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. Its 40 documented tools cover logs, pipeline, analyze, pod. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People connecting developer tools tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Lumino MCP Server
before you install - you'll need
Set THANOS_URL, PROMETHEUS_TOKEN, PROMETHEUS_URL, LOG_LEVEL, MCP_SERVER_LOG_LEVEL before connecting. KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE is optional or environment-specific per the README.
Claude Code
claude mcp add spre-sre-lumino-mcp-server -- uvx lumino-mcp-server Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

02 · Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository
pypi package lumino-mcp-server - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry registry publisher io.github.geored is not the repo owner (spre-sre) - the registry entry was published by someone else
03 · What Lumino MCP Server can do
Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.
What you can build
With this server connected, an agent can list all namespaces in the cluster, list pods with status and placement info, get any Kubernetes resource with flexible output, and search resources across namespaces by labels.

06 · Lumino MCP Server FAQ
Is Lumino MCP Server still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-20. We re-verify nightly.
What can Lumino MCP Server do?
With this server connected, an agent can list all namespaces in the cluster, list pods with status and placement info, get any Kubernetes resource with flexible output, and search resources across namespaces by labels.
How do I install Lumino MCP Server?
Run `uvx lumino-mcp-server`. The README documents 6 environment variables (THANOS_URL, PROMETHEUS_TOKEN, KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE…) to set first. Set THANOS_URL, PROMETHEUS_TOKEN, PROMETHEUS_URL, LOG_LEVEL, MCP_SERVER_LOG_LEVEL before connecting. KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE is optional or environment-specific per the README. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Lumino MCP Server run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
