Network Intelligence for Kubernetes
- Cluster-wide, real-time visibility into every packet, API call, and service interaction.
- Replay any moment in time.
- Resolve incidents at the speed of LLMs. 100% on-premises.
Get Started
helm repo add kubeshark https://helm.kubeshark.com
helm install kubeshark kubeshark/kubeshark
Dashboard opens automatically. You're capturing traffic.
With AI — connect your assistant and debug with natural language:
brew install kubeshark
claude mcp add kubeshark -- kubeshark mcp
"Why did checkout fail at 2:15 PM?" "Which services have error rates above 1%?"
Why Kubeshark
- Instant root cause — trace requests across services, see exact errors
- Zero instrumentation — no code changes, no SDKs, just deploy
- Full payload capture — request/response bodies, headers, timing
- TLS decryption — see encrypted traffic without managing keys
- AI-ready — query traffic with natural language via MCP
Traffic Analysis and API Dissection
Capture and inspect every API call across your cluster—HTTP, gRPC, Redis, Kafka, DNS, and more. Request/response matching with full payloads, parsed according to protocol specifications. Headers, timing, and complete context. Zero instrumentation required.
L4/L7 Workload Map
Visualize how your services communicate. See dependencies, traffic flow, and identify anomalies at a glance.
AI-Powered Root Cause Analysis
Resolve production issues in minutes instead of hours. Connect your AI assistant and investigate incidents using natural language. Build network-aware AI agents for forensics, monitoring, compliance, and security.
"Why did checkout fail at 2:15 PM?" "Which services have error rates above 1%?" "Trace request abc123 through all services"
Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible AI.
Traffic Retention
Retain every packet. Take snapshots. Export PCAP files. Replay any moment in time.
