      The Kiali MCP Server aims to provide Mesh Control Plane (MCP) functionality for Istio running on Kubernetes/OpenShift.
      The first step is exposing Kiali features in MCP so that developers and operators can access observability, validations, and graph analysis directly from their MCP tooling or editors (e.g., Cursor).
      Currently, only Istio object validations are available. This epic will track the work required to extend functionality, improve usability, and set the foundation for future MCP capabilities.
