Description
The Kubernetes MCP server (mcp-server-kubernetes, built by Flux159) brings cluster management capabilities into AI assistant workflows, letting developers and platform engineers query and manage Kubernetes resources through natural-language interactions with Claude, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients. It loads your existing kubeconfig automatically, so it works with any cluster — local minikube and kind setups, Amazon EKS, Google GKE, Azure AKS, or on-premises deployments — with no separate credential setup required. Core tools exposed by the server include: listing pods, deployments, services, and namespaces; describing individual resources and their status; fetching pod logs for debugging; applying and updating manifests; scaling deployments; checking rollout status and history; and querying resource utilization and cluster events. A built-in non-destructive mode can disable delete/scale-down operations entirely, making it safe to point at production clusters for read-only diagnostics. DevOps engineers use it to debug failing deployments by asking Claude to inspect pod logs and recent events, identify resource constraints causing OOMKilled pods, or summarize the current state of a namespace before a production release. For SREs responding to incidents, it enables rapid triage through conversational commands — no memorizing kubectl flags or switching terminal windows mid-incident — and optional OpenTelemetry integration adds observability into what the AI agent actually did against the cluster. Install with: `npx mcp-server-kubernetes`. Pairs well with the GitHub MCP server for full GitOps review workflows.
The Supabase MCP server brings the power of your Supabase backend directly into your AI assistant, enabling conversational access to database, authentication, storage, and edge function features. With this server, developers can ask Claude or Cursor to query Postgres tables, inspect database schemas, manage user auth flows, upload or read files from Supabase Storage buckets, and test Edge Functions without ever leaving their IDE or chat window. This dramatically accelerates backend development and debugging by letting AI agents both read live state and perform safe, constrained operations against your project. Common use cases include asking the AI to "generate a SQL migration for a new profiles table and apply it", "check why the last auth webhook failed in the logs", or "list all users who signed up today and export their emails". It requires a Supabase Management API token and your project reference ID to authenticate. Perfect for full-stack developers building Next.js apps with Supabase, it effectively turns your AI into an expert database administrator and backend co-pilot that inherently understands your project's specific schema and row-level security policies.
