Best for
  • Kubernetes developers and platform engineering teams
  • Teams needing local Kubernetes development environments
  • Users managing clusters through Docker or cloud providers
  • Projects using Flux, Argo CD, or SOPS
  • Engineering teams scaling AI coding agents while controlling spend
  • Platform teams that need auditable, rollback-aware agent execution records
  • Organizations using multiple agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini) under one governed flow
Not for
  • Users needing only browser automation or file management
  • Environments where an MCP server should not perform cluster operations
  • Users requiring a documented tool list or client configuration that the source does not provide
  • Developers who just want a simple code-completion helper without run governance
  • Teams unwilling to accept local JSONL run records with HMAC signing
  • Environments without a supported adapter (Claude/Codex/Gemini CLIs, direct provider, or verifier-only)
Required permissions
  • Docker or cloud-provider access, depending on the selected cluster provider
  • Kubernetes permissions required to create clusters, manage them, and operate workloads
  • Applicable cloud infrastructure permissions for cloud-based clusters
  • Access to relevant encryption keys when handling SOPS-managed secrets
  • Read/write access to the configured repo root (writable scope restrictable via --allow-path/--deny-path)
  • Ability to invoke the chosen agent CLI (Claude/Codex/Gemini, etc.) and its underlying model account
  • Local disk writes for run records, receipts, and share outputs (share/run-receipt., etc.)
  • Execution of user-configured verifier commands (e.g. npm test)
Risks and side effects
  • The server can be used to create and modify clusters and workloads, so incorrect operations may affect running environments
  • Cloud operations may change infrastructure or incur costs
  • Environments with access to SOPS keys must protect those keys appropriately
  • AWS EKS support is marked as under development in the source
  • Verifier commands are executed; poorly chosen verifier commands carry security risk despite preflight policy checks
  • Cost and token figures may be estimates (labeled with provenance) and should not be treated as settled accounting
  • Receipt integrity must be verified before use as trustworthy evidence; missing rollback evidence is flagged as EVIDENCE_BOUNDARY
  • Policy defaults come from martin.config.yaml and can be overridden by CLI flags; misconfiguration can loosen safety boundaries
