Categories:
Wrapping the Meshery API
Back an MCP tool with Meshery’s REST and GraphQL APIs, mapping tool call parameters to API requests and shaping raw responses into clean agent-readable output.
Exposing Cluster State as Resources
Model read-only Kubernetes and Meshery state from MeshSync as MCP resources that an agent can fetch by URI on demand.
Testing and Debugging an MCP Server
Verify tool correctness, trace failures through structured logs, and work through common MCP server failure modes before connecting a live agent.
