The record

Purpose: srelens is a Kubernetes desktop workspace for browsing, inspecting, and operating clusters.
Resource coverage: It supports browsing across 40+ Kubernetes resource kinds, including workloads, networking, storage, RBAC, admission, autoscaling, and custom resources.
Investigation tools: The workspace includes live watches, log streaming, in-pod terminals, port forwarding, Helm release views, and a schema-aware YAML editor.
Metrics: CPU and memory metrics for nodes and pods are provided through Kubernetes Metrics Server.
Cluster actions: Users can scale and restart workloads and cordon, drain, or evict nodes; destructive actions require confirmation.
Integrations: The built-in MCP server connects to MCP clients such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Codex over stdio or loopback HTTP.
Local access: The desktop app connects directly to Kubernetes API servers using credentials from local kubeconfig files, with no intermediary srelens cloud service.
Authorization: Available operations are governed by the selected context’s Kubernetes credentials and RBAC permissions.
Credential handling: Added kubeconfig files remain local, and pasted configs are stored in the application directory.
Secrets: Kubernetes Secret values are masked by default and revealed per key.
MCP safety: Mutating MCP tools require an explicit confirmation argument, and the desktop HTTP server binds to loopback rather than external interfaces.
Package security: macOS builds are Developer ID signed and notarized; Windows code signing is on the roadmap, and Linux assets include Tauri updater signatures.
Web deployment: The security page describes an optional multi-user web server and says production deployments require authentication, TLS termination, a stable master key, and RAM-backed storage for decrypted runtime material.
Support: The documentation directs users to open a GitHub issue with safely shareable application log details for reproducible bugs.
