Install Kubernetes Ephemeral Job in Continue

What you need first

• Continue, installed.
• Docker, which gives the docker command the server starts with.
• Your own value for YOUR_MCP_K8S_ALLOWED_IMAGES.

Steps

1. Open ~/.continue/config.yaml. On Windows it is %USERPROFILE%\.continue\config.yaml.
2. Add this entry. If the file already has mcpServers, add only the item from - name on.

mcpServers:
  - name: "mcp-k8s-ephemeral-job"
    type: stdio
    command: "docker"
    args:
      - "run"
      - "-i"
      - "--rm"
      - "-e"
      - "MCP_K8S_ALLOWED_IMAGES"
      - "docker.io/idconstruct/mcp-k8s-ephemeral-job:v0.7.1"
    env:
      "MCP_K8S_ALLOWED_IMAGES": "YOUR_MCP_K8S_ALLOWED_IMAGES"

3. Replace YOUR_MCP_K8S_ALLOWED_IMAGES with your own value.
4. Save the file and restart Continue.

Check it worked

Ask Continue: List the tools of mcp-k8s-ephemeral-job.

If it does not start

Cannot connect to the Docker daemon

Docker is not running. Start it, then restart Continue.

The server starts, but its tools fail

A YOUR_… placeholder is still in the config, or its value is wrong.

Nothing changes after a restart

The file is not valid YAML any more. Check that the entry is indented like the lines around it.
