KubeView is a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, etc.) safely inspect, diagnose, and debug Kubernetes clusters. It covers Kubernetes core, Helm, Argo Workflows, and Argo CD.
Run this in your terminal to verify the server starts. Then let us know if it worked — your result helps other developers.
npx -y 'kubeview-mcp' 2>&1 | head -1 && echo "✓ Server started successfully"
After testing, let us know if it worked:

| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
KUBECONFIG | Path to kubeconfig file | ~/.kube/config |
MCP_TRANSPORT | Transport: stdio (default) or http | stdio |
MCP_MODE | Server mode: all, code, or tools | all |
MCP_LOG_LEVEL | Log level: error, warn, info, debug | info |
MCP_HIDE_SENSITIVE | Mask sensitive data globally | false |
MCP_HTTP_HOST | HTTP bind host when MCP_TRANSPORT=http | 127.0.0.1 |
MCP_HTTP_PORT | HTTP port when MCP_TRANSPORT=http | 3000 |
MCP_HTTP_PATH | Streamable HTTP endpoint path | /mcp |
MCP_HTTP_STATELESS | Disable session IDs in HTTP mode | false |
MCP_HTTP_JSON_RESPONSE | Prefer JSON responses over SSE | false |
MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS | Comma-separated Host allowlist for HTTP mode | local defaults |
MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS | Comma-separated Origin allowlist for HTTP mode | unset |
KubeView can also run as a standalone Streamable HTTP server for hosted or manually managed deployments.
MCP_TRANSPORT=http \
MCP_HTTP_HOST=127.0.0.1 \
MCP_HTTP_PORT=3000 \
npx -y kubeview-mcp
This starts a Streamable HTTP endpoint at http://127.0.0.1:3000/mcp.
Notes:
stdio remains the default and is still the right choice for MCP client configs such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Codex CLI.MCP_HTTP_STATELESS=true disables session IDs. That is useful for simple request/response patterns, but stateful features such as plan_step history are not meaningful in that mode.0.0.0.0 or ::, you must set `MCP_ALLOWED_
