Summary generated from the project's README
About Ankra MCP server
Ankra provides a specialized interface for AI agents to manage the entire lifecycle of Kubernetes environments. It allows developers to use Cursor and Claude Code to build, ship, and operate clusters, application stacks, logs, metrics, and security configurations. The system functions by connecting your agent to a hosted Ankra MCP server, which provides specific agent skills and slash commands designed for container orchestration.
To use this server, Claude Code users can install the plugin via the terminal using a specific marketplace command. Cursor users can set up the plugin locally by copying the files to their local plugin directory and reloading the window. The connection to the hosted server for Cursor requires a browser sign-in. This setup enables an AI agent to act as a DevOps engineer by executing complex infrastructure tasks through the Ankra ecosystem.

View on GitHubAnkra plugin for Cursor and Claude Code
The Ankra plugin for Cursor and Claude Code. It connects the agent to the hosted Ankra MCP server and adds Ankra's agent skills and slash commands for building, shipping and operating Kubernetes through Ankra.
For Claude Code, run this in a terminal:
claude plugin install ankra --marketplace ankraio/cursor-plugin
Using the plugin: see plugins/ankra/README.md.

SOURCE the ankra-cli release the skills and commands came from
scripts/
sync-from-cli.sh regenerate skills and commands
sync-latest-release.sh download, verify and sync a release (used by the scheduled workflow)
validate-template.mjs Cursor's plugin validator, from cursor/plugin-template
Updating the skills and commands
The skills and commands are maintained in ankraio/ankra-cli (internal/skills) and also ship through ankra skills install. Change them there, cut a CLI release, then regenerate this plugin from that release:
brew upgrade ankra # the installed CLI must match the release
scripts/sync-from-cli.sh # defaults to the installed CLI's version
node scripts/validate-template.mjs
Bump version in plugins/ankra/.cursor-plugin/plugin.json and plugins/ankra/.claude-plugin/plugin.json when the plugin content changes. The two stay equal; CI checks it. Claude Code users stay on a version until it changes, so a content change without a bump never reaches them.
This also runs on its own: the Sync from ankra-cli release workflow (.github/workflows/sync-from-cli.yml) checks ankra-cli's latest stable release every morning. When it is newer than plugins/ankra/SOURCE, scripts/sync-latest-release.sh downloads that release's binary, verifies its checksum, regenerates the skills and commands, bumps the minor version and validates, and the workflow opens (or updates) a pull request from sync/ankra-cli-release. It uses only the repository's GITHUB_TOKEN. Run it by hand from the Actions tab, optionally with a tag or as a dry_run. The same script works locally without an installed ankra:
scripts/sync-latest-release.sh # latest stable release
scripts/sync-latest-release.sh v0.30.0 # a specific release
Testing locally
Claude Code:
claude plugin validate --strict plugins/ankra
claude plugin validate .
claude --plugin-dir plugins/ankra
Cursor:
mkdir -p ~/.cursor/plugins/local
cp -R plugins/ankra ~/.cursor/plugins/local/ankra-marketplace
Reload Cursor (Developer: Reload Window) and check that the rule, skills, commands and the ankra MCP server appear. If ankra skills install already wrote a local ankra plugin, move it aside while testing so the two do not overlap.

Ankra MCP questions
How do I add Ankra MCP to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add --transport http platform https://platform.ankra.app/api/v1/mcp in your terminal. Add --scope user to make it available in every project.
How do I add Ankra MCP to Cursor?
Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json and add the server under mcpServers, using the Cursor config shown in the install section above.
How do I test the plugin locally in Cursor?
Create a local plugin directory and copy the plugin files there, then reload the Cursor window.
