DevOps MCP

devops-mcp is an open source Model Context Protocol server that gives AI agents (Claude, etc.) real-time read and write access to your infrastructure stack - all from a single install. Its 40 documented tools cover k8s, prom, argo, resource. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with k8s, prom and argo and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install DevOps MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set ARGOCD_SERVER, ARGOCD_TOKEN, PROMETHEUS_URL, PAGERDUTY_TOKEN, LOKI_URL, LOKI_TOKEN, MCP_HTTP_HOST, MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS before connecting. K8S_CONTEXT, K8S_ALLOWED_NAMESPACES, MCP_AUTH_TOKEN, MCP_REQUEST_STATE_SECRET are optional or environment-specific per the README.

Claude Code

claude mcp add notharshhaa-devops-mcp -- npx -y @notharshhaa/devops-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "notharshhaa-devops-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@notharshhaa/devops-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

03 · What DevOps MCP can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

What you can build

With this server connected, an agent can list pods with status, restarts, node, age, compare current resource state vs last-applied-configuration, trigger rolling restart of a deployment or statefulset, and delete a named resource - requires direct or interactive confirmation.

What can DevOps MCP do?

How do I install DevOps MCP?

Run `npx -y @notharshhaa/devops-mcp`. The README documents 12 environment variables (ARGOCD_SERVER, ARGOCD_TOKEN, PROMETHEUS_URL…) to set first. Set ARGOCD_SERVER, ARGOCD_TOKEN, PROMETHEUS_URL, PAGERDUTY_TOKEN, LOKI_URL, LOKI_TOKEN, MCP_HTTP_HOST, MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS before connecting. K8S_CONTEXT, K8S_ALLOWED_NAMESPACES, MCP_AUTH_TOKEN, MCP_REQUEST_STATE_SECRET are optional or environment-specific per the README. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does DevOps MCP run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
