FAQ from ChatGPT MCP Server

What exactly does the ChatGPT MCP Server do?

It provides Docker management capabilities, allowing users to control Docker containers through natural language via a custom GPT interface, using the Model Context Protocol.

How do I install the ChatGPT MCP Server?

Install automatically via Smithery with the command npx -y @smithery/cli install @Toowiredd/chatgpt-mcp-server --client claude, or manually by cloning the repository, installing dependencies, setting environment variables, and building with npm.

What runtime or dependencies are required?

The server requires Node.js and Docker. It runs inside a Docker container and mounts the host’s Docker socket (/var/run/docker.sock) to interact with Docker.

What environment variables are needed?

Key variables: API_KEY for authentication, HTTP_PORT (default 3001), RATE_LIMIT_REQUESTS, and RATE_LIMIT_WINDOW for rate limiting.

How does the server handle shutdown and errors?

It performs a graceful shutdown on SIGINT, SIGTERM, and SIGQUIT: rejects new connections, allows active requests to complete (with timeout), closes keep-alive connections, releases ports, and cleans up resources. Port conflicts, unhandled rejections, and network errors are properly caught.
