Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name

- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Clone the repository, build the binary with Go 1.23 or higher, and configure it as an MCP server in either Stdio mode (pointing to the binary and setting HOME for kubeconfig) or SSE mode (starting the SSE server and providing the URL). Use the provided tools such as resource_get, deployment_scale, pod_exec, pod_analyze, and workload_resource_usage via your AI client.
resource_get
Get detailed resource information about a specific resource in a namespace
resource_list
List detailed resource information about all resources in a namespace
resource_create_or_update
Create or update a resource in a namespace
resource_delete
Delete a resource in a namespace
resource_describe
Describe a resource detailed information in a namespace
deployment_scale
Scale a deployment in a namespace
pod_exec
Execute a command in a pod in a namespace`
pod_logs
Get logs from a pod in a namespace
pod_analyze
Diagnose all pods in a namespace
deployment_analyze
Diagnose all deployments in a namespace
statefulset_analyze
Diagnose all statefulsets in a namespace
service_analyze
Diagnose all services in a namespace
cronjob_analyze
Diagnose all cronjobs in a namespace
ingress_analyze
Diagnose all ingresses in a namespace
networkpolicy_analyze
Diagnose all networkpolicies in a namespace
validatingwebhook_analyze
Diagnose all validatingwebhooks
mutatingwebhook_analyze
Diagnose all mutatingwebhooks
node_analyze
Diagnose all nodes in cluster
workload_resource_usage
Get pod/deployment/replicaset/statefulset resource usage in a namepace (cpu, memory)

Installation
# clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/wenhuwang/mcp-k8s-eye.git
cd mcp-k8s-eye
build the binary
go build -o mcp-k8s-eye
Usage
Stdio mode
{
"mcpServers": {
"k8s eye": {
"command": "YOUR mcp-k8s-eye PATH",
"env": {
"HOME": "USER HOME DIR"
},
}
}
}
env.HOME` is used to set the HOME directory for kubeconfig file.
SSE mode
1. start your mcp sse server 2. config your mcp server{
"mcpServers": {
"k8s eye": {
"url": "http://localhost:8080/sse",
"env": {}
}
}
}
