How do I install kubeview?

Pick a client above and copy the generated config. Cursor and VS Code also have a deep link when the server can run locally or remotely.

Is kubeview official?

No. Registry-listed is not the same as vendor-official. Read the methodology for the difference.

How is the trust score calculated?

This listing scores 72 (Good). The formula is published on the methodology page.

MCP_TRANSPORT	No	Transport mode: 'stdio' (default) or 'http'. The published package metadata still targets stdio by default.
MCP_MODE	No	Server mode: 'code' (default), compatibility alias 'all', or direct 'tools'.
MCP_CODE_MODE_DISABLED_TOOLS	No	Comma-separated configurable denials inside run_code. Environment overrides JSON; an empty value enables all configurable capabilities.
MCP_ARGO_TOOLS	No	Argo Workflows capability override: auto, on, or off. Auto uses Kubernetes API discovery.
MCP_ARGOCD_TOOLS	No	Argo CD capability override: auto, on, or off. Auto uses Kubernetes API discovery or explicit remote configuration.
MCP_LOG_LEVEL	No	Logging level: 'error', 'warn', 'info' (default), or 'debug'.
MCP_KUBE_CONTEXT	No	Kubernetes context name to use. If unset, uses the current context from kubeconfig.
MCP_K8S_SKIP_TLS_VERIFY	No	Skip TLS certificate verification for Kubernetes API (use 'true' or '1'). Not recommended for production.
MCP_HIDE_SENSITIVE	No	Enable global sensitive data masking. Set to 'true' or '1' to mask sensitive values in responses.
MCP_TIMEOUT	No	Default timeout in milliseconds for operations. If unset, uses plugin-specific defaults.
MCP_HTTP_HOST	No	HTTP bind host when MCP_TRANSPORT=http. Defaults to 127.0.0.1.
MCP_HTTP_PORT	No	HTTP port when MCP_TRANSPORT=http. Defaults to 3000.
MCP_HTTP_PATH	No	HTTP endpoint path when MCP_TRANSPORT=http. Defaults to /mcp.
MCP_HTTP_JSON_RESPONSE	No	Prefer JSON responses over SSE in HTTP mode. Set to 'true' or '1' to enable.
MCP_APPROVAL_STATE_SECRET	No	Shared secret of at least 32 bytes for signing approval state. Required in HTTP mode and identical across replicas. Secret.
MCP_APPROVAL_REPLAY_DIR	No	Absolute directory on writable storage shared by every HTTP replica, used to atomically prevent approval replay.
MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS	No	Comma-separated Host allowlist for HTTP mode. Required when binding to 0.0.0.0 or ::.
MCP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS	No	Comma-separated Origin allowlist for HTTP mode.
KUBE_MCP_FORCE_VM_SANDBOX	No	Force the standalone code-mode runtime to use node:vm instead of isolated-vm. Set to '1' to enable.
MCP_DISABLE_KUBERNETES_PLUGIN	No	Disable Kubernetes plugin. Set to 'true' or '1' to disable.
MCP_DISABLE_HELM_PLUGIN	No	Disable Helm plugin. Set to 'true' or '1' to disable.
