About aks-mcp
Azure/aks-mcp
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to interact with AKS clusters. It serves as a bridge between AI tools (like Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot) and AKS.
Implements flexible Azure authentication (service principal, workload identity, managed identity) via Azure CLI, with role-based access control (readonly/readwrite/admin) to gate sensitive operations. Provides unified tools for Azure CLI operations, AKS cluster management, network resources, monitoring/diagnostics, and node-level log collection, supporting both modern and legacy tool interfaces for backward compatibility.
About mcp-kubernetes
Azure/mcp-kubernetes
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to interact with Kubernetes clusters. It serves as a bridge between AI tools (like Claude, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot) and Kubernetes
Implements a unified `call_kubectl` tool that consolidates operations into a single interface (reducing context overhead compared to legacy multi-tool approaches), while supporting role-based access control through `readonly`, `readwrite`, and `admin` modes that filter operations at registration time. Integrates with kubectl and optional ecosystem tools (Helm, Cilium, Hubble), communicating via stdio transport by default and supporting OpenTelemetry tracing for observability.
