Security Report

5.2
Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

docker-mcp-server is a well-architected Docker management MCP server with comprehensive security documentation and reasonable auth/permission scoping. The codebase demonstrates good security practices including environment variable handling, CLI argument sanitization, and no hardcoded credentials. However, the server's inherent privilege model (daemon-level access) and several design decisions that trade control for usability introduce moderate-risk scenarios that users must understand and actively mitigate. Package verification found 1 issue (1 critical, 0 high severity).
