# Kubernetes Manifest Audit (kube-linter) (`unbearable_dev/k8s-manifest-audit`) Actor Static audit of Kubernetes manifests via MCP. Powered by kube-linter — 63 checks across security, resources, availability, and config. Pay-per-event. Call from Claude Desktop, Cursor, n8n, or any MCP client. Built by Unbearable TechTips. - **URL**: https://apify.com/unbearable\_dev/k8s-manifest-audit.md - **Developed by:** [Noel Himer](https://apify.com/unbearable_dev) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, Automation, MCP servers - **Stats:** 1 total users, 0 monthly users, 0.0% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## k8s-manifest-audit > **k8s-manifest-audit** — static audit of Kubernetes manifests via MCP. Powered by kube-linter. Part of the Unbearable TechTips audit shop. **Built by [Unbearable TechTips](https://github.com/UnbearableDev).** 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 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. ### Tools | Tool | Pricing | Purpose | |------|---------|---------| | `audit_manifest(yaml_content)` | $0.02 | Audit a single YAML string (may contain multi-doc `---`) | | `audit_directory(files)` | $0.02 | Audit multiple files — cross-file checks work correctly | | `list_checks(enabled_only=False)` | $0.005 | Browse the full 63-check catalog with severity + category | | `explain_check(check_id)` | $0.005 | Get description + remediation for one specific check | ### Quick start ```json { "mcpServers": { "k8s-manifest-audit": { "url": "https://unbearable-dev--k8s-manifest-audit.apify.actor/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer " } } } } ```` ### Check catalog (sample — 63 checks total) | Check ID | Category | Severity (mapped) | |----------|----------|--------------------| | `privileged-container` | security | high | | `privilege-escalation-container` | security | high | | `run-as-non-root` | security | high | | `env-var-secret` | security | high | | `host-pid` / `host-ipc` / `host-network` | security | high | | `wildcard-in-rules` | rbac | high | | `cluster-admin-role-binding` | rbac | high | | `unset-cpu-requirements` | resources | medium | | `unset-memory-requirements` | resources | medium | | `no-liveness-probe` / `no-readiness-probe` | availability | medium | | `latest-tag` | images | medium | | `minimum-three-replicas` | availability | medium | | `no-rolling-update-strategy` | availability | medium | | `dangling-service` / `dangling-ingress` | config | low | | `use-namespace` | config | low | Use `list_checks` to get the full, up-to-date catalog. ### Pricing | Event | USD | |-------|-----| | `audit_manifest` or `audit_directory` call | $0.02 | | `list_checks` or `explain_check` call | $0.005 | Powered by [kube-linter](https://github.com/stackrox/kube-linter) (MIT, StackRox/Red Hat). *** Built by Noel @ Unbearable TechTips — more like this in the weekly newsletter \[link]. # Actor input Schema ## Actor input object example ```json {} ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
