An MCP server that gives Claude hands-on control of Docker — containers, images, compose stacks, and volumes.
View on GitHub ↗An MCP server that gives an LLM (Claude, etc.) direct control over your local Docker daemon — run and manage containers, images, volumes, networks, and Compose stacks through natural language.
Built with FastMCP and the Docker SDK for Python.
- Python = 3.14 - Docker installed and running locally (Docker Desktop, Docker Engine, etc.) - Docker Compose v2 CLI (docker compose) available on PATH — required for the stack/compose tools - uv for dependency management
This creates a .venv and installs the dependencies pinned in uv.lock.
The server communicates over stdio, so it's meant to be launched by an MCP client rather than run standalone in a terminal.
Connecting to Claude Desktop / Claude Code
Add an entry to your MCP client's configuration (e.g. claudedesktopconfig.json):
Restart the client and the tools below become available to the model.
