What problem does it solve?
You need authoritative Chainguard answers and hardened Dockerfile or apko/melange output without tab-hopping across docs and hand-editing risky base images.
Who is it for?
Founders shipping containers who want Chainguard-aligned images, MCP-backed doc lookup, and codegen assistance before production deploy.
Skip if: Pure frontend or no-container projects that never publish images or care about supply-chain bases.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After registering the marketplace, your agent can query Chainguard docs through MCP and emit migration-aware, security-focused container codegen in the same session.
- MCP-backed Chainguard documentation answers in the agent session
- Draft secure Dockerfiles, apko/melange configs, and migration notes toward Chainguard Containers

Journey fit
Chainguard plugins target secure containerization and migration at the moment you harden artifacts before production, which aligns with Ship security work. Documentation MCP plus codegen for Dockerfiles, apko, melange, and Chainguard Container migration are supply-chain and image-hardening tasks, not greenfield app UI.
How it compares
Official secure-container plugin marketplace with MCP docs, not a generic code-review or web-agent bundle.
