Docker container management and Dockerfile analysis

The server provides Docker management tools and Dockerfile analysis for AI agents via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It exposes tooling to inspect containers, images, Dockerfiles, and Compose configurations through MCP integration.

🛠️ Key Features

Tools to inspect containers, images, Dockerfiles, and Compose configurations
MCP-based access for LLMs to run and analyze Docker resources
Provides details such as status, ports, image, created time, resource usage, and layer counts

🚀 Use Cases

Inspect running or all containers and their resource usage
List Docker images with metadata (size, tags, creation date, layers)
Analyze Dockerfiles to support automation and auditing
Integrate Docker data into AI-agent workflows via MCP

⚡ Developer Benefits

Grounded, protocol-based tooling for model-context workflows
Structured, machine-readable outputs for seamless integration
Reusable tools for container and image discovery within MCP-enabled agents

⚠️ Limitations

Description

docker_container_list

List running or all containers with status, ports, image, created time, and resource usage (CPU, memory, network/block I/O)

docker_image_list

docker_dockerfile_analyze

Analyze a Dockerfile for best practices: multi-stage builds, non-root user, layer caching, image size, security

docker_compose_analyze

Analyze docker-compose.yml: services, ports, volumes, networks, health checks, dependencies, and improvement suggestions

docker_container_logs

Get container logs with tail, keyword filter, time range, and timestamp support
