MCP Tools Reference: container.googleapis.com

Tool: kube_get

Gets one or more Kubernetes resources from a cluster. Resources can be filtered by type, name, namespace, and label selectors. Returns the resources in YAML format. This is similar to running kubectl get.

The following sample demonstrate how to use curl to invoke the kube_get MCP tool.
