      Summary

      Add support for remote cluster introspection so that OLS users can get cluster specific answers .

      ----- Prereq from OCP MCP server —

      Add support for dynamic Kubernetes cluster targeting through HTTP headers, allowing AI systems to specify cluster endpoints and TLS configuration per-request without requiring pre-configured kubeconfig contexts.

      Problem Statement

      Currently, the MCP server only supports targeting clusters that are pre-configured in a kubeconfig file via the context parameter. This requires:

      1. Pre-configuration: All target clusters must be known and configured ahead of time
      2. Static configuration: Cannot dynamically connect to new clusters
      3. LLM parameter pollution: Adding dynamic cluster support via tool parameters would require LLMs to understand infrastructure details

      For AI systems that need to interact with multiple Kubernetes clusters dynamically (e.g., multi-tenant scenarios, ephemeral clusters, or clusters discovered at runtime), the current approach is limiting.
