// Architecture proposal selected and shortlisted for the interview round by CNCF Kmesh maintainers out of a global applicant pool.

CNCF Sandbox · kmesh-net/kmesh Upstream Issue #1800

Develop MCP Server for AI-Native Kmesh Service Mesh Management

Authored an end-to-end 23-page systems proposal implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in Go to enable AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor) to inspect and manage Kmesh's kernel-native eBPF data plane and Waypoint proxies in plain English.

> Dual Transport: Stdio transport for local IDE subprocesses & Streamable HTTP for containerized cluster microservices.
> 15 MCP Tools: 10 core inspection tools (Envoy xDS dumps, XDP maps, daemon metrics) + 5 guarded mutation tools with dry-run previews.
> Multi-Layer AI Diagnostics: Root-cause connectivity engine correlating kernel sockmaps with Envoy configs and Waypoint CRDs.
> Upstream Contributions: 3 authored PRs (#1722, #1727, #1737) covering controller bugs, kmeshctl auto-detection, and documentation.
