Building Strimzi MCP Server for Kubernetes: Democratizing Platform Exper...
summary
An open source Strimzi MCP server built in Java with Quarkus connects LLM agents to Kubernetes via a read-only interface, exposing 55 tools (kubectl-like queries, log and metric fetchers, prompt templates, diagnostics) and pluggable metric/log providers (direct pod scraping or Prometheus and Loki). Demos work: the MCP triages incidents, finds a degraded Kafka cluster caused by a 50m CPU limit that rolled pods, redacts secrets, runs locally or in-cluster, and plans impersonation and Kafka Admin API integration.
