Trust breakdown (7 categories)

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security98
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • 33 of 119 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability58
  • 50% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Partial
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).Partial
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 370 tokens (~123/item across 3 items; 2 tools + 1 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management83
  • Stability observed for 25 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety88
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 1 of 2 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "run_code" implies "execute" and declares readOnlyHint instead, contradicting what its own name says it does. See how to fix → Partial
  • An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
Install

How do I install the io.github.mikhae1/kubeview MCP server?

io.github.mikhae1/kubeview runs locally as an npm package, launched with npx -y kubeview-mcp. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 2 exposed · ~364 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
kube_pod_exec ~256

Execute a command in a container of a pod via the Kubernetes API (no kubectl). Captures stdout/stderr and returns them when the command completes.

NameTypeReqDescription
argsarrayExact argv to execute without a shell, e.g., ["/bin/ls","-la"]. Provide this OR command.
argvstringWhitespace-separated argv to execute without a shell (e.g., "/usr/bin/env printenv"). Convenience for CLI; prefer args[] when possible.
commandstringShell command to run. Defaults to trying /bin/bash first, then /bin/sh, then other common shells. Provide this OR args[].
containerstringContainer name (optional; defaults to first container)
namespacestringKubernetes namespace (defaults to "default")
podNamestringyesName of the target Pod
shellstringShell binary used when command is provided (default /bin/sh)

No examples provided.

run_code ~108

Execute bounded TypeScript with top-level await against progressively discovered Kubernetes capabilities. Use tools.list(), tools.search(), tools.help(), and typed namespaces; inspect tools.disabled() for policy denials. Return a value from the script. Full documentation and types are available through the code-mode prompt and file:///sys/global.d.ts.
