gke-mcp
An open-source MCP server from Google for Google Kubernetes Engine.
What it does
An open-source MCP server from Google for Google Kubernetes Engine. It gives an AI agent tools to list, create, update and delete clusters and node pools, set up kubeconfig, deploy workloads, apply and delete Kubernetes manifests, read pod logs and events, query Cloud Logging, list recommendations and read release notes and changelogs, plus prompts for cost questions and upgrade risk reports. It is a Go binary installed with go install or an install script, or added as a Gemini CLI extension. It talks over stdio by default and can also serve Streamable HTTP on a local port. Manifest generation can call the Developer Knowledge API with an API key.
