The official Docker MCP server gives AI agents full control over your Docker environment. Build images, run containers, manage networks, and orchestrate multi-service applications through natural language.
Features:
- List, start, stop, and remove containers
- Build Docker images from Dockerfiles
- Manage Docker volumes and networks
- Run docker-compose up/down/scale
- Stream container logs in real time
- Inspect container health and resource usage
- Push/pull images from Docker Hub and private registries
- Execute commands inside running containers
Use cases:
- "Start the postgres and redis containers from my compose file"
- "Show me logs from the api container in the last 10 minutes"
- "Build a new image from the current directory and tag it v2.1"
- "Which containers are using more than 500MB of memory?"
Built and maintained by Docker. Connects to the local Docker socket — no remote credentials needed.
