Krypton

Kubernetes-native runtime for AI agents and MCP servers. Deploy any A2A / MCP / HTTP container as a first-class Agent CRD; Krypton handles scheduling, scaling, invocation routing, and lifecycle.

Why Krypton

• Framework-agnostic. LangGraph, Google ADK, custom HTTP, plain MCP — if it speaks HTTP or stdio, it runs.
• Protocol-native. First-class A2A and MCP routing through the gateway; no shim, no envelope rewriting.
• Your container, as-is. No SDK to import, no base image to inherit. Bring a Dockerfile, point an Agent resource at it.
• Batteries included. Built-in operator UI, Prometheus metrics, scale-from-zero activator, per-pod proxy sidecar.
• One CRD describes the whole thing. Image, protocol, scaling, routing, env — all in a single Agent resource.

Quickstart

Install the chart:

helm install krypton oci://ghcr.io/kryptonhq/charts/krypton \
  --namespace krypton-system \
  --create-namespace

This installs the most recent chart; the chart's appVersion pins the matching image tags. To pin a specific release, pass --version X.Y.Z.

Deploy the no-secrets helloworld agent and invoke it:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kryptonhq/runtime/main/examples/agent/python/helloworld/agent.yaml
kubectl -n krypton-system port-forward svc/krypton-gateway 8080:8080 &

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/v1/agents/agents/helloworld/ \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"1","method":"message/send",
          "params":{"message":{"messageId":"m1","role":"user",
            "parts":[{"kind":"text","text":"ping"}]}}}'

You should see a JSON-RPC reply with "state": "completed". The agent is also visible in the operator UI on the control plane (kubectl -n krypton-system port-forward svc/krypton-control-plane 8090:8090, then open http://localhost:8090/ui/).

Status

Pre-alpha. APIs (CRD shape, gateway URL scheme, Helm values) are still moving. Pin to a tagged release if you're trying it out; expect breaking changes between minor versions until v1.0.
