# Cyclops

> Use this tool when you need to manage Kubernetes applications safely and efficiently, leveraging high-level abstractions and validated templates to avoid direct manipulation of low-level resources. Cyclops solves problems of application deployment and management for DevOps teams and organizations, providing a controlled environment for AI agents to interact with Kubernetes clusters. It accepts module configurations and template definitions as inputs, producing validated and generated manifests as outputs, ideal for use cases where production safety and simplicity are crucial.

## Description

Cyclops MCP server provides AI assistants with safe Kubernetes application management through high-level abstractions, enabling creation and updates of applications using validated templates rather than direct manipulation of low-level Kubernetes resources. Built in Go using the cyclops-ui/cyclops framework, the implementation offers tools for managing Cyclops Modules (template-based application definitions), Template Stores (collections of Helm/Git/OCI templates), and retrieving JSON schemas for template validation, with comprehensive CRUD operations including module creation, updates, resource listing, and manifest generation. The server validates all module configurations against template schemas before deployment and integrates with Kubernetes through the Cyclops controller, serving DevOps teams who want to give AI agents controlled access to application deployment without risking direct cluster manipulation, and organizations seeking to abstract Kubernetes complexity from both developers and AI systems while maintaining production safety through template-driven workflows.
