Docker
Connects directly to your local Docker socket and exposes container lifecycle operations (start, stop, restart, remove), log streaming, exec commands, and resource stats through MCP tools. Also handles image listing and removal. Built for developers who want to manage Docker workloads without leaving their AI coding assistant. No authentication needed since it uses the Unix socket or Windows named pipe. Useful when you're debugging services, checking container health, or need to quickly restart something that's misbehaving. Works with any MCP client that supports stdio transport. The exec_command tool is handy for running one-off commands inside containers without switching to a terminal.
