kubescape
Kubescape is an open-source Kubernetes security platform for your IDE, CI/CD pipelines, and clusters. It includes risk analysis, security, compliance, and misconfiguration scanning, saving Kubernetes users and administrators precious time, effort, and resources.
The Kubescape MCP server integrates Kubernetes security scanning capabilities into AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol. It exposes vulnerability and configuration scan results as queryable tools, enabling natural language interactions about cluster security posture. Developers can connect their AI assistants to live Kubescape data to ask questions about CVEs, misconfigurations, and compliance issues directly within their workflow. The server provides structured access to vulnerability manifests, configuration security scans, and detailed CVE information from running clusters.
