+## Kiali integration
+
+This server can expose Kiali tools so assistants can query mesh information (e.g., mesh status/graph).
+
+### Enable the Kiali toolset
+
+You can enable the Kiali tools via config or flags.
+
+Config (TOML):
+
+```toml
+toolsets = ["core", "kiali"]
+
+[kiali]
+url = "https://kiali.example"
+# insecure = true  # optional: allow insecure TLS
+```
+
+Flags:
+
+```bash
+kubernetes-mcp-server \
+  --toolsets core,kiali \
+  --kiali-url https://kiali.example \
+  [--kiali-insecure]
+```
+
+When the `kiali` toolset is enabled, a Kiali URL is required. Without it, the server will refuse to start.
+
+### How authentication works
+
+- The server uses your existing Kubernetes credentials (from kubeconfig or in-cluster) to set a bearer token for Kiali calls.
+- If you pass an HTTP Authorization header to the MCP HTTP endpoint, that is not required for Kiali; Kiali calls use the server's configured token.
+
+### Available tools (initial)
+
+- `mesh_status`: retrieves mesh components status from Kiali’s mesh graph endpoint.
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+- Error: "kiali-url is required when kiali tools are enabled" → provide `--kiali-url` or set `[kiali].url` in the config TOML.
+- TLS issues against Kiali → try `--kiali-insecure` or `[kiali].insecure = true` for non-production environments.
