Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check MCP Openshift every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Put your own value in place of <OPENSHIFT_SERVER> (Cluster API server URL, e.g. https://api.cluster.example.com:6443). The author’s registry entry marks it as required.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: OPENSHIFT_TOKEN (Bearer token (console → user menu → Copy login command → Display Token, or `oc whoami -t`)), OPENSHIFT_USERNAME (Username for the cluster's local identity provider (alternative to a token)), OPENSHIFT_PASSWORD (Password for the local identity provider. Sent only to the cluster's OAuth server), OPENSHIFT_CA_CERT (Path to the cluster CA bundle (PEM) for TLS verification), OPENSHIFT_MODE (Access mode: read-only | read-write | admin. Starts read-only; writes need read-write).

MCP Openshift — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Openshift?
MCP Openshift runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @dockndevai/mcp-openshift was installed 42 times last week.
How do I connect MCP Openshift?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @dockndevai/mcp-openshift straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use MCP Openshift?
The npm package @dockndevai/mcp-openshift was installed 42 times in the last week. Week over week that is +0%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is MCP Openshift open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
