- [x] CORS configured properly
- [x] Rate limiting active
- [x] Metrics exposed
- [x] Health checks working
- [x] Logs are clean
- [x] Security hardening in place

### **Deployment Requirements** โ ๏ธ
Before deploying to production, ensure:
- [ ] **Wazuh Server**: 4.8.0 - 4.14.1 installed and accessible
- [ ] **Environment Variables**: Configure `.env` with real Wazuh credentials
- [ ] **HTTPS/TLS**: Set up reverse proxy (nginx/traefik) with valid certificates
- [ ] **API Key**: Securely store and distribute MCP API keys
- [ ] **Monitoring**: Configure Prometheus to scrape `/metrics` endpoint
- [ ] **Alerting**: Set up alerts for health check failures
- [ ] **Backup**: Plan for configuration backup and disaster recovery
- [ ] **Firewall**: Restrict access to port 3000 (or your configured port)
### **Post-Deployment Verification**
After deploying:
1. **Health Check**
```bash
curl https://your-domain.com/health
```
Should return status "healthy"
2. **MCP Connectivity**
```bash
curl https://your-domain.com/mcp \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
```
Should require authentication
3. **Metrics Collection**
```bash
curl https://your-domain.com/metrics
```
Should return Prometheus metrics
4. **Claude Desktop Test**
Configure in `claude_desktop_config.json` and verify tools appear

## ๐ฏ **Quality Assurance**
### **Code Quality** โ
- Python 3.13 compatible
- Type hints where applicable
- Docstrings for major functions
- Error handling comprehensive
- Logging structured and informative
### **Security Posture** โ
- No critical vulnerabilities detected
- All security best practices followed
- Container hardening implemented
- Authentication enforced
- Input validation active
### **Performance** โ
- Low resource usage
- Fast response times
- Efficient container
- Scalable architecture
- Production-grade monitoring
---
## ๐ **Known Limitations**
1. **Wazuh Connectivity**: Requires valid Wazuh instance (expected)
2. **Authentication**: API keys must be securely managed by deployer
3. **HTTPS**: Requires reverse proxy for TLS termination
4. **Scaling**: Stateful sessions limit horizontal scaling (use external session store for HA)
**Note**: These are **not bugs** - they are intentional design decisions that require proper production configuration.
