Add KubeStellar Console MCP server to Kubernetes config

[clubanderson]

Adds KubeStellar Console to the Kubernetes MCP config and All Plugins table.

What is KubeStellar Console?

KubeStellar Console is an open-source multi-cluster Kubernetes dashboard with a built-in MCP server (kc-agent) that bridges AI agents to Kubernetes clusters. It provides:

• 50+ dashboard cards — cluster health, workloads, RBAC, compliance, CI/CD, AI/ML ops
• Multi-cluster management — manage workloads and policies across clusters via KubeStellar
• MCP server (kc-agent) — enables Claude, Copilot, and other AI agents to interact with Kubernetes clusters
• Real-time WebSocket streaming — live updates from clusters
• CNCF KubeStellar ecosystem — part of the KubeStellar project (CNCF Sandbox)

Changes

1. mcp-configs/kubernetes.json — Added kubestellar-console MCP server entry
2. README.md — Added entry to All Plugins table and updated Kubernetes MCP config description

The MCP server runs via go run github.com/kubestellar/console/cmd/kc-agent@latest and bridges Claude Code to your kubeconfig clusters for managing workloads, policies, RBAC, and compliance.

Poem

🐰 I nudged a config, added a console bright,
A tiny agent wakes to multicluster light,
Env vars tucked in, args aligned with care,
Dashboards hum softly — clusters share the air,
The rabbit giggles: one more server in the hare.

README.md (1)

889-889: Description update matches the JSON change.

Note: the section header on line 883 still reads "Thirteen curated Model Context Protocol server configurations" while the table below lists 14 rows. That's a pre-existing inconsistency rather than something this PR introduced, but since you're touching this section it may be worth fixing in the same PR for tidiness.

In `@README.md` at line 889, The section header text "Thirteen curated Model
Context Protocol server configurations" is inconsistent with the table that now
lists 14 rows; update the header to match the actual count (e.g., "Fourteen
curated Model Context Protocol server configurations") or otherwise make the
header plural/unspecified to avoid a hardcoded number; edit the README header
string to reflect this change so the header and the table (which includes the
Kubernetes row referencing `kubernetes.json`) are consistent.

- Around line 13-17: Change the "kubestellar-console" entry to avoid using the
non-reproducible and slow "go run
github.com/kubestellar/console/cmd/kc-agent@latest": either use the
Homebrew-installed binary by setting "command" to "kc-agent" (after documenting
the brew tap/install: brew tap kubestellar/tap && brew install kc-agent) or
document the official start.sh installation path as an alternative; additionally
add documentation/config for required kube/auth parameters (support --kubeconfig
or default ~/.kube/config and include environment variables KC_ALLOWED_ORIGINS
and KC_AGENT_TOKEN similar to the existing "github" entry) so users know how to
supply creds and allowed origins when running kc-agent.

Fixed — updated the section header from "Thirteen" to "Fourteen" to match the actual table row count. Thanks for the catch!

Addressed CodeRabbit feedback:

1 Switched to kc-agent binary — replaced go run ...@latest with the Homebrew-installable kc-agent binary (brew tap kubestellar/tap && brew install kc-agent).
2. ✅ Added env vars — KC_ALLOWED_ORIGINS and KC_AGENT_TOKEN now documented in the config, matching the pattern used by the GitHub entry
3. ✅ Kubeconfig documentation — install description notes that kc-agent uses ~/.kube/config by default

Thanks for the thorough review!
