Manage vCluster (virtual Kubernetes clusters) instances using vind. Use when creating, managing, or operating lightweight virtual clusters for development, testing, or multi-tenancy.
Manage virtual Kubernetes clusters using kubectl-mcp-server's vind tools (14 tools).
vCluster enables running fully functional Kubernetes clusters as lightweight workloads inside a host cluster, combining multi-tenancy with strong isolation.
Use this skill when:
| Priority | Rule | Impact | Tools |
|----------|------|--------|-------|
| 1 | Detect vCluster CLI first | CRITICAL | vind_detect_tool |
| 2 | Check cluster status before operations | HIGH | vind_status_tool |
| 3 | Connect before kubectl operations | HIGH | vind_connect_tool |
| 4 | Pause unused clusters to save resources | MEDIUM | vind_pause_tool |
| Task | Tool | Example |
|------|------|---------|
| Detect vCluster | vind_detect_tool | vind_detect_tool() |
| List clusters | vind_list_clusters_tool | vind_list_clusters_tool() |
| Create cluster | vind_create_cluster_tool | vind_create_cluster_tool(name) |
| Connect to cluster | vind_connect_tool | vind_connect_tool(name) |

For vCluster in Docker (vind) deployments, use --set values:

set_values="experimental.docker.network=my-network,experimental.docker.ports[0].containerPort=80"

Install vCluster CLI:
curl -L -o vcluster "https://github.com/loft-sh/vcluster/releases/latest/download/vcluster-$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')-$(uname -m)"
chmod +x vcluster
sudo mv vcluster /usr/local/bin/
