Radar
In short: Radar is a open-source coding AI tool. Open-source Kubernetes UI plus MCP server (Apache-2.0, skyhook-io/radar): topology, events, Helm, GitOps, live traffic and audits for humans, and the same view for coding agents via MCP so “Investigate” can root-cause without blind kubectl. #8 on Product Hunt on Oct 29; OSS free forever, Radar Cloud adds fleets/alerts. Stronger agent surface than a plain dashboard; you still need cluster access and K8s literacy. X Buzz Score: 41/100 (155 posts in 7 days).

Use this if you run Kubernetes and want your coding agent the same live cluster picture you see in a UI, not just kubectl dumps.
