Using the ToolHive Kubernetes Operator
Introduction
The ToolHive Kubernetes operator manages MCP servers in Kubernetes clusters. It provides a way to deploy, manage, and scale MCP servers in multi-user environments. By defining MCP servers as Kubernetes resources, the operator automates their deployment and management, making it easier to run MCP servers in multi-user environments.
Experimental The Kubernetes operator is still under active development and isn't
recommended for production use cases yet. Specifically, the MCPServer Custom
Resource Definition (CRD) is still in an alpha state so breaking changes to the
spec and its capabilities are possible.
