Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ksail": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/devantler-tech/ksail:v7.212.7"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add ksail -- docker run -i --rm ghcr.io/devantler-tech/ksail:v7.212.7

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ksail": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/devantler-tech/ksail:v7.212.7"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "ksail": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/devantler-tech/ksail:v7.212.7"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is KSail safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 –, and the latest version (7.212.7) reached the registry today.

Which apps can use it?

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

What can I use instead?

🛥️🐳 KSail

KSail brings Kubernetes cluster setup, application deployment and everyday operations into one tool. Create local clusters with Docker, or work with supported cloud providers and existing Kubernetes clusters. Use it from your terminal, VS Code or an AI assistant.

📖 [Documentation](https://ksail.devantler.tech) · [Quickstart](https://ksail.devantler.tech/start/quickstart/) · [Support](#community--support)

What you get

Task	Included tools and capabilities
Create clusters	Kind, K3d, Talos, vCluster, KWOK, EKS, GKE and AKS
Deploy applications	kubectl, Helm, Kustomize, Flux and ArgoCD
Protect configuration	Encrypt secrets with SOPS and Age; validate manifests with Kubeconform
Operate clusters	K9s, backup and restore, multi-tenancy
Work with AI	Chat assistant, MCP server and VS Code extension

See features and the support matrix for supported platforms and combinations. KWOK simulates clusters; it does not run applications. Cloud providers need their own setup and incur charges.

Quick install

On Linux or an Apple Silicon Mac, with curl, tar and sha256sum or shasum available:

curl -fsSL https://github.com/devantler-tech/ksail/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh

The installer verifies the download and prints where it installed KSail. Follow its PATH instruction if needed. Prefer Homebrew or a Windows download? See installation options.

Quick start

Create a project in a new directory:

mkdir my-app

cd my-app ksail project init --name my-app --distribution Vanilla --provider Docker

This creates your project files without needing Docker or a cloud account. With Docker Engine or Docker Desktop running, start and explore a local cluster:

ksail cluster create

ksail cluster connect

This creates a local Kubernetes cluster and opens K9s to explore it. Enter :quit to leave K9s. When finished, delete the trial cluster and its applications:

ksail cluster delete --name my-app --provider Docker

Review the cluster name and confirm deletion when prompted. Project files remain for reuse.

Continue with the quickstart guide to deploy an application. The reader reference covers local setup details, cloud providers and optional AI assistant plugins.
