Local DevOps MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides tools for local DevOps tasks, enabling AI assistants to interact with your local Docker environment, Kubernetes clusters, and system logs.

Features

🐳 Docker

Interact with your local Docker daemon:

• docker_list_containers: List running or all containers.

• docker_logs: Fetch logs from a container (with error highlighting 🔴).

• docker_restart: Restart a specific container.

• docker_inspect: Inspect container details.

☸️ Kubernetes

Interact with your local Kubernetes cluster (uses ~/.kube/config):

• k8s_list_pods: List pods in a namespace.

• k8s_pod_logs: Get logs from a pod.

• k8s_describe_pod: Get detailed pod information.

🖥️ System

Access local system information:

• system_open_ports: List open listening ports (requires lsof).

• system_logs: Read system logs (e.g., /var/log/system.log).
