-## Architecture
-
-### Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integration
-
-The Kubectl MCP Tool implements the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/spec), enabling AI assistants to interact with Kubernetes clusters through a standardized interface. The architecture consists of:
-
-1. **MCP Server**: A compliant server that handles requests from MCP clients (AI assistants)
-2. **Tools Registry**: Registers Kubernetes operations as MCP tools with schemas
-3. **Transport Layer**: Supports stdio, SSE, and HTTP transport methods
-4. **Core Operations**: Translates tool calls to Kubernetes API operations
-5. **Response Formatter**: Converts Kubernetes responses to MCP-compliant responses
-
-### Request Flow
-
-![Request Flow](./image.png)
-
-### Dual Mode Operation
-
-The tool operates in two modes:
+### 80+ MCP Tools for Complete Kubernetes Management
 
-1. **CLI Mode**: Direct command-line interface for executing Kubernetes operations
-2. **Server Mode**: Running as an MCP server to handle requests from AI assistants

-
-## Docker Image
-
-Pre-built images are available on Docker Hub:
+### Docker
 
 ```bash
 # Pull the latest image
 docker pull rohitghumare64/kubectl-mcp-server:latest
 
-# Or use the official MCP catalog image
-docker pull mcp/kubectl-mcp-server:latest
-```
-
-### Docker MCP Toolkit Integration
-
-This image is compatible with [Docker MCP Toolkit](https://docs.docker.com/ai/mcp-catalog-and-toolkit/toolkit/). The Toolkit provides a streamlined way to run MCP servers with Claude, Cursor, and other AI assistants.
-
-**Quick Setup with Docker MCP Toolkit:**
-
-1. **Add the server to Docker MCP Toolkit:**
-   ```bash
-   docker mcp server add kubectl-mcp-server mcp/kubectl-mcp-server:latest
-   ```
-
-2. **Configure kubeconfig access:**
-   ```bash
-   docker mcp server configure kubectl-mcp-server --volume "$HOME/.kube:/root/.kube:ro"
-   ```
-
-3. **Enable the server:**
-   ```bash
-   docker mcp server enable kubectl-mcp-server
-   ```
-
-4. **Connect your AI client** (e.g., Claude Desktop):
-   ```bash
-   docker mcp client connect claude
-   ```
-
-The server uses **stdio transport** by default for Docker MCP Toolkit compatibility.
-
-### Running the image (Standalone)
-
-For SSE/HTTP transport (without Docker MCP Toolkit):
-
-```bash
-# SSE transport on port 8000
-docker run -p 8081:8000 \
-           -v $HOME/.kube:/root/.kube:ro \
-           rohitghumare64/kubectl-mcp-server:latest \
-           --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
-```
-
-For stdio transport (for direct MCP client connections):
-
-```bash
-docker run -i \
-           -v $HOME/.kube:/root/.kube:ro \
-           rohitghumare64/kubectl-mcp-server:latest
-```
-
-* `-i` enables interactive mode for stdio transport
-* `-v $HOME/.kube:/root/.kube:ro` mounts kubeconfig as read-only
-
-### Building a multi-architecture image (AMD64 & ARM64)
-
-If you want to build and push a multi-arch image (so it runs on both x86_64 and Apple Silicon), use Docker Buildx:
-
-```bash
-# Ensure Buildx and QEMU are installed once per machine
-# docker buildx create --name multiarch --use
-# docker buildx inspect --bootstrap
-
-# Build and push for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64
-# (replace <your_username> if you're publishing to your own registry)
-
-docker buildx build \
-  --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
-  -t rohitghumare64/kubectl-mcp-server:latest \
-  --push .
-```
-
-The published image will contain a manifest list with both architectures, and Docker will automatically pull the correct variant on each machine.
-
-### Configuration
-
-The MCP server is allowed to access these paths to read your Kubernetes configuration:
-
-```yaml
-run:
-  volumes:
-    - '{{kubectl-mcp-server.kubeconfig}}:/root/.kube'
-config:
-  description: The MCP server is allowed to access this path
-  parameters:
-    type: object
-    properties:
-      kubeconfig:
-        type: string
-        default:
-          $HOME/.kube
-    required:
-      - kubeconfig
-```
-
-This configuration allows users to add their kubeconfig directory to the container, enabling the MCP server to authenticate with their Kubernetes cluster.
-
-## Transport Modes
-
-The MCP server supports multiple transport protocols:
-
-### stdio (default)
-Standard input/output transport, used by most MCP clients like Claude Desktop and Cursor:
-```bash
-python -m kubectl_mcp_tool.mcp_server --transport stdio
-```
-
-### SSE (Server-Sent Events)
-HTTP-based transport using Server-Sent Events:
-```bash
-python -m kubectl_mcp_tool.mcp_server --transport sse --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
-```
-
-### HTTP / Streamable HTTP
-Standard HTTP transport for clients that prefer JSON-RPC over HTTP:
-```bash
-python -m kubectl_mcp_tool.mcp_server --transport http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
-# or
-python -m kubectl_mcp_tool.mcp_server --transport streamable-http --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
-```
-
-### Command-Line Options
-- `--transport`: Transport mode (`stdio`, `sse`, `http`, `streamable-http`). Default: `stdio`
-- `--host`: Host to bind for network transports. Default: `0.0.0.0`
-- `--port`: Port for network transports. Default: `8000`
-- `--non-destructive`: Block destructive operations (delete, apply, create, etc.)
-
-## Multi-Cluster Support
-
-The MCP server provides full multi-cluster support through context management:
-
-```bash
-# List all available contexts
-list_contexts
-
-# Switch to a different cluster
-switch_context --context_name production
-
-# Get details about a specific context
-get_context_details --context_name staging
+# Run with stdio transport
+docker run -i -v $HOME/.kube:/root/.kube:ro rohitghumare64/kubectl-mcp-server:latest
 
-# Set default namespace for a context
-set_namespace_for_context --namespace kube-system --context_name production
+# Run with SSE transport
+docker run -p 8000:8000 -v $HOME/.kube:/root/.kube:ro rohitghumare64/kubectl-mcp-server:latest --transport sse
 ```
 
