Pare Docker tools (13, 2 write)

write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • build

    Builds a Docker image and returns structured build results including image ID, duration, and errors. Use instead of running `docker build` in the terminal.

  • compose-down

    Stops Docker Compose services and returns structured status. Use instead of running `docker compose down` in the terminal.

  • compose-ps

    Lists Docker Compose services with structured state and status information. Use instead of running `docker compose ps` in the terminal.

  • compose-up

    Starts Docker Compose services and returns structured status. Use instead of running `docker compose up` in the terminal.

  • execwrite action

    Executes arbitrary commands inside a running Docker container and returns structured output.

  • images

    Lists Docker images with structured repository, tag, size, and creation info. Use instead of running `docker images` in the terminal.

  • inspect

    Shows detailed container or image information with structured state, image, and platform data. Use instead of running `docker inspect` in the terminal.

  • logs

    Retrieves container logs as structured line arrays. Use instead of running `docker logs` in the terminal.

  • network-ls

    Lists Docker networks with structured driver and scope information. Use instead of running `docker network ls` in the terminal.

  • ps

    Lists Docker containers with structured status, ports, and state information. Use instead of running `docker ps` in the terminal.

  • pull

    Pulls a Docker image from a registry and returns structured result with digest info. Use instead of running `docker pull` in the terminal.

  • runwrite action

    Runs a Docker container from an image and returns structured container ID and status. Use instead of running `docker run` in the terminal.

  • volume-ls

    Lists Docker volumes with structured driver, mountpoint, and scope information. Use instead of running `docker volume ls` in the terminal.

What the publisher says

From the Pare Docker repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

  Pare

Reliable, structured CLI output for AI agents — no more parsing fragile terminal text.

Pare provides MCP servers that wrap common developer tools (git, npm, docker, test runners, etc.) and return clean, schema-validated JSON instead of raw terminal text. Agents get typed data they can act on directly, without brittle string parsing.

The Problem

Parsing CLI output is fragile. Raw terminal text includes ANSI escape codes, decorative headers, progress bars, locale-specific formatting, and platform differences that break agent workflows in subtle ways. An agent that works fine with git status on macOS may fail on Windows because the output format changed. A test runner's summary line might shift between versions, silently breaking a regex.

Pare eliminates this entire class of errors by returning schema-validated JSON with consistent field names, regardless of platform, tool version, or locale. As a bonus, structured output is significantly smaller — agents use fewer tokens per tool call:

Token estimates use ~4 chars/token. The biggest savings appear on verbose commands (builds, installs, tests). For simpler tools like eslint or tsc, the main advantage is reliable structured data — agents can use typed JSON directly rather than parsing strings.

How It Works

Each Pare tool returns two outputs:

  • content — human-readable text, for MCP clients that display it
  • structuredContent — typed, schema-validated JSON, ready for agents to process

This uses MCP's structuredContent and outputSchema features to provide type-safe, validated data that agents can rely on without custom parsing.

Example: git status

Raw git output (~118 tokens):

On branch main
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/main' by 2 commits.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
