Docker MCP Server

基于MCP标准协议的Docker操作工具，支持标准的Docker CLI命令和Docker Compose操作。

MCP 协议支持

此服务器完全符合MCP（Model Context Protocol）标准，包括：

• 支持MCP协议版本：2024-11-05
• 初始化和生命周期管理
• 标准工具接口（tools/list, tools/call）
• 正确的错误处理（带有isError字段）
• 符合JSON-RPC 2.0消息格式

功能特性

基本容器操作

• list_containers - 列出所有Docker容器
• list_images - 列出所有Docker镜像
• run_container - 运行一个Docker容器，支持多种参数配置
• stop_container - 停止一个Docker容器
• remove_container - 移除一个Docker容器
• pull_image - 拉取一个Docker镜像

Docker Compose操作

• compose_up - 启动Docker Compose服务
• compose_down - 停止并移除Docker Compose服务
• compose_ps - 列出Docker Compose服务
• compose_logs - 查看Docker Compose服务的日志
• compose_build - 构建Docker Compose服务

特别说明: 支持Docker Compose的新老版本命令，自动在docker compose(新版)和docker-compose(旧版)之间切换。服务器会优先尝试新版命令格式，如失败则自动尝试使用旧版命令，以提供最大兼容性。

高级容器管理

• inspect_container - 展示容器的详细信息
• container_logs - 获取容器的日志
• exec_container - 在运行中的容器中执行命令
• container_stats - 显示容器资源使用情况统计

镜像管理

• build_image - 从Dockerfile构建镜像
• prune_images - 移除未使用的镜像

网络管理

• list_networks - 列出所有Docker网络
• create_network - 创建一个新的Docker网络
• remove_network - 移除一个Docker网络
• network_connect - 将容器连接到网络

卷管理

• list_volumes - 列出所有Docker卷
• create_volume - 创建一个Docker卷
• remove_volume - 移除一个Docker卷

系统信息

• system_info - 显示系统级信息
• system_df - 显示Docker磁盘使用情况

安全检查

• security_scan - 扫描Docker镜像中的漏洞（需要安装额外工具如trivy）

使用方法

1. 确保安装了NodeJS和Docker
2. 克隆仓库并安装依赖

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/docker-mcp.git
   cd docker-mcp
   npm install
   

3. 构建项目

   npm run build
   

4. 运行服务器

   npm start
   

与MCP客户端集成

任何支持MCP协议的客户端都可以与此服务器交互，例如：

1. 初始化连接：initialize
2. 获取可用工具列表：tools/list
3. 调用工具：tools/call 使用指定的工具名称和参数

Features

• List Docker containers
• List Docker images
• Run Docker containers
• Stop running containers

• Docker Compose installed (for Compose operations)
  • Both docker compose (V2, integrated) and docker-compose (V1, standalone) are supported

Install from npm

npm install -g docker-mcp-server

Install from source

1. Clone this repository
2. Install dependencies:

cd docker-mcp
npm install

3. Build the project:

npm run build

Usage

Running the server

docker-mcp-server

Or if installed from source:

npm start

Configuring with Claude

You can use the included installation script to automatically configure the Docker MCP server with Claude:

npm run install-config

This script will:

1. Detect your Claude installations (Desktop and/or VSCode)
2. Update the configuration files to include the Docker MCP server
3. Set up the correct paths for your system

Manual Configuration

If you prefer to configure manually, you need to add the Docker MCP server to your MCP settings configuration file:

For Claude Desktop App (macOS)

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docker-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/docker-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

For Claude in VSCode

Edit ~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docker-mcp": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/docker-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Note: After configuring the Docker MCP server in VS Code, you may need to restart VS Code for the changes to take effect in Cline. If you encounter issues with the Docker MCP server not being recognized or working properly in Cline, try restarting VS Code.
