Post-quantum readiness for AI coding agents: scans code for quantum-vulnerable cryptography (RSA/ECDH/ECDSA/DH) and returns NIST ML-KEM/ML-DSA/SLH-DSA (and hybrid) migration guidance, with fix verification and dependency checks. Content-based, advisory tools only; runs local (npx @quantakrypto/mcp) or as a hosted OAuth endpoint.

A read-only kubectl MCP server for AI assistants. The kubectl verb is hardcoded in each tool (get/describe/logs/events) and user input only fills argument values — no mutation path even with malicious input, and Secret/ConfigMap values are never returned (metadata only). Returns structured JSON, plus one-shot k8s_triage (health scan) and k8s_inventory (cluster snapshot).
