MCP.Pizza Chef: skyhook-io

Radar is a free, open-source tool that gives you a visual dashboard for a Kubernetes cluster, showing what's running, what's broken, and what changed recently. It also includes a built-in connection point that lets an AI assistant such as Cursor look at your cluster's health, deployments, and event history and answer questions about it in plain language. It runs as a single program on your own computer, so no account or cloud sign-up is required. Setup involves running an installer command and connecting your AI assistant to it.

Why Radar?

radar FAQ

Can I use this to ask my AI assistant why something broke in my cluster?
Yes — once connected, an assistant like Cursor can look at recent events, pod problems, and deployment changes and explain what went wrong in plain language.
Can I use this to see what changed in my cluster without digging through logs myself?
Yes — Radar tracks recent changes and events automatically, and your AI assistant can summarize the timeline for you on request.
Which AI assistants or apps does this work with?
Its built-in connection is confirmed to work with Cursor, and it's built to work the same way with other AI assistants that support this kind of connection, including Claude Desktop and Gemini-based tools.
Do I need an account or a paid subscription to use this?
No — Radar is free and runs entirely on your own computer, with no account or cloud sign-up required.
Do I need a special key or password to connect it?
No key is required — Radar connects straight to your Kubernetes cluster using the access you already have on your machine.
How hard is this to set up?
It takes some technical comfort. You install a small program from the command line (or download a desktop app version) and point it at your cluster, which is more involved than a one-click browser add-on.
Do I have to install this on a server, or can I just run it on my laptop?
You can run it right on your laptop and it will talk to your cluster remotely; there's also an option to install it inside the cluster for a whole team to share.
Will connecting this change or risk anything in my live cluster?
No — Radar is built for viewing your cluster's health, changes, and traffic, not for making changes to it, so looking around with it is safe.