-For detailed monitoring features documentation, see [Monitoring Guide](./docs/monitoring.md).

-## Usage with AI Assistants
-
-### Using the MCP Server
-
-The MCP Server (`kubectl_mcp_tool.mcp_server`) is a robust implementation built on the FastMCP SDK that provides enhanced compatibility across different AI assistants:
-
-> **Note**: If you encounter any errors with the MCP Server implementation, you can fall back to using the minimal wrapper by replacing `kubectl_mcp_tool.mcp_server` with `kubectl_mcp_tool.minimal_wrapper` in your configuration. The minimal wrapper provides basic capabilities with simpler implementation.

+## Architecture
+
+```
+┌─────────────────┐     ┌──────────────────┐     ┌─────────────────┐
+│   AI Assistant  │────▶│   MCP Server     │────▶│  Kubernetes API │
+│ (Claude/Cursor) │◀────│ (kubectl-mcp)    │◀────│    (kubectl)    │
+└─────────────────┘     └──────────────────┘     └─────────────────┘
+```
+
+The MCP server implements the [Model Context Protocol](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/spec), translating natural language requests into kubectl operations.
+
+## Multi-Cluster Support
+
+```bash
+# List contexts
+list_contexts
+
+# Switch cluster
+switch_context --context_name production
+
+# Get context details
+get_context_details --context_name staging
+```
+
+## Development & Testing
+
+### Setup Development Environment
+
+```bash
+# Clone the repository
+git clone https://github.com/rohitg00/kubectl-mcp-server.git
+cd kubectl-mcp-server
+
+# Create virtual environment
+python -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
+
+# Install development dependencies
+pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
 ```
