Docker MCP Server

io.github.hypnosis/docker-mcp-serverv2.0.1Docker & Containers

Docker for AI agents — containers, compose stacks, logs and databases, locally or over SSH.

The current version, v2.0.1, was published to the official MCP registry on 2026-08-24. It is distributed as @hypnosis/docker-mcp-server on npm, filed under Docker & Containers by this index, and declares 4 environment variables. Removals and unreachable sources are measured across every server this index tracks, contract drift across the servers that answer in consecutive snapshots; the index's current counts put this record in context.

In-path gate · all MCP tools

Using Docker MCP Server in Claude, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Cline, or Zed?

MCP tool contracts can change remotely with no version bump. The mcpindex gate pins each contract and HOLDs the call when it drifts-before your agent acts. Zero credentials. This is not the package install for this server itself (use Install this server for that).

Install the mcpindex gate (one command)

Rewrites your MCP host config so each server launches behind the gate. Inspect first: curl -fsSL https://mcpindex.ai/install.sh | less

Trust verdict · v1 advisory · method
NOT YET SCREENEDno verdict on file

Verdict not yet evaluated for this tool. The semantic screen takes adversarial cases first; coverage rolls out as the corpus expands (15/150 labels to graduation). The deterministic conformance probe is built but has not yet run on the public corpus, so a recorded verdict here is REVIEW or UNVERIFIED, never a clearing ALLOW. Until a verdict is recorded, an agent should treat this tool as not-yet-cleared and fall back to its own checks. Method: the eval, four-state verdict, honest limits.

That verdict was true at screening time (snapshot 2026-08-24).

Contracts can change after screening, with no version bump. The gate pins Docker MCP Server’s tool contracts on first sight and holds any silent change before your agent acts - the check that keeps being true on Tuesday.

Environment variables
DOCKER_MCP_PROFILES_FILE

Absolute path to the JSON file describing the Docker hosts this agent may reach. Without it the server answers about the Docker on this machine.

DOCKER_PROFILES

The same profiles JSON inline, used when no profiles file is set.

DOCKER_MCP_ALLOW_SSH_FALLBACK

Keep going when a profile's SSH key is missing, instead of refusing the profile. Defaults to false.

LOG_LEVEL

Log verbosity: error, warn, info or debug. Defaults to info.
