Enables natural language Kubernetes cluster operations, SLO monitoring, and PromQL queries via Claude using the Model Context Protocol.
README
🤖 Kubernetes + Prometheus SRE MCP Server — natural language cluster ops, SLO monitoring, and PromQL queries via Claude
Natural language Kubernetes operations — powered by Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Built to scale from a single cluster to multi-cluster, multi-team enterprise environments.
🎯 What Is This?
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Kubernetes SRE operations as tools an AI assistant can call.
You: "Run the high error rate runbook for the production namespace"
Claude: [calls run_runbook → executes org-approved diagnosis sequence]
Step 1: Checked deployments — nginx (3/3), api-service (1/3 ⚠️)
Step 2: Found pod api-service-7f9d — 47 restarts, OOMKilled
Step 3: Warning events — OOMKilled x3 in last 10 minutes
Recommendation: Increase memory limit to 512Mi + scale to 5 replicas
✨ What's New in v2.0
| Feature | v1 | v2 |
|---|---|---|
| Clusters supported | 1 (hardcoded) | Many (dynamic context switching) |
| Write operations | Unrestricted | Policy-checked with guardrails |
| Audit trail | None | Full structured JSON log |
| Incident diagnosis | Ad-hoc | Encoded runbooks (standardized) |
| Operational consistency | Per-engineer | Org-wide enforced |

🚀 Quick Start
git clone https://github.com/ManishMaurya22/sre-mcp-server
cd sre-mcp-server
python3.11 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"sre-k8s": {
"command": "/Users/<YOUR_USERNAME>/sre-mcp-server/venv/bin/python",
"args": ["/Users/<YOUR_USERNAME>/sre-mcp-server/server.py"]
}
}
}
See docs/SETUP.md for full setup guide.
🔐 Policy Configuration
export POLICY_MAX_REPLICAS=30
export POLICY_SCALE_BLOCKED_NS="kube-system,gatekeeper-system"
export POLICY_PROD_NAMESPACES="production,prod"
export POLICY_PROD_MIN_REPLICAS=2
You: "Scale nginx to 0 in production"
Claude: ❌ Policy Denied — scaling to 0 not allowed in production (min: 2)
Operation audit-logged.
📋 Encoded Runbooks
Available: high_error_rate · node_pressure · deployment_rollback
You: "Run the high_error_rate runbook for production"
Claude runs in order:
1. get_deployments → spot unhealthy deployments
2. get_pods → check restart counts
3. get_events → surface warning signals
4. get_crashlooping_pods → cluster-wide check
+ surfaces remediation hints
