Overview

Docker-MCP-Server is an MCP server that exposes Docker management capabilities through the Model Context Protocol. It covers the full Docker management surface, enabling users to manage, maintain, and audit multiple Docker environments programmatically. Built in Python, it integrates with MCP-compatible clients to provide tool-based access to Docker operations.
