### Description (declared)

# python-docker-mcp

Dockerized Python execution environment for AI agents.

## Overview

This MCP server provides a safe, sandboxed Python execution environment for LLM-powered agents. It allows agents to:

- Execute Python code in isolated Docker containers
- Choose between transient or persistent execution environments
- Install packages as needed for specific tasks
- Maintain state between execution steps

## Installation

### Requirements

- Docker must be installed and running on the host system
- Python 3.11 or later
- `uv` for package management (recommended)

### Install from PyPI

```bash
# Using uv (recommended)
uv pip install python-docker-mcp

# Using pip
pip install python-docker-mcp
```

### Install from Source

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

# Install with uv
uv pip install -e .

# Or with pip
pip install -e .
```

## Quick Start

### Running the Server

The python-docker-mcp server can be started directly using the module:

```bash
python -m python_docker_mcp
```

This will start the MCP server and listen for JSONRPC requests on stdin/stdout.

## Components

### Docker Execution Environment

The server implements two types of execution environments:

1. **Transient Environment**
   - Each execution is isolated in a fresh container
   - State must be explicitly passed and returned between calls
   - Safer for one-off code execution

2. **Persistent Environment**
   - Maintains state between executions
   - Variables defined in one execution are available in subsequent executions
   - Suitable for interactive, stateful REPL-like sessions

### Preinstalled Packages

The Docker containers come with several common scientific and data analysis libraries preinstalled:

- **NumPy**: For numerical computing
- **Pandas**: For data manipulation and analysis
- **SciPy**: For scientific computing and technical computing
- **Matplotlib**: For creating visualizations
- **scikit-learn…
