Overview

istio-mcp is a tool library designed to encapsulate the Istio MCP (Mesh Configuration Protocol) client and server, facilitating easier management and interaction within service meshes. # How to use istio-mcp? To use istio-mcp, integrate the library into your project by including it via package management systems or downloading it from the GitHub repository. You can then utilize its functions to manage Istio configurations and clients effectively. # Key features of istio-mcp? - Encapsulation of Istio MCP client and server functionality. - Enhanced management capabilities for service mesh configurations. - Simplifies complex interactions in a microservices architecture. # Use cases of istio-mcp?

  1. Streamlining the configuration of services within an Istio service mesh.
  2. Integrating service discovery and configuration updates seamlessly.
  3. Building custom tooling that interacts with Istio’s MCP for enhanced orchestration. # FAQ from istio-mcp? - What is the purpose of the istio-mcp library? > It serves to simplify the complexities of interacting with the Istio MCP, making it easier to manage configurations within service meshes. - Is istio-mcp suitable for production use? > Yes, istio-mcp is designed for production-grade usage, aiming to enhance stability and management of service mesh operations. - Where can I find the documentation? > Documentation can be found on the project’s GitHub page at istio-mcp GitHub.7:["$","div",null,{"className":"container mx-auto flex flex-col gap-4","children":["$L26","$L27",["$","$L28",null,{"currentProject":{"id":253,"uuid":"ef0894ae-1cd8-4f81-be85-1210ed1ef7c0","name":"istio-mcp","title":"istio-mcp","description":"A tool library that encapsulates istio mcp client/server","avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/77720427?v=4","created_at":"2024-12-13T10:43:36.655Z","updated_at":"2024-12-13T12:28:10.894Z","status":"created","author_name":"slime-io","author_avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/77720427?v=4","tags":"[]","category":"developer-tools","is_featured":false,"sort":1,"url":"https://github.com/slime-io/istio-mcp","target":"_self","content":"# istio-mcp\nA tool library that encapsulates istio mcp client/server","summary":"$29","img_url":null,"type":null,"metadata":null,"user_uuid":null,"tools":null,"sse_url":null,"sse_provider":null,"sse_params":null,"is_official":false,"server_command":null,"server_params":null,"server_config":null,"allow_call":false,"is_innovation":false,"is_dxt":false,"dxt_manifest":null,"dxt_file_url":null,"is_audit":false},"randomProjects":[],"currentServerKey":"$undefined"}]]}]

Use these steps to connect istio-mcp in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "istio-mcp-slime-io": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-istio-mcp-slime-io"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "istio-mcp-slime-io": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-istio-mcp-slime-io"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "istio-mcp-slime-io": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-istio-mcp-slime-io"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "istio-mcp-slime-io": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-istio-mcp-slime-io"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "istio-mcp-slime-io": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-istio-mcp-slime-io"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "istio-mcp-slime-io": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-istio-mcp-slime-io"
      ]
