Overview

What is 🐳 docker-mcp?

🐳 docker-mcp is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables Claude AI to manage Docker containers and Docker Compose stacks directly from the Claude Desktop interface. It is designed for developers who want to control their Docker environment using natural language commands through Claude.

How to use 🐳 docker-mcp?

Add the server configuration to your Claude Desktop config file (MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json, Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json) using the command uvx docker-mcp. Alternatively, install it automatically via Smithery with npx @smithery/cli install docker-mcp --client claude. Prerequisites include UV package manager, Python 3.12+, Docker Desktop or Docker Engine, and Claude Desktop.

Key features of 🐳 docker-mcp

Container creation and instantiation (create-container)
Docker Compose stack deployment (deploy-compose)
Container logs retrieval (get-logs)
Container listing and status monitoring (list-containers)

Use cases of 🐳 docker-mcp

Deploying a multi-service Docker Compose stack through a chat interface.
Inspecting container logs to debug errors without leaving Claude.
Creating and managing containers on-demand with natural language prompts.
Listing all running containers and checking their status via conversation.
