Common questions

Is Ocm MCP Server safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 14 days ago, and the latest version (0.6.0) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv), Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

AgentOps for Kubernetes fleets, done safely.

An MCP server that lets AI agents operate a multi-cluster Kubernetes fleet through an [Open Cluster Management](https://open-cluster-management.io/) hub, with policy, approval, and audit between the model and your clusters.

*The agent never holds a kubeconfig. Every write is policy-checked, human-approved, and traced.*

[📦 Get it](#where-to-get-it-and-how-its-vetted) · [✨ Why](#why-this-exists) · [🔌 Connect your agent](#connect-your-agent---any-mcp-client-works) · [🧭 Architecture](#architecture) · [🧰 Toolsets](#toolsets) · [🛠️ Tools](#tools) · [💬 Prompts](#prompts) · [🔭 Observability](#observability---audit-tracing-opentelemetryjaeger-metrics) · [🚀 Quickstart](#quickstart-laptop-15-minutes) · [📖 Wiki](https://github.com/ocm-mcp-server/ocm-mcp-server/wiki) · [📚 Docs](#documentation)

The whole safe-remediation loop: investigate with free reads, propose a change, get rejected by the guardrails and correct it, wait for a human-signed token, apply, verify, and report from the audit log.

Where to get it, and how it's vetted

📦 [PyPI - `ocm-mcp-server`](https://pypi.org/project/ocm-mcp-server/) - pip install ocm-mcp-server (or run directly with uvx ocm-mcp-server). Every release is published straight from CI via OIDC trusted publishing - no long-lived tokens anywhere.
🗂️ [Official MCP Registry](https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/?q=ocm-mcp-server) - listed as io.github.ocm-mcp-server/ocm-mcp-server, so any MCP client or platform that browses the registry can discover and auto-configure this server (package, transport, and required env vars are all in the listing); the registry validates the listing against this repo and the PyPI package.
🐳 [Container image on GHCR](https://github.com/ocm-mcp-server/ocm-mcp-server/pkgs/container/ocm-mcp-server) - docker run ghcr.io/ocm-mcp-server/ocm-mcp-server (kubeconfig mount shown in the deployment guide); built in CI with an SBOM and SLSA provenance attached, vulnerability-gated with Trivy, and signed keyless with Cosign so you can verify what you run.
🛡️ [OpenSSF Scorecard](https://scorecard.dev/viewer/?uri=github.com/ocm-mcp-server/ocm-mcp-server) - the repo's supply-chain security posture (pinned dependencies, branch protection, signed releases, ...) is scored automatically every week and published for anyone to inspect.

Why this exists

Your team runs many Kubernetes clusters. Sooner or later somebody asks the question: can an AI agent take the 2 a.m. page?

The quickest way to find out is to hand a model kubectl with cluster-admin and watch. In production that experiment ends badly, for three separate reasons:

The model is non-deterministic. The same alert can produce a careful diagnosis one run and a kubectl delete the next.
The credentials are real. There is no dry run between the model's decision and your production cluster.
There is no record. When something breaks, you cannot reconstruct what the agent did, in what order, or on whose authority.

This project starts from a different observation: fleets already have a control point that humans trust every day, the multi-cluster hub. Open Cluster Management (a CNCF project) gives every fleet an inventory (ManagedCluster), a scheduler (Placement), and a delivery channel (ManifestWork). ocm-mcp-server exposes that hub to agents as a small set of typed MCP tools, and puts four independent layers between the model and your clusters:

#	Layer	Enforced by	What it stops
1	Static checks	this server, before anything else	privileged pods, host access, system namespaces, unpinned images, disallowed kinds
2	Policy admission	Kyverno dry-run on the hub	anything your org's policies reject, evaluated inside the `ManifestWork` envelope
3	Human approval	Ed25519 token signed by `ocm-mcp approve` on a trusted terminal; the server needs only the public verifier key	any change reaching a cluster without a person consenting to that exact content and operation (one-time token, bound to content + operation + issuer/audience + expiry)
4	Least-privilege RBAC	Kubernetes	everything else; no Secrets, no exec, no deletes outside its own ManifestWorks

None of these layers live in the system prompt, so none of them can be talked out of.

A write is two calls with a person between them. The token is bound to one content hash and one operation, it expires on its own, and offered a second time it is refused.

Two writes, the same four gates. The privileged, unpinned one dies at Layer 1 and never reaches a cluster; the compliant one waits for a person to sign the exact content, then lands and is verified.

A fleet operator's day with Claude , live from a cold start: install from PyPI, claude mcp add , inventory the fleet, reason about placement — then ship a new service the gated way: the privileged :latest shortcut is refused , the pinned proposal is signed by a human , applied with the token, verified, and the whole day is read back from the audit trail . — narrated MP4 · terminal cast .

The same day, driven by four different agents. Identical ten chapters, identical server - only the agent asking changes, which is the whole point of speaking MCP rather than shipping a client. Codex · Gemini (Antigravity CLI) . Re-record any
