Docker Compose Security Audit

MCP server that audits docker-compose.yml files for security misconfigurations. Trivy-grade check catalog, designed for AI agents — every finding ships with a severity rating, full remediation text, and a YAML fix snippet you can paste.

Built by Unbearable Labs. Pay-per-event pricing — you only pay when an audit runs.

Available on

Apify Actor Store — primary, metered usage (PPE)
MCPize — pending submission
MCP.so — pending submission
PulseMCP — pending submission
Smithery — pending submission

What it does

Point any MCP-capable client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, n8n, Make, Zapier, custom agents) at this server, hand it the contents of a docker-compose.yml, and get back a structured report with:

Severity — high / medium / low / info
Service — which compose service the finding affects
Description — what's wrong and why it matters
Remediation — what to do about it
Fix snippet — YAML you can paste directly into the file

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`audit_compose(compose_yaml? \| compose_url?, min_severity='low')`	Run all checks, return full report
`check_privilege(...)`	Container privilege & capability issues only
`check_network(...)`	Network exposure issues only
`check_filesystem(...)`	Volume mount & filesystem issues only
`check_secrets(...)`	Secret hygiene issues only
`check_resources(...)`	Resource limit issues only
`check_image_hygiene(...)`	Image tag / registry / pinning issues only
`check_runtime_lifecycle(...)`	Healthcheck / restart / init issues only
`check_logging(...)`	Logging driver / rotation issues only
`check_compose_hygiene(...)`	Deprecated fields / Compose-spec hygiene only
`list_checks(category?)`	Browse the full check catalog

All audit-running tools accept the same input:

compose_yaml (string) — paste the YAML content directly, OR
compose_url (string) — public HTTPS URL to fetch (e.g. GitHub raw URL)

Provide exactly one. min_severity defaults to low (drops info findings); set to medium or high to filter further.

Add to your MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "compose-audit": {
      "transport": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://YOUR-ACTOR-URL.apify.actor/mcp"

  }
}

(Replace YOUR-ACTOR-URL with the Standby URL shown on the Apify Store page after you start the Actor.)

Limits

YAML size: 1 MB cap per audit call
URL fetch: 5-second timeout, max 3 redirects, HTTPS only
Session timeout: 5 minutes of inactivity

What's NOT covered (yet)

Pure static analysis of the compose file only. Out of scope for this version:

Image vulnerability scanning (use Trivy / Grype for that)
Live container inspection
Kubernetes / Helm manifests (different surface)
Dockerfile-specific lint (use Hadolint)

The next 29 checks on the v1.x → v2 roadmap include build-context security, additional capability checks, secret-pattern detection in build args, and registry trust verification.
