Dockerfile Lint MCP

A community MCP server that lints Dockerfiles to identify security and best-practice issues, including root users, latest tags, secrets in ENV or ARG, missing HEALTHCHECK, apt without cleanup, and ADD vs COPY usage. It is part of a collection of small MCP servers for everyday development and security checks, built with TypeScript and stdio.
