docker-mcpA docker MCP Server (modelcontextprotocol)

docker-mcp is a powerful Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Docker operations, enabling seamless container and compose stack management through Claude AI. It provides several features, including container creation and instantiation, Docker Compose stack deployment, container logs retrieval, and container listing and status monitoring. To use docker-mcp, a user must have Python 3.12+, Docker Desktop or Docker Engine, and Claude Desktop installed. The server can be installed via Smithery, and its configuration is added to the Claude Desktop config file. docker-mcp provides the following tools: * create-container: creates a standalone Docker container * deploy-compose: deploys a Docker Compose stack * get-logs: retrieves logs from a specific container * list-containers: lists all Docker containers However, it currently has some limitations, including lack of built-in environment variable support for containers, volume management, network management, container health checks, container restart policies, and container resource limits. This project is licensed under the MIT License and contributions are welcome through the development process. The server is developed in Python and uses UV as its package manager. The documentation includes instructions for development configuration and production configuration, as well as debugging and available tools.
