About MCP Servers for Kubernetes & K8s

MCP servers for managing Kubernetes clusters, deployments, and cloud-native workloads. Nerq tracks 305 MCP servers in the kubernetes & k8s category, each assessed against 52 global AI regulations including the EU AI Act, US state AI laws (California SB53, Colorado SB205), UK AI Bill, and more. Compliance scores are weighted by jurisdiction penalty severity — jurisdictions with higher fines (like the EU AI Act at up to €35M) have more impact on the score than voluntary frameworks.
