What is ORAS MCP Server?
ORAS MCP Server is an MCP server that enables registry-aware chat interactions within VS Code agent mode. It uses the oras-go library to query OCI-compliant registries and does not depend on the oras CLI. It is designed for developers who want to ask questions about container images and their metadata during coding sessions.
How to use ORAS MCP Server?
Configure the server in .vscode/mcp.json either by running the Docker image (ghcr.io/oras-project/oras-mcp:main serve) or by downloading a released binary and pointing the command to oras-mcp serve. Authentication uses credentials from Docker or ORAS login; on Linux the Docker config can be mounted for container use, while macOS/Windows require the binary.
