Stop AI from Hallucinating Your Kubernetes YAML

Building a Deterministic vCluster Validation MCP Server to Ground AI in Real Schemas
You ask an AI to generate a Kubernetes manifest, Helm chart values, or Ansible playbook. It responds instantly with clean, well-formatted YAML. You apply it. Nothing works.
This isn't a bug—it's AI hallucination. The AI knows YAML syntax but hallucinates config options that don't exist, mixes incompatible versions, or confidently suggests deprecated fields. It generates what looks right based on patterns, not what is right according to actual schemas.
