kubefwd

Overview

An MCP-enabled tool that forwards multiple Kubernetes service ports to a local machine, allowing developers to access cluster services directly using their original service names and ports. Each service gets a unique loopback IP to eliminate port conflicts, enabling realistic local development that mirrors in-cluster connectivity.

Key Features

• Bulk port forwarding for all services in a Kubernetes namespace
• Unique loopback IP per service to eliminate port conflicts
• Automatic /etc/hosts management for service name resolution
• Interactive TUI for monitoring and managing forwarded services
• Automatic reconnection with configurable retry policies

Who is this for?

This tool is designed for Kubernetes developers who need to access cluster services during local development without complex proxy setups. It is ideal for teams building microservices where applications need to connect to multiple cluster services using their original service names.
