An MCP server that provides structured, token-efficient wrappers around Docker CLI and Docker Compose commands for AI agents. It can list containers and images, build and run containers, fetch logs, execute commands in containers, and start or stop compose services.

From the registry: Structured Docker operations (ps, images, logs, build) as typed JSON.

Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest

Please install the `docker` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install Node.js and npm/npx** — Node.js is required to run the MCP server via npx. (https://nodejs.org/)
- **Install Docker** — Docker must be installed and available on the system because this MCP server wraps docker and docker compose commands. (https://www.docker.com/)

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `npx`

Note: This server is distributed as a single MCP package in the Pare suite. No environment variables are documented in the README.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
