โจ Overview
This project combines the power of AI with Kubernetes management. Users can perform real-time diagnostics, resource monitoring, and smart log analysis. It simplifies Kubernetes management through conversational AI, providing a modern alternative.
๐ก Just ask questions naturally - no need to memorize commands!
๐๏ธ Project Structure
The project is organized into the following modules:
- agent: Agent mode backed by Rest API to analyze the cluster using natural language
- mcp-server: MCP server backed by tools which can be integrated with MCP host (like Claude desktop) to provide a full experience
- tools: Kubernetes tools for cluster analysis/management (used by both agent and mcp-server)
๐ Features
This AI-powered system understands natural language queries about your Kubernetes cluster. Here are some of the capabilities provided by the system which can be queried using natural language:
๐ฅ Cluster Health and Diagnostics
- "What's the status of my cluster?"
- "Show me all pods in the default namespace"
- "Are there any failing pods? in default namespace"
- "What's using the most resources in my cluster?"
- "Give me a complete health check of the cluster"
- "Are there any nodes not in Ready state?"
- "Show me pods in default namespace that have been running for more than 7 days"
- "Identify any pods running in default namespace with high restart counts"
๐ Network Analysis
- "Show me the logs for the payment service"
- "List all ingresses in the cluster"
- "Show me all services and their endpoints"
- "Check if my service 'api-gateway' has any endpoints"
- "Show me all exposed services with external IPs"
๐พ Storage Management
- "List all persistent volumes in the cluster"
- "Show me storage claims that are unbound"
- "What storage classes are available in the cluster?"
- "Which pods are using persistent storage?"
- "Are there any storage volumes nearing capacity?"
โฑ๏ธ Job and CronJob Analysis
- "List all running jobs in the batch namespace"
- "Show me failed jobs from the last 24 hours"
- "What CronJobs are scheduled to run in the next hour?"
- "Show me the execution history of the 'backup' job"
โ Helm Release Management
- "List all Helm releases"
- "Upgrade the MongoDB chart to version 12.1.0"
- "What values are configured for my Prometheus release?"
- "Rollback the failed Elasticsearch release"
- "Show me the revision history for my Prometheus release"
- "Compare values between different Helm releases"
- "Check for outdated Helm charts in my cluster"
- "What are the dependencies for my Elasticsearch chart?"
Note: The system uses AI to analyze patterns in logs, events, and resource usage to provide intelligent diagnostics and recommendations.
๐ ๏ธ Prerequisites
Requirement | Version |
---|---|
โ JDK | 17 or later |
๐งฐ Maven | 3.8 or later |
โ Minikube/Any Kubernetes cluster | Configured ~/.kube/config |
Note: The system uses the kubeconfig file from
~/.kube/config
, so make sure it is properly configured.
๐๏ธ 1. Project Build
# Build all modules
mvn clean package
# Run the MCP server
java -jar mcp-server/target/mcp-server-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
# Alternatively, run the agent directly
java -jar agent/target/agent-*-fat.jar
๐ ๏ธ 2. Minikube setup
Install minikube and create a nginx deployment:
# Install minikube
brew install minikube
# Start minikube
minikube start
# Make sure kubeconfig is set
kubectl config use-context minikube
# Deploy nginx
kubectl create deployment nginx --image=nginx:latest
# Check whether nginx is running
kubectl get pods
Note: You should see
nginx
pod in the output
