⁠Use from an AI agent (MCP)

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

{ "mcpServers": { "mssql-container-licence-lint": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@readystack/mssql-container-licence-lint", "--mcp"] } } }

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

⁠Use in CI

- name: SQL Server Docker Licence Lint (MSSQL_PID)
  run: npx -y @readystack/mssql-container-licence-lint --dir . --ci

(container: docker run --rm -v "$PWD:/work" getreadystack/mssql-container-licence-lint --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.
