KSail MCP Server

by devantler-tech Your server? Claim it
local only

KSail runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. Last commit 18 Sep 2026.

SDK for creating, managing, and operating Kubernetes clusters and workloads with ease.

What the code does

We read the source, 22 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

      env:

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch KSail and you get told the day something new turns up.

KSail — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for KSail?
KSail runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone.
Is KSail open source?
We cannot say either way: written in Go, 165 stars on GitHub and 98 open issues, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
