The Kubernetes plugin provides access to the following resources from Kubernetes clusters:
  • Pods
  • Services
  • Deployments
  • ReplicaSets
  • StatefulSets
  • Jobs
  • CronJobs
  • Namespaces
  • Nodes (cluster nodes)
No MCP tools are currently available for this plugin.

​
Prerequisites

You should have access to a Kubernetes cluster and valid credentials configured through one of the following methods:
  • kubectl config: Have kubectl installed and configured (the plugin uses the same authentication as kubectl)
  • Kubeconfig file: Ensure ~/.kube/config exists or set the KUBECONFIG environment variable
  • In-cluster authentication: If running inside a Kubernetes pod with a service account
  • Manual kubeconfig: Specify a custom path to your kubeconfig file
The plugin uses the kr8s library under the hood, which follows the same credential lookup order as kubectl:
  1. ~/.kube/config (or path set by KUBECONFIG environment variable)
  2. /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount (for in-cluster service accounts)

​
Configuration

Configure the Kubernetes plugin by running uv run unpage configure or by editing the ~/.unpage/profiles/<profile_name>/config.yaml file: 
plugins:
  # ...
  kubernetes:
    enabled: true
The plugin will automatically use your existing kubectl configuration. No additional settings are required unless you need to specify a custom kubeconfig file or context.
