Who is the customer 

1. Customer is any new and existing Developer persona in openshift who uses generative AI based IDE’s like Cluade , VS code , Cursor in “agent “ mode to developer their application  using Openshift as platform 
2. Customer is any new and existing OLS user in openshift who wants to use OLS to gain knowledge about openshift and want to chat with the cluster to gain status of the cluster objects 
3. OLS via OC console
4. OLS via OC (future)

What is the customer problem we are trying to solve 

1. Customer already use their own favorite IDE to develop their application on top of openshift and to manage and operate their developer cluster, they need to understand Openhsift by logging into the openshift console or OC CLI, leaving their IDE environment 
2. Customers want to chat with Openshift cluster via OLS and get information about cluster object status

TP MVP Phase-1: May 2026 

• P0: Auth : MCP server should be able to integrate with OIDC provider using oAuth so that a user who is logged into a remote MCP client (claude , cursor) using “SSO” should be able to connect to the Openhsift  MCP server with same SSO credentials 
• P0: Read only tools by defualt
  • With customer ability to turn on write tools

• P1 Evals
• P1: go-sdk switch
• Multi cluster 
  • Tools -> P1
  • Minimum with HCP -> TBD 
• P2-> Prompt support 
• P3 : Telemetry/Metrics
• TBD:  Configuration: 
  • Input/output Mask/filter sensitive information ( example block secrets ) 
    • Filtering will be multi layer -> apply at MCP server level , MCP gateway level , MCP host level
    • Prompt injection

Note : Prompt injection will live out side of MCP server 

Note : add feature in OLS to adhere Redhat way to answer
