# Docker MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Docker container management, providing tools to automate Docker operations through AI agents.

## Features
- Container lifecycle management
- Real-time container status monitoring
- Docker API integration via Dockerode
- MCP protocol implementation for AI-driven automation

## Installation
```bash
cd docker-mcp
npm install

Configuration

Ensure Docker is running and configure connection in config/docker.config.js:

// Example configuration
>>>>>>> 6e98bb6301c09b419ffc162c14b7a36ab249c4ea
export const dockerConfig = {
  socketPath: process.env.DOCKER_SOCKET || '/var/run/docker.sock'
};

MCP Configuration ⚡

6e98bb6301c09b419ffc162c14b7a36ab249c4ea Add the server to your MCP configuration file (cline_mcp_settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dockerMcp": {
      "command": "node",
<<<<<<< HEAD
      "args": ["D:/Lern2025/mcp/docker-mcp/index.js"],
=======
      "args": ["docker-mcp/index.js"],
>>>>>>> 6e98bb6301c09b419ffc162c14b7a36ab249c4ea
      "env": {},
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

This configuration will:

1. Make the Docker MCP server available system-wide
2. Auto-start with your development environment
3. Allow seamless integration with other MCP tools
