Conversational Kubernetes management with GPT-4o and MCP integration

This n8n workflow template uses community nodes and is only compatible with the self-hosted version of n8n. Conversational Kubernetes Management with GPT-4o and MCP Integration This workflow enables you to manage Kubernetes clusters conversationally using OpenAI’s GPT-4o and a secure MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. It transforms natural language queries into actionable Kubernetes commands via a lightweight MCP API gateway — perfect for developers and platform engineers seeking to simplify cluster interaction. --- 🚀 Setup Instructions Import the Workflow Upload this template to your n8n instance. Configure Required Credentials OpenAI API Key: Add your GPT-4o API key in the credentials. MCP Client Node: Set the URL and auth for your MCP server. Test Kubernetes Access Ensure your MCP server is correctly configured and has access to the target Kubernetes cluster. --- 🧩 Prerequisites n8n version 0.240.0 or later Access to GPT-4o via OpenAI A running MCP server Kubernetes cluster credentials configured in your MCP backend --- ⚠️ Community Nodes Disclaimer This workflow uses custom community nodes (e.g., MCP Client). Make sure to review and trust these nodes before running in production. --- 🛠️ How It Works A webhook or chat input triggers the conversation. GPT-4o interprets the message and generates structured Kubernetes queries. MCP Client securely sends requests to your cluster. The result is returned and formatted for easy reading. --- 🔧 Customization Tips Tweak the GPT-4o prompt to match your tone or technical level. Extend MCP endpoints to support new Kubernetes actions. Add alerting or monitoring integrations (e.g., Slack, Prometheus). --- 🖼️ Template Screenshot --- 🧠 Example Prompts Show me all pods in the default namespace. Get logs for nginx pod in kube-system. List all deployments in staging. --- 📎 Additional Resources MCP Server on GitHub OpenAI Documentation n8n Docs --- Build smarter Kubernetes workflows with the power of AI !
