  The Kubernetes project does not publish a first-party, project-owned MCP
  server. A mature third-party ecosystem exists (see servers[] below), most
  notably containers/kubernetes-mcp-server (also released as openshift/openshift-mcp-server),
  a native Go implementation that talks directly to the API server and ships as
  a binary, npm package, Python package, and container image. The tools[] list
  here is a CANDIDATE surface derived one-per-operation from the captured
  OpenAPI, not an authoritative manifest.
