The assistant does not talk to Kiali directly. It talks to an MCP server, and that server calls the Kiali API with the caller&rsquo;s Kubernetes token.</p> <p>This is separate from the <a href="https://staging--kiali.netlify.app/docs/ai/chatbot/kiali-chatbot/">Kiali Chatbot</a>. The chatbot runs inside the Kiali UI and uses Kiali&rsquo;s own tools. Kiali MCP is for an assistant outside Kiali, for example an IDE, that should use the same mesh data.</p>
