## The receipts

- **Vendor-hosted (remote):** `https://container.googleapis.com/mcp` — a remote server run by Google Kubernetes Engine itself, nothing to install. Documented at <https://docs.cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/use-gke-mcp>.
- **Official repository:** [GoogleCloudPlatform/gke-mcp](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gke-mcp) — ★ 167, pushed 2026-09-28, Apache-2.0 (active)

## How to connect it

Hosted by the vendor — no install, connect over HTTP with OAuth or a token.

### Claude Code

```sh
claude mcp add --transport http googlekubernetesengine https://container.googleapis.com/mcp
```

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Settings → Connectors**
2. Click **Add custom connector**
3. Paste `https://container.googleapis.com/mcp`
4. Finish the sign-in prompt, then enable it in the chat's tools menu

### Cursor

Add to `.cursor/mcp.json` in your project, or `~/.cursor/mcp.json` for every project:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "googlekubernetesengine": {
      "url": "https://container.googleapis.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code

Add to `.vscode/mcp.json`, then pick the server from Copilot's agent-mode tools menu:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "googlekubernetesengine": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://container.googleapis.com/mcp"
    }

## How we know

Published to the MCP Registry as com.googleapis.container/mcp; the remote server at container.googleapis.com/mcp answers MCP initialize and is documented at docs.cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/use-gke-mcp, which also links Google's local server in GoogleCloudPlatform/gke-mcp.
