Guardrails won't save you. AI agents need real access control, lifecycle management, and identity governance — the same way any employee does.
I built a single MCP server that gives Claude Code full operational control over my homelab — 112 tools across twelve services, from Kubernetes and Terraform to secret management and monitoring. Here's how MCP turns an AI assistant into an infrastructure operator.
You lock down your firewall and rotate your secrets, then blindly helm install a chart from a repo with 12 stars. Supply chain risk is the homelab blind spot nobody talks about.
The QNAP TVS-1282T3 may be a 2017 NAS, but with dual 10GbE, Thunderbolt 3, 12 bays, and enterprise storage features, it's a homelab bargain in 2026.
SSH keys that never expire, sudo with no password, API tokens scattered across scripts — your homelab probably has more access control problems than you think. Here's how to tackle the problem like a CISO.
Your homelab is real infrastructure. Here’s how to think about it like a Chief Information Security Officer — from risk assessment to incident response.
Stop clicking through the UniFi GUI. Use Terraform with the filipowm/unifi provider and Claude Code to version-control your VLANs, firewall rules, SSIDs, and switch port profiles — and rebuild your entire network from a git repo.
