Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].

  • add_namespace

    Forward all services in a namespace to localhost. Adds /etc/hosts entries for each service. Returns list of discovered services with connection info.

  • add_service

    Forward a single service to localhost. Returns local IP, hostnames (added to /etc/hosts), and mapped ports. Requires namespace and service_name.

  • diagnose_errors

    Diagnose current errors with root cause analysis. Returns error types, affected pods, and specific fix suggestions.

  • find_services

    Search forwarded services by name pattern, port number, or namespace. Returns matching services with connection info.

  • get_analysis

    Full analysis with issues, priorities, and recommended actions. Returns classified errors and specific tool calls to fix them. Best starting point for troubleshooting.

  • get_connection_info

    Get connection details for a forwarded service: IP address, hostnames, ports, and environment variables. Use after add_service to get ready-to-use connection strings. Requires service_name.

  • get_endpoints

    Get endpoints for a Kubernetes service. Shows which pods are backing the service and their ready state. Useful for debugging service-to-pod routing.

  • get_events

    Get Kubernetes events for debugging. Shows scheduling, pulling, starting, killing events. Filter by resource kind (Pod, Service) and name. Critical for diagnosing startup failures.

  • get_health

    Get kubefwd health: status (healthy/degraded/unhealthy), version, uptime, and service/error counts.

  • get_history

    Access event, error, or reconnection history. Filter by type and service key. Analyze patterns over time. Requires type ('events', 'errors', or 'reconnections').

  • get_http_traffic

    View HTTP requests through a forward: method, path, status code, response time. Debug API calls and verify connectivity. Requires service_key (e.g., 'myservice.namespace.context') or forward_key.

  • get_logs

    Get kubefwd log entries. Filter by level (debug/info/warn/error) or search text. Returns timestamped messages.

  • get_metrics

    Get bandwidth metrics: total bytes in/out, transfer rates, per-service breakdown. Shows network activity.

  • get_pod

    Get detailed pod information including containers, status, conditions, resources, and events. Use to diagnose pod issues. Requires namespace and pod_name.

  • get_pod_logs

    Get logs from a Kubernetes pod. Useful for debugging services. Returns recent log lines from the pod's container. Requires namespace and pod_name. Get pod names from list_pods or get_service output.

Show 13 more tools
  • get_quick_status

    Fast health check returning ok/issues/error with message. Use as first check before taking action.

  • get_service

    Get detailed service info: all port forwards, pods, hostnames, traffic bytes/rates, and error state. Requires key (e.g., 'servicename.namespace.context').

  • list_contexts

    List Kubernetes contexts from kubeconfig with current context marked. Use to discover clusters before forwarding.

  • list_hostnames

    List all /etc/hosts entries created by kubefwd. Shows hostname-to-IP mappings for each forwarded service.

  • list_k8s_namespaces

    List available Kubernetes namespaces with forwarding status. Use to discover what can be forwarded.

  • list_k8s_services

    List services in a namespace with type, ports, and forwarding status. Use to discover what can be forwarded. Requires namespace.

  • list_pods

    List Kubernetes pods with status, ready state, restarts, and age. Filter by label selector or service name. Essential for finding which pods back a service. Requires namespace.

  • list_services

    List all forwarded services with status. Returns service names, namespaces, contexts, forward counts, and error states.

  • reconnect_all_errors

    Reconnect all errored services at once. Returns count of services triggered.

  • reconnect_service

    Reconnect a service to its pods. Use when service is in error state. Forces immediate reconnection attempt. Requires key (e.g., 'servicename.namespace.context').

  • remove_namespace

    Stop all service forwards in a namespace. Removes /etc/hosts entries and cleans up network interfaces.

  • remove_service

    Stop forwarding a service. Removes /etc/hosts entries and releases the allocated IP. Requires key (e.g., 'servicename.namespace.context').

  • sync_service

    Re-sync pods for a service. Discovers pod changes and updates forwards. Use after deployments or pod restarts. Requires key (e.g., 'servicename.namespace.context').
