Docker MCP Gateway

docker mcp gateway run

  "mcpServers": {
    "docker-mcp-gateway": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [

Docker's mcp CLI plugin starts a single gateway that clients connect to, while each backing server runs in its own container with limited host privileges. Servers are grouped into profiles that can be sourced from the Docker MCP catalog, an OCI image, a local file or the MCP registry, and the same profile can be attached to several editors so they stay in sync. Secrets live in Docker's secret store instead of client config files, and the gateway handles OAuth flows for servers that need them.
