What is the Porter PaaS MCP Server?

Connect your Porter account to any AI agent and take full programmatic control over your Kubernetes infrastructure natively.

What you can do

Projects & Clusters — List high-level organizational bounds, EKS/GKE clusters, and deployment zones
Applications & Environments — Map staging/production namespaces, check active web services, and resolve container requirements
Operations — Restart app pods gracefully or forcefully deploy specific image tags when resolving CI/CD breaks
Helm Inspections — Check low-level Helm charts behind active components (like Postgres or Redis)

How it works

Subscribe to this server
Enter your Porter API Token
Start managing your clusters straight from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client

No pulling KUBECONFIG files, authenticating via cloud CLI tools, or navigating dashboards. Your orchestration lives in chat.

Who is this for?

DevOps Engineers — quickly restart crashing services and audit cluster architectures on the fly
Backend Developers — rollback image tags and orchestrate quick deployments directly from standard chat
Engineering Leads — inspect resource mapping and isolate distinct staging environments instantly

Built-in capabilities (10)

deploy_app_tag

Assigns a raw docker registry digest/tag directly causing Kubernetes to perform an absolute image pull orchestrating a fresh deployment state spanning replica boundaries. Forcefully mutate the executed Docker image running internally

get_app

Includes explicit CPU metrics requested, RAM limits mapped locally to the JVM/Node instances, and internal registry image hashes resolving at runtime. Analyze architectural bindings orchestrating a specific App

get_cluster

Inspect deep cloud credentials generating a specific K8s Cluster

get_project

Perform structural extraction of metadata linked to a Porter Project

list_apps

Discovers precisely which App routing identities expose `porter.run` subdomains or linked target custom apex mappings. Inventory deployed discrete Applications mapping to a Cluster

list_clusters

Exposes crucial execution zones hosting absolute memory nodes. List underlying target cloud Kubernetes definitions bounds to Porter

list_environments

Extract logic isolation environments overlapping the Cluster

list_helm_releases

Vital for verifying if dependent third-party apps (e.g. Postgres databases or Metabase) deployed aside the primary stack succeeded during installation phases. List underlying operational Helm configurations inside a namespace

list_projects

Fetches indispensable integer `projectId` arrays coordinating everything strictly downstream inside AWS/GCP clusters. Identify base Porter PaaS organizational scopes

restart_app

Mandatory during severe connection leakage scenarios impacting native processes without modifying the fundamental code layer deployment tag. Instruct the Kubernetes API to bounce the App deployment replicas

Why VS Code Copilot?

GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Porter PaaS data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 10 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.

—
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
—
Project-scoped MCP configs (.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access
—
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
—
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can my AI automatically deploy an urgent hotfix tag?

Yes. If a specific commit tag needs to be rolled out bypassing regular CI delays, simply command the AI to deploy_app_tag providing the target container suffix. It issues direct orchestration commands triggering an absolute image update inside Kubernetes immediately.

Can the agent check internal Helm variables for external addons?

Absolutely. Using the list_helm_releases tool, your agent analyzes raw orchestrator chart variables inside the cluster's namespace. It is invaluable for diagnosing why your Postgres Helm initialization is misbehaving.

Is it safe to orchestrate infrastructure boundaries with AI?

Yes! The token you provide is inherently scoped to the exact projects authorized in the Porter Dashboard. The AI strictly respects the platform's isolation, ensuring you only restart or query bounded namespace assets.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
