Setup DataSurface MCP Config

Create a .mcp.json file in the project root so Claude Code can connect to the DataSurface MCP server running in the Kubernetes cluster.

Steps

1. Find the MCP Service

Look up the MCP service in the target namespace to get the NodePort:

kubectl get service -n <namespace> -l app=demo-psp-mcp-server

The service named demo-psp-mcp exposes port 8000 via a NodePort. Note the NodePort value (e.g., 32132).

2. Verify the MCP Server is Running

kubectl get pods -n <namespace> -l app=demo-psp-mcp-server

Confirm the pod is in Running state.

3. Create .mcp.json

Write the following .mcp.json file to the project root, using the NodePort discovered in step 1:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "datasurface": {
      "type": "sse",
      "url": "http://localhost:<nodeport>/sse"
    }
  }
}

Replace <nodeport> with the actual NodePort value from step 1.

4. Verify Settings

Check that .claude/settings.local.json has the MCP server enabled. It should contain:

{
  "enableAllProjectMcpServers": true,
  "enabledMcpjsonServers": ["datasurface"]
}

If these settings are missing, add them.

5. Inform the User

Tell the user to restart Claude Code (or start a new session) for the MCP server connection to take effect.

Notes

• •The MCP server uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport with endpoints at /sse and /messages/
• •The server runs inside Kubernetes and is exposed via a NodePort service
• •The default namespace is demo1 but should be confirmed with the user
