Overview
What is Oriel?
Oriel is a fast, local Docker GUI and MCP server that lets users manage Docker and Colima through natural language via any MCP client (Claude, Cursor, a local LLM). It uses the same validated, secret-masked tools as its GUI, integrating with Docker Engine, Colima, OrbStack, Podman, or a remote daemon.
How to use Oriel?
Install via brew install ParadoxInfinite/oriel/oriel (macOS/Linux, ~13 MB Go binary). Add the configuration { "mcpServers": { "oriel": { "command": "oriel", "args": ["mcp"] } } } to your MCP client. For destructive actions, first run oriel ai allow-destructive --for 6h to grant a time-boxed permission; read operations require no grant.
