You can operate Docker via an MCP server that translates your commands into Docker CLI actions. This lets you list containers and images, run or stop containers, remove them, and pull images using a consistent MCP interface from supported clients.

How to use

After you configure a client to talk to the Docker MCP Server, you can perform common Docker operations through natural prompts. For example, ask the client to list all containers, run a new container from an image, pull an image from a registry, or stop and remove containers. The MCP server exposes a small set of actions that map directly to Docker commands, so you can accomplish typical container workflows without typing Docker CLI commands yourself.

How to install

Prerequisites you must have before installing the MCP server:

Node.js 18 or higher
Docker installed and running on your system
