Docker MCP Server

Powerful Docker management for AI assistants

A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that empowers AI assistants like Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other MCP-compatible clients to seamlessly manage Docker containers, images, networks, volumes, and registries through natural language interactions.

Docker: common questions

Is Docker MCP server safe?
Mostly: it is graded B (75/100). Read the Docker safety report
How do I install Docker?
It runs on your machine. Copy the Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code or Claude Desktop config from the install section.
Does Docker need an API key?
Not as far as the registry entry and our scan can tell: no credentials are declared or required.
Is Docker maintained?
The last commit was 280 days ago (2026-01-27). The latest release is v0.2.4.
What can I use instead of Docker?
Servers from other publishers that do the same job: maintenant MCP server, Komodo MCP Server and Podman MCP server.
How does Docker compare with other Developer tools MCP servers?
safety score 75/100 (higher than 40% of 1,119 Developer tools servers); tools 56 (the typical Developer tools server has 7); tools that change things 25% (typical: 5%. Fewer write tools means less an agent can break). Full comparison.
