Manage virtual Kubernetes clusters using kubectl-mcp-server's vind tools (14 tools).
Requires the
vindtoolset: start kubectl-mcp-server with--toolsets default,vind(orMCP_TOOLSETS=default,vind).
vCluster enables running fully functional Kubernetes clusters as lightweight workloads inside a host cluster, combining multi-tenancy with strong isolation.
Use this skill when:
| Priority | Rule | Impact | Tools |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Detect vCluster CLI first | CRITICAL | detect_ecosystem |
| 2 | Check cluster status before operations | HIGH | vind_status |
| 3 | Connect before kubectl operations | HIGH | vind_connect |
| 4 | Pause unused clusters to save resources | MEDIUM | vind_pause |
| Task | Tool | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Detect vCluster | detect_ecosystem | detect_ecosystem() |
| List clusters | vind_list_clusters | vind_list_clusters() |
| Create cluster | vind_create_cluster | vind_create_cluster(name) |
| Connect to cluster | vind_connect | vind_connect(name) |

Install vCluster CLI:
curl -L -o vcluster "https://github.com/loft-sh/vcluster/releases/latest/download/vcluster-$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')-$(uname -m)"
chmod +x vcluster
sudo mv vcluster /usr/local/bin/
