Hadolint-grade Dockerfile audit as an MCP server. 18+ checks across 5 categories, every finding ships with severity, line number, remediation text, and a copy-paste Dockerfile snippet.

Built by Unbearable TechTips. Pay-per-event pricing — only billed when a tool is actually called.


What it does

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

  • Severity — high / medium / low / info
  • Line number — exact location in the file
  • Description — what's wrong and why it matters
  • Remediation — what to do about it
  • Fix snippet — Dockerfile syntax you can paste directly

Tools

ToolPurpose
audit_dockerfile(dockerfile_content? | dockerfile_url?, min_severity='low')Run all checks
check_base_image(...)FROM/tag/digest/registry checks only
check_instructions(...)CMD form, ADD vs COPY, MAINTAINER, etc.
check_security(...)USER, sudo, chmod 777, curl|bash, hardcoded secrets, HEALTHCHECK
check_efficiency(...)apt cache hygiene, pip caching
check_secrets(...)ARG with secret-pattern names
list_checks(category?)Browse the full check catalog

Provide exactly one of dockerfile_content (paste the file) or dockerfile_url (HTTPS URL — e.g. GitHub raw).

Check catalog (v1: 18 checks across 5 categories)
