Tool: `create_cluster`

Creates a new GKE cluster in a given project and location. It's recommended to read the GKE documentation to understand cluster configuration options. Cluster creation will default to Autopilot mode, as recommended by GKE best practices. If the user explicitly wants to create a Standard cluster, you need to set autopilot.enabled=false in the cluster configuration. This is similar to running gcloud container clusters create-auto or gcloud container clusters create .

The following sample demonstrate how to use curl to invoke the create_cluster MCP tool.

Input Schema

MCPCreateClusterRequest creates a new cluster.

MCPCreateClusterRequest

JSON representation
{ "parent" : string , "cluster" : string }

Fields

Fields
`parent`	`string` Required. The parent (project and location) where the cluster will be created. Specified in the format `projects//locations/` .
`cluster`	`string` Required. A cluster resource represented as a string using JSON format.

parent

string

Required. The parent (project and location) where the cluster will be created. Specified in the format projects/*/locations/* .

cluster

string

Required. A cluster resource represented as a string using JSON format.

Output Schema

MCPOperation wraps the GKE Operation with an errors field.

MCPOperation

JSON representation
{ "operation" : string , "errors" : [ { object ( `Status` ) } ] }

Fields

Fields
`operation`	`string` JSON string of the GKE Operation object. See: https://docs.cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.locations.operations
`errors[]`	`object ( Status )` Errors encountered during the operation.

operation

string

JSON string of the GKE Operation object. See: https://docs.cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/reference/rest/v1/projects.locations.operations

errors[]

object ( Status )

Errors encountered during the operation.

Status

JSON representation
{ "code" : integer , "message" : string , "details" : [ { "@type" : string , field1 : ... , ... } ] }

Fields

Fields
`code`	`integer` The status code, which should be an enum value of `google.rpc.Code` .
`message`	`string` A developer-facing error message, which should be in English. Any user-facing error message should be localized and sent in the `google.rpc.Status.details` field, or localized by the client.
`details[]`	`object` A list of messages that carry the error details. There is a common set of message types for APIs to use. An object containing fields of an arbitrary type. An additional field `"@type"` contains a URI identifying the type. Example: `{ "id": 1234, "@type": "types.example.com/standard/id" }` .

code

integer

The status code, which should be an enum value of google.rpc.Code .

message

string

A developer-facing error message, which should be in English. Any user-facing error message should be localized and sent in the google.rpc.Status.details field, or localized by the client.

details[]

object

A list of messages that carry the error details. There is a common set of message types for APIs to use.

An object containing fields of an arbitrary type. An additional field "@type" contains a URI identifying the type. Example: { "id": 1234, "@type": "types.example.com/standard/id" } .

Any

JSON representation
{ "typeUrl" : string , "value" : string }

Fields

Fields
`typeUrl`	`string` Identifies the type of the serialized Protobuf message with a URI reference consisting of a prefix ending in a slash and the fully-qualified type name. Example: type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.StringValue This string must contain at least one `/` character, and the content after the last `/` must be the fully-qualified name of the type in canonical form, without a leading dot. Do not write a scheme on these URI references so that clients do not attempt to contact them. The prefix is arbitrary and Protobuf implementations are expected to simply strip off everything up to and including the last `/` to identify the type. `type.googleapis.com/` is a common default prefix that some legacy implementations require. This prefix does not indicate the origin of the type, and URIs containing it are not expected to respond to any requests. All type URL strings must be legal URI references with the additional restriction (for the text format) that the content of the reference must consist only of alphanumeric characters, percent-encoded escapes, and characters in the following set (not including the outer backticks): `/-.~_!$&()*+,;=` . Despite our allowing percent encodings, implementations should not unescape them to prevent confusion with existing parsers. For example, `type.googleapis.com%2FFoo` should be rejected. In the original design of `Any` , the possibility of launching a type resolution service at these type URLs was considered but Protobuf never implemented one and considers contacting these URLs to be problematic and a potential security issue. Do not attempt to contact type URLs.
`value`	`string ( bytes format)` Holds a Protobuf serialization of the type described by type_url. A base64-encoded string.

typeUrl

string

Identifies the type of the serialized Protobuf message with a URI reference consisting of a prefix ending in a slash and the fully-qualified type name.

Example: type.googleapis.com/google.protobuf.StringValue

This string must contain at least one / character, and the content after the last / must be the fully-qualified name of the type in canonical form, without a leading dot. Do not write a scheme on these URI references so that clients do not attempt to contact them.

The prefix is arbitrary and Protobuf implementations are expected to simply strip off everything up to and including the last / to identify the type. type.googleapis.com/ is a common default prefix that some legacy implementations require.
