Introduction

Built an AI Agent using Strands Agents SDK from Amazon Web Services (AWS) which calls my Kubernetes MCP server. Read more to find out…

Agents and MCP

AI Agents and Model Context Protocol are the most popular concepts in Gen AI now. Now I have created an AI Agent which calls MCP server to debug issues in my K8s cluster.

Recently I created a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Kubernetes read-only operations.

Strands Agents SDK

AWS has created an SDK for building AI Agents called Strands Agents SDK. Now it added support for MCP as well.

I used Strands Agents SDK and built an AI Agent which calls my K8s MCP server and debugs issues in my running K8s cluster.

This demonstrates the AI Agents ability to achieve goals by perceiving the environment, reasoning and acting upon it using available tools like MCP servers.

Demo

Below is my detailed demo of my AI Agent. Links in comments about Strands and my MCP server.
