Istio Mcp Sample
What is Istio Mcp Sample
istio-mcp-sample is a sample implementation of a gRPC server that utilizes MCP-over-XDSv3 for Istio, providing a way to manage configuration and service discovery in a microservices architecture.
Use cases
Use cases for istio-mcp-sample include managing configurations for microservices, enabling service discovery in Kubernetes clusters, and providing a sample implementation for developers to understand MCP-over-XDSv3 integration.
How to use
To use istio-mcp-sample, install ‘ko’ locally to build and publish the container image. Then, apply the deployment manifest using ‘ko apply -f deploy.yaml’. Finally, configure the server as an ‘istiod’ configSource in your IstioOperator manifest.
Key features
Key features of istio-mcp-sample include support for MCP-over-XDSv3, easy deployment to Kubernetes, and integration with Istio’s configuration management through the ‘istiod’ service.
Where to use
istio-mcp-sample can be used in environments where Istio is deployed, particularly in microservices architectures that require efficient service discovery and configuration management.

Istio MCP-over-XDSv3 server sample
A sample implementation of a MCP-over-XDSv3 gRPC server for Istio.
Usage
To build and publish the container image and deploy the server to Kubernetes using the generated container image,
install ko locally, then apply the deployment manifest:
ko apply -f deploy.yaml
Then, configure the server as an istiod configSource:
apiVersion: install.istio.io/v1alpha1
kind: IstioOperator
spec:
profile: minimal
meshConfig:
configSources:
- address: xds://mcp-sample.default.svc.cluster.local:15010
- address: k8s://
