ScaleOps MCP

ScaleOps comes with a built-in MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that you can connect your AI agents and tools to. This gives them read-only access to ScaleOps, enabling queries against cluster state, workload data, and optimization insights directly.

MCP Overview

Deployment Modes

ScaleOps Cloud - available out of the box
Self-Hosted - enable via Helm configuration

Security & Authorization

The MCP server is not public. When your AI client first connects, a login prompt is presented to the user. Access is granted only after successful authentication.
Responses from the MCP server respect the permissions of the authenticated user. If a user has access to only specific clusters or namespaces in ScaleOps, the MCP server will return data scoped to those same clusters and namespaces.
