Was kann man mit Docker Toolkit MCP machen?

  • MCP-Katalog durchsuchen — bitten Sie den Assistenten, verfügbare Server aus dem Docker MCP-Katalog mit list_servers aufzulisten.
  • Server inspizieren — fordern Sie Details wie Version, Beschreibung und Laufzeitkonfiguration für einen bestimmten Server mit get_server an.
  • Profile verwalten — erstellen, auflisten oder löschen Sie benannte Serverprofile für verschiedene Projekte über create_profile, list_profiles und delete_profile.
  • Server zu einem Profil hinzufügen — fügen Sie Katalogserver mit add_server_to_profile zu einem Profil hinzu, damit sie für KI-Clients bereit sind.
  • Client verbinden — registrieren Sie eine KI-Anwendung wie Claude Code oder Cursor über register_client bei einem Profil.

Docker MCP Catalog and Toolkit

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how AI applications access external tools and data sources. By connecting LLMs to local development tools, databases, APIs, and other resources, MCP extends their capabilities beyond their base training.

The challenge is that running MCP servers locally creates operational friction. Each server requires separate installation and configuration for every application you use. You run untrusted code directly on your machine, manage updates manually, and troubleshoot dependency conflicts yourself. Configure a GitHub server for Claude, then configure it again for Cursor, and so on. Each time you manage credentials, permissions, and environment setup.

Docker MCP features

The MCP Toolkit and MCP Gateway solve these challenges through centralized management. Instead of configuring each server for every AI application separately, you set things up once and connect all your clients to it. The workflow centers on three concepts: catalogs, profiles, and clients.

Catalogs are curated collections of MCP servers. The Docker MCP Catalog provides 300+ verified servers packaged as container images with versioning, provenance, and security updates. Organizations can create custom catalogs with approved servers for their teams.

Profiles organize servers into named collections for different projects. Your "web-dev" profile might use GitHub and Playwright; your "backend" profile, database tools. Profiles support both containerized servers from catalogs and remote MCP servers. Configure a profile once, then share it across clients or with your team.

Clients are the AI applications that connect to your profiles. Claude Code, Cursor, Zed, and others connect through the MCP Gateway, which routes requests to the right server and handles authentication and lifecycle management.

[!NOTE] MCP Gateway as part of Docker AI Governance is an invite-only feature. Contact Docker Sales to learn more.
