getreadystack/connection-string-secret-audit repository overview

⁠Connection String & Secret Audit — 8 Stacks

26 rules and 32 safe-replacement snippets for hardcoded connection strings, keys and kubeconfigs across 8 VS Code stacks. Runs on your machine and sends nothing anywhere.

⁠Run

docker run --rm -v "$PWD":/work getreadystack/connection-string-secret-audit /work/file

The same 26 rules as the VS Code extension, in a container. Mount a folder on /work.

⁠Free

• Audits the file you have open, or only the lines you highlighted, against all 26 rules and prints every finding with its line number; inserts any of the 32 safe replacement snippets at the cursor; lists every rule and snippet that ships inside. No key, no account, nothing leaves the machine.
• --rules lists every rule

⁠With a licence ($29 once)

• Runs that same audit across every file in the workspace instead of one, and writes the findings out as a CSV, JSON or HTML file you keep in the repo and hand to a reviewer or an auditor.

docker run --rm -e READYSTACK_LICENSE=<key> -v "$PWD":/work getreadystack/connection-string-secret-audit --dir /work --ci

⁠Use from an AI agent (MCP)

Claude Code · Cursor · Windsurf · any MCP client - add to your MCP config:

{ "mcpServers": { "connection-string-secret-audit": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@readystack/connection-string-secret-audit", "--mcp"] } } }

Tools: check_text and check_file (free) · check_dir (licence). The agent gets every finding with the line number.

⁠Use in CI

- name: Connection String & Secret Audit — 8 Stacks
  run: npx -y @readystack/connection-string-secret-audit --dir . --ci

(container: docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/work" getreadystack/connection-string-secret-audit --dir /work --ci)

The folder sweep, reports and CI mode need one licence — one payment, no subscription. Set READYSTACK_LICENSE=<key> or run --license <key> once.
