Cilium (eBPF Networking)

Cilium (eBPF Networking) MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Manage Cilium eBPF networking — inspect cluster nodes, monitor daemon health, and manage networking endpoints via AI.

6 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

Connect to your Cilium agent to monitor and manage your Kubernetes networking stack using eBPF technology through natural language.

What you can do

  • Cluster Visibility — Retrieve detailed information about cluster nodes known to the local Cilium agent.
  • Health Monitoring — Check the status of the Cilium daemon, container runtime, datastore, and Hubble connectivity.
  • Configuration Management — Inspect and update daemon configuration options and datapath modes on the fly.
  • Endpoint Control — List, inspect, and create networking endpoints to manage container connectivity and security.

How it works

  1. Subscribe to this server
  2. Enter your Cilium API URL
  3. Start managing your eBPF networking from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client

Who is this for?

  • DevOps & Platform Engineers — quickly audit cluster health and node status without complex CLI commands
  • Security Teams — inspect endpoint labels and states to verify network policy enforcement
  • SREs — troubleshoot connectivity issues by querying daemon configuration and health metrics

get_endpoint

g., cilium-local:123, container-id:abc). Get endpoint by endpoint ID

get_healthz

Get health of Cilium daemon

get_cluster_nodes

Get nodes information stored in the cilium-agent

patch_config

Modify daemon configuration

See how to talk to your AI agent using Cilium (eBPF Networking).

Check the health status of the Cilium daemon.

I've checked the Cilium health status. The daemon is healthy, with active connectivity to Kubernetes and Hubble. Container runtime status is also green.

List all cluster nodes known to the agent.

I've retrieved the cluster nodes. I found 3 nodes: 'node-1' (10.0.0.1), 'node-2' (10.0.0.2), and 'node-3' (10.0.0.3). All are currently reachable.

Get the details for endpoint ID cilium-local:123.

Inspecting endpoint 'cilium-local:123'... It is in 'ready' state, assigned IP 10.244.1.5, and carries labels like 'app=frontend'.

Yes. Use the `get_healthz` tool. It returns the status of all critical components including Kubernetes connectivity, Hubble, and the container runtime.
