kubectl-mcp-server and mcp-for-argocd
These are complementary tools: kubectl-mcp-server provides direct Kubernetes cluster management via MCP, while mcp-for-argocd layers GitOps-based deployment orchestration on top of Kubernetes, allowing them to be used together for both cluster operations and declarative application delivery.
