What is the Cilium (eBPF Networking) MCP Server?
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
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Cilium API URL
- 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
Built-in capabilities (6)
Create endpoint
Get nodes information stored in the cilium-agent
Get configuration of Cilium daemon
g., cilium-local:123, container-id:abc). Get endpoint by endpoint ID
Get health of Cilium daemon
Modify daemon configuration
Why Windsurf?
Windsurf's Cascade agent chains multiple Cilium (eBPF Networking) tool calls autonomously. query data, analyze results, and generate code in a single agentic session. Paste Vinkius Edge URL, reload, and all 6 tools are immediately available. Real-time tool feedback appears inline, so you see API responses directly in your editor.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Cilium (eBPF Networking) in Windsurf
The Cilium (eBPF Networking) MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 6 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Windsurf only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.
* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
Cilium (eBPF Networking) for Windsurf
Every tool call from Windsurf to the Cilium (eBPF Networking) MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I check if the Cilium daemon is connected to Kubernetes and Hubble?
Yes. Use the get_healthz tool. It returns the status of all critical components including Kubernetes connectivity, Hubble, and the container runtime.
How do I retrieve the configuration of a specific network endpoint?
You can use the get_endpoint tool by providing the endpoint ID (e.g., 'cilium-local:123'). It will return addressing, labels, and current state metadata.
Is it possible to update the Cilium daemon configuration via this agent?
Yes, the patch_config tool allows you to update daemon specification options, which triggers a regeneration of datapath components.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
Server not connecting
Check Settings → MCP for the server status. Try toggling it off and on.
