kubeview-mcp

A read-only Model Context Protocol server for Kubernetes diagnostics that provides a sandboxed TypeScript runtime. It allows agents to query Kubernetes, Helm, and Argo Workflows via a single run_code call, correlating results without exposing intermediate payloads to the model's context window.
