~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mkp-mcp": {
      "command": "mkp",
      "args": [
        "serve"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Abre Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Reinicia después de guardar.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mkp-mcp": {

      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor usa el mismo esquema mcpServers que Claude Desktop. La configuración del proyecto prevalece sobre la global.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mkp-mcp": {
      "command": "mkp",
      "args": [
        "serve"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Haz clic en el icono MCP Servers de la barra lateral de Cline y luego en "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mkp-mcp": {
      "command": "mkp",
      "args": [
        "serve"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Mismo formato que Claude Desktop. Reinicia Windsurf para aplicar.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "mkp-mcp",
      "command": "mkp",
      "args": [
        "serve"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue usa un array de objetos de servidor en lugar de un mapa.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "mkp-mcp": {
      "command": {
        "path": "mkp",
        "args": [
          "serve"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

Añádelo a context_servers. Zed recarga en caliente al guardar.

claude mcp add mkp-mcp -- mkp serve

Un solo comando. Verifica con claude mcp list. Quita con claude mcp remove.

Casos de uso

Usos del mundo real: MKP (Model Kontext for K8s)

Find which pod is OOMKilling and propose a fix

👤 K8s operators ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

Cuándo usarlo: You're paged for memory pressure and don't have a dashboard up.

Requisitos previos

Server/skill installed and authenticated — See repo README

Flujo

Spot the OOMs

Find pods in any namespace with restartCount > 3 in the last hour. Show pod, namespace, last termination reason.✓ Copiado

→ Targeted list, likely with OOMKilled in the reason
Propose the fix

Get the limits/requests for the worst offender. Tell me what to raise and write an apply_manifest dry-run patch.✓ Copiado

→ Resource diff + a dry-run apply

Resultado: Targeted patch ready to apply, RBAC-checked.

Errores comunes

MKP only exposes what the bound SA can do — MKP only exposes what the bound SA can do — to enable apply_manifest you must bind an SA with patch permission.
