From the repository
Get started with LUMINO in under 2 minutes:
Once installed, test with a simple query:
"List all namespaces in my Kubernetes cluster"
uv sync
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
The server automatically detects Kubernetes configuration:
1. In-cluster config - When running inside a Kubernetes pod
2. Local kubeconfig - When running locally (uses ~/.kube/config)
| Variable | Description | Default | When to Use |
|----------|-------------|---------|-------------|
| KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE | Namespace for K8s mode | - | When running server inside a Kubernetes pod |
| K8S_NAMESPACE | Alternative namespace variable | - | Alternative to KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE |
| PROMETHEUS_URL | Prometheus server URL for metrics | Auto-detected | Custom Prometheus endpoint or non-standard port |
| KUBECONFIG | Path to kubeconfig file | ~/.kube/config | Multiple clusters or custom kubeconfig location |
| LOG_LEVEL | Logging verbosity (DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR) | INFO | Debugging issues or reducing log noise |
| MCP_SERVER_LOG_LEVEL | MCP framework log level | INFO | Troubleshooting MCP protocol issues |
| PYTHONUNBUFFERED | Disable Python output buffering | - | Recommended for MCP clients to see real-time logs |
bash
mcpm install @spre-sre/lumino-mcp-server
mcpm install @spre-sre/lumino-mcp-server --claude # For Claude Code CLI
mcpm install @spre-sre/lumino-mcp-server --gemini # For Gemini CLI
mcpm install @spre-sre/lumino-mcp-server --global
Short syntax explained:
- @owner/repo - Installs from GitHub (default: https://github.com/owner/repo.git)
- gl:@owner/repo - Installs from GitLab (https://gitlab.com/owner/repo.git)
- Full URL - Works with any Git repository
This will:
- Clone the repository to ~/.mcp/servers/lumino-mcp-server/
- Auto-detect Python project and install dependencies using uv (or pip)
- Register with Claude Code CLI or Gemini CLI configuration automatically
mcpm list
If you prefer manual setup or need to configure Claude Desktop / Cursor, follow these client-specific guides:
Replace /path/to/lumino-mcp-server with the actual path where you cloned the repository:
bash
After configuring any client, test the connection:
1. Check if tools are loaded:
- Claude Desktop: Look for 🔨 hammer icon
- Claude Code CLI: claude mcp list
- Gemini CLI: gemini mcp list
- Cursor: Check AI chat for available tools
2. Test a simple query:
"List all namespaces in my Kubernetes cluster"
3. Check server logs (if issues):
```bash
Server Resource Requirements
| Deployment | CPU | Memory | Disk |
|------------|-----|--------|------|
| Local (stdio) | 100-500m | 256-512Mi | Minimal |
| Kubernetes | 200m-1 | 512Mi-1Gi | Minimal |
| High-load | 1-2 | 1-2Gi | Minimal |
Note: LUMINO is stateless and requires minimal resources. Most processing happens in the AI assistant.

Overview
LUMINO MCP Server transforms how Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) and DevOps teams interact with Kubernetes clusters. By exposing 37 specialized tools through the Model Context Protocol, it enables AI assistants to:
- Monitor cluster health, resources, and pipeline status in real-time
- Analyze logs, events, and anomalies using statistical and ML techniques
- Troubleshoot failed pipelines with automated root cause analysis
- Predict resource bottlenecks and potential issues before they occur
- Simulate configuration changes to assess impact before deployment

Get started with LUMINO in under 2 minutes:
For Claude Code CLI Users (Easiest)
Simply ask Claude Code to provision the Lumino MCP server for you by pasting this prompt:
Provision the Lumino MCP server as a project-local MCP integration:
1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/spre-sre/lumino-mcp-server.git
2. Install Python dependencies using uv:
cd lumino-mcp-server && uv sync
3. Create .mcp.json in the current project root (NOT inside lumino-mcp-server) with this configuration.
IMPORTANT: Replace <ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_LUMINO> with the actual absolute path to the cloned lumino-mcp-server directory:
{
"mcpServers": {
"lumino": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "<ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_LUMINO>/.venv/bin/python",
"args": ["<ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_LUMINO>/main.py"],
"env": {
"PYTHONUNBUFFERED": "1"
}
}
}
}
4. After creating .mcp.json, inform the user to:
- Exit Claude Code completely
- Connect to their Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster (kubectl/oc login)
- Restart Claude Code in this project directory
- They will see a prompt to approve the Lumino MCP server
- Once approved, Lumino tools will be available (check with /mcp command)

Choose your preferred installation method:
- MCPM (Recommended): mcpm install @spre-sre/lumino-mcp-server
- Manual Setup: See detailed MCP Client Integration instructions
Verify Installation
Once installed, test with a simple query:
"List all namespaces in my Kubernetes cluster"
