How to: Configuration Options
| Option                    | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
|---------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `--port`                  | Starts the MCP server in Streamable HTTP mode (path /mcp) and Server-Sent Event (SSE) (path /sse) mode and listens on the specified port .                                                                                                                                                    |
| `--log-level`             | Sets the logging level (values [from 0-9](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/devel/sig-instrumentation/logging.md)). Similar to [kubectl logging levels](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/quick-reference/#kubectl-output-verbosity-and-debugging). |
| `--config`                | (Optional) Path to the main TOML configuration file. See [Drop-in Configuration](#drop-in-configuration) section below for details.                                                                                                                                                          |
| `--config-dir`            | (Optional) Path to drop-in configuration directory. Files are loaded in lexical (alphabetical) order. Defaults to `conf.d` relative to the main config file if `--config` is specified. See [Drop-in Configuration](#drop-in-configuration) section below for details.                       |
| `--kubeconfig`            | Path to the Kubernetes configuration file. If not provided, it will try to resolve the configuration (in-cluster, default location, etc.).                                                                                                                                                    |
| `--list-output`           | Output format for resource list operations (one of: yaml, table) (default "table")                                                                                                                                                                                                            |
| `--read-only`             | If set, the MCP server will run in read-only mode, meaning it will not allow any write operations (create, update, delete) on the Kubernetes cluster. This is useful for debugging or inspecting the cluster without making changes.                                                          |
| `--disable-destructive`   | If set, the MCP server will disable all destructive operations (delete, update, etc.) on the Kubernetes cluster. This is useful for debugging or inspecting the cluster without accidentally making changes. This option has no effect when `--read-only` is used.                            |
| `--stateless`             | If set, the MCP server will run in stateless mode, disabling tool and prompt change notifications. This is useful for container deployments, load balancing, and serverless environments where maintaining client state is not desired. |
| `--toolsets`              | Comma-separated list of toolsets to enable. Check the [🛠️ Tools and Functionalities](#tools-and-functionalities) section for more information.                                                                                                                                               |
| `--disable-multi-cluster` | If set, the MCP server will disable multi-cluster support and will only use the current context from the kubeconfig file. This is useful if you want to restrict the MCP server to a single cluster.                                                                                          |
