mcp-infra-scanner

Cloud infrastructure scanning for misconfigurations and compliance gaps automates continuous monitoring for security and architectural best practices using the MCP protocol. It evaluates cloud resource inventories and IaC files to identify vulnerabilities before production deployment.

CIS benchmark compliance verification checks system configurations against established security standards across cloud providers. The scanner requires authentication with cloud provider credentials and configuration files to validate encryption settings, logging setups, and network security rules.

Infrastructure scanning audits IaC configuration files from Terraform, CloudFormation, and Pulumi against best practices. It checks for security vulnerabilities in infrastructure-as-code definitions to ensure compliance before deployment.

Cloud resource inventory scans require authentication with cloud provider credentials and configuration files. You need the respective command line interfaces like awscli, gcloud, or azcli configured to allow the scanner to list active resources and perform security checks.

Auditing IaC files for security vulnerabilities is best handled by automated scanning that compares configurations against CIS benchmarks and best practices. This ensures continuous monitoring of network security, encryption settings, and logging setups across your infrastructure.

Cloud security scanning requires command line tools like awscli, gcloud, and azcli to authenticate with cloud provider credentials and access resource inventories. These dependencies allow the scanner to query active infrastructure and verify compliance settings.
