is failing. Your AI uses this helper to talk to your OpenShift cluster using a login token. The helper fetches the answer, such as a list of projects, pod logs, or recent events. It shows you the result right in the chat. If you turn on higher modes, it can also scale workloads, restart deployments, or apply changes, but only after you approve.

What you can do with it

• Check which projects and namespaces you can see
• List pods, deployments, routes, services, and other resources
• Read the logs from a pod's container
• See recent events in a namespace
• Scale a deployment up or down (read-write mode)
• Restart a deployment (read-write mode)
• Apply or delete resources with extra safeguards and your confirmation

Try asking your AI

• “What projects do I have access to?”
• “Show me the logs for the pod my-app-123 in the my-project namespace”
• “Are there any recent events in the my-project namespace?”
• “Scale the my-app deployment to 3 replicas”

What it gives back to you

It gives you back lists, logs, event summaries, or details about a resource, shown as text in the chat. When it makes a change, it tells you what it did. Secret values are hidden from all output. If a change needs your approval, it pauses and asks you first.
