## Description
kube-linter audit for Kubernetes manifests — 63 checks: security, availability, RBAC, network.

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "kubernetes-manifest-audit": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","kubernetes-manifest-audit"]
  }
}
```

# k8s-manifest-audit

## What it does

Point any MCP-capable client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, n8n, Make, Zapier, custom agents) at this server, hand it a Kubernetes manifest or directory of manifests, get back a structured report:

- **Severity** — high / medium / low / info
- **Check ID** — kube-linter check name (e.g. `privileged-container`, `unset-cpu-requirements`)
- **Category** — security / resources / availability / network / rbac / images / config
- **Message** — what kube-linter found and where
- **Remediation hint** — what to do about it
- **Object location** — kind, name, namespace of the offending resource

63 checks total (31 enabled by default). Covers Deployment, Service, Ingress, ConfigMap, Secret, StatefulSet, DaemonSet, Job, CronJob, NetworkPolicy, RBAC, HPA, PDB, and more.
