Prepare the server locally
Run this once before adding it to Claude Code.
git clone https://github.com/spre-sre/lumino-mcp-server.git
cd lumino-mcp-server
uv sync2
Register it in Claude Code
claude mcp add lumino -- "<ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_LUMINO>/.venv/bin/python" "<ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_LUMINO>/main.py"Replace any placeholder paths in the command with the real path on your machine.

LUMINO MCP Server
An open source MCP (Model Context Protocol) server empowering SREs with intelligent observability, predictive analytics, and AI-driven automation across Kubernetes, OpenShift, and Tekton environments.
Overview
LUMINO MCP Server transforms how Site Reliability Engineers (SREs) and DevOps teams interact with Kubernetes clusters. By exposing 37 specialized tools through the Model Context Protocol, it enables AI assistants to:
- Monitor cluster health, resources, and pipeline status in real-time
- Analyze logs, events, and anomalies using statistical and ML techniques
- Troubleshoot failed pipelines with automated root cause analysis
- Predict resource bottlenecks and potential issues before they occur
- Simulate configuration changes to assess impact before deployment
Features
Kubernetes & OpenShift Operations
- Namespace and pod management
- Resource querying with flexible output formats

Quick Start
Get started with LUMINO in under 2 minutes:
For Claude Code CLI Users (Easiest)
Simply ask Claude Code to provision the Lumino MCP server for you by pasting this prompt:
Provision the Lumino MCP server as a project-local MCP integration:
1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/spre-sre/lumino-mcp-server.git
2. Install Python dependencies using uv:
cd lumino-mcp-server && uv sync
3. Create .mcp.json in the current project root (NOT inside lumino-mcp-server) with this configuration.
IMPORTANT: Replace <ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_LUMINO> with the actual absolute path to the cloned lumino-mcp-server directory:
{
"mcpServers": {
"lumino": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "<ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_LUMINO>/.venv/bin/python",
"args": ["<ABSOLUTE_PATH_TO_LUMINO>/main.py"],
"env": {
"PYTHONUNBUFFERED": "1"
}
}
}
}
4. After creating .mcp.json, inform the user to:
- Exit Claude Code completely
- Connect to their Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster (kubectl/oc login)
- Restart Claude Code in this project directory
- They will see a prompt to approve the Lumino MCP server
- Once approved, Lumino tools will be available (check with /mcp command)
For Other MCP Clients
Choose your preferred installation method:
- MCPM (Recommended):
mcpm install @spre-sre/lumino-mcp-server - Manual Setup: See detailed MCP Client Integration instructions
Verify Installation
Once installed, test with a simple query:
"List all namespaces in my Kubernetes cluster"
