Are there specific requirements for Teleport parameters?

Yes, for Teleport-related tools and workflows, the localPort must always be provided as a string (e.g., '18001') rather than an integer to ensure compatibility.

What is the primary purpose of this skill?

It provides a reference for using Giant Swarm's specific MCP tools within Claude Code to manage infrastructure, automate workflows, and maintain platform consistency.

What are 'workflow' tools in this context?

Workflow tools are high-level, composable MCP operations that automate multi-step tasks like cluster authentication, resource discovery, and cross-cluster operations.

How does it handle Kubernetes contexts?

It mandates the explicit setting of the kubeContext parameter using a specific Teleport format to ensure operations are performed on the correct cluster, ignoring the default local shell context.

Can I use this for Prometheus queries?

Yes, it includes guidance on using x_prometheus tools, including the requirement for specific port-forwarding formats derived from management cluster login workflows.

Deployment & DevOps

Provides a comprehensive quick reference for managing Giant Swarm platform tools, Kubernetes clusters, and automated SRE workflows.

The MCP Tools Reference skill equips Claude Code with the domain-specific knowledge required to navigate the Giant Swarm ecosystem effectively. It streamlines operations by providing instant access to Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool patterns, including core platform building blocks, extended Kubernetes and Prometheus operations, and high-level automated workflows. By standardizing parameter usage for tools like Teleport and Flux, this skill ensures that SREs can execute complex multi-step tasks—such as management cluster logins and workload cluster discovery—with precision, correct context handling, and reduced manual overhead.
