### Description (declared)

# Docker MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables LLMs to safely execute code in isolated Docker containers with strict resource limits and security controls.

## Features

- 🔒 **Secure Isolation**: Containers run with strict resource limits (memory, CPU, PIDs)
- 🏷️ **Session Management**: Group containers by session with persistent workspaces
- ♻️ **Container Reuse**: Optimize performance by reusing existing containers
- 📦 **Smart Dependencies**: Auto-detect and install packages (pip, npm, apt, apk)
- 🔄 **Streaming Output**: Real-time output for long-running processes
- 💾 **Persistent Workspaces**: Session-based volumes maintain state across executions

## Installation

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/cevatkerim/docker-mcp.git
cd docker-mcp

# Install in development mode
pip install -e .

# Install development dependencies
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
```

## Prerequisites

- Python 3.10+
- Docker Engine running locally
- MCP-compatible client (e.g., Claude Desktop)

## Quick Start

### 1. Start the MCP Server

```bash
python -m docker_mcp
```

### 2. Configure Your MCP Client

Add to your MCP client configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "docker": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "docker_mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

## Available Tools

### 1. check_engine
Check Docker engine availability and version.

```python
result = check_engine()
# Returns: Docker version and status
```

### 2. list_containers
List Docker containers with optional filtering.

```python
result = list_containers(
    show_all=True,  # Show all containers, not just running
    session_id="my-session"  # Filter by session
)
```

### 3. create_container
Create and start a new container with resource limits.

```python
result = create_container(
    image="python:3.11-slim",
    name="my-container",
    session_id="my-session",
    network_enabled=False,  # Network isolation by default
    reuse_existing=True,    # Re…
