EKS MCP Server Setup

This skill guides you through configuring the EKS MCP Server to enable live EKS cluster operations through your AI assistant.

When NOT to Use This Skill

• Operational cluster work (listing resources, troubleshooting pods, reading K8s state) — use the EKS MCP tools directly once configured
• EKS concept questions — use the other EKS skills

Setup Workflow

Step 0: Quick Check — Is EKS MCP Already Configured?

Before proceeding with setup, check if EKS MCP tools are already available:

1. Look for MCP tools in your current environment starting with eks or mcp__eks
2. Try a simple command: Ask to list EKS clusters — if it works, you're already set up
