| 43 | ## Why Radar? |
| 44 | |
| 45 | - **Zero install on your cluster** — runs on your laptop, talks to the K8s API directly |
| 46 | - **Single binary** — no dependencies, no agents, no CRDs |
| 47 | - **Fast on big clusters** — tested on tens of thousands of pods, with responsive views and live updates under real cluster churn |
| 48 | - **Private by design** — your cluster data stays on your machine. No account, no agents, no cloud sync, no cluster telemetry |
| 49 | - **Airgapped-friendly** — runs as a single binary against the Kubernetes API and works in locked-down environments with outbound egress blocked |
| 50 | - **Real-time** — watches your cluster via informers, pushes updates to the browser via SSE |
| 51 | - **Works everywhere** — GKE, EKS, AKS, minikube, kind, k3s, or any conformant cluster |
| 52 | - **AI-ready** — built-in [MCP server](docs/mcp.md) lets AI agents query your cluster through Radar |
| 53 | - **In-cluster option** — deploy with Helm for shared team access with RBAC-scoped permissions |

| 61 | **Quick Install:** |

| 67 | ```bash |
| 68 | brew install skyhook-io/tap/radar |
| 69 | ``` |
| 70 | |
| 71 | Then run: `kubectl radar`. Quick install, PowerShell, Homebrew, and Scoop also set up the `radar` shorthand. Krew and direct downloads use `kubectl radar` unless you add your own `radar` symlink. |
