inspektor-gadget/ig-mcp-server
Inspektor Gadget MCP Server is an AI-driven Kubernetes cluster debugging and inspection tool that provides one-click deployment, intelligent analysis, and automatic discovery.
See repository
Setup steps are in the repository README.
The Inspektor Gadget MCP Server bridges Inspektor Gadget's low-level kernel observability with LLMs through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It turns raw eBPF-powered telemetry—DNS traces, TCP connections, process executions, file activity, syscalls, and more—into actionable intelligence that AI agents can reason over, enabling data-driven root cause analysis directly from your IDE or AI chat interface.
AI-powered root cause analysis — LLMs correlate low-level kernel data across multiple gadgets to pinpoint issues with confidence, replacing guesswork with evidence.
Full gadget lifecycle management — Deploy, run, stop, and retrieve results from Inspektor Gadget tools without ever leaving your AI chat.
Foreground & background modes — Run gadgets in foreground for quick debugging or in background for continuous observability, then retrieve results when ready.
Dynamic tool registration — Each gadget becomes its own MCP tool (e.g., gadget_trace_dns, gadget_trace_tcp), with parameters, field descriptions, and filtering automatically generated from gadget…
Read-only mode — Restrict the server to non-destructive operations for safe production use.
Flexible deployment — Run as a local binary (stdio), Docker container, or deploy directly into your Kubernetes cluster (HTTP transport).
