Docker Mcp
Connects to your local Docker daemon (via Unix socket or Windows named pipe) and exposes the full Docker API to Claude or Cursor. You get container lifecycle management, image operations, network and volume handling, plus Docker Compose support. Includes registry integration for Docker Hub and GHCR. The notable bit is the two-step confirmation system for destructive operations, either through a confirm parameter or the MCP Elicitation API. Works out of the box with npx, auto-detects your platform's socket path, and handles everything from `docker ps` equivalents to building images from Dockerfiles. Reach for this when you want to manage Docker infrastructure through natural language without switching to the CLI.
