Can I use the GKE MCP server in ChatGPT?+

ChatGPT connects to remote MCP servers only. Google Kubernetes Engine has a hosted URL: at chatgpt.com/plugins choose + > Add custom MCP server, paste the URL and create it as a plugin.

Is it safe to give an AI agent access to GKE?+

Start with the official server, a read-only or test account and approval prompts on for anything that writes. Content the agent reads from GKE (tickets, messages, pages) can carry prompt-injection instructions, so don't auto-approve actions.
