MCP Openshift runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 42 installs a week from npm. Last commit 2 Nov 2026.
Safe-by-default MCP for OpenShift / Kubernetes: projects, pods, logs, deployments, routes.
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.
This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

<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).
