### Creative Implementation Highlights
Our Docker MCP Gateway integration showcases several innovative patterns:
#### 1. **Intelligent Agricultural Tool Orchestration**
```yaml
# agricultural-ai-catalog.yaml - Production catalog with intelligent routing
registry:
agricultural-ai-unified:
description: "Unified agricultural intelligence with smart tool selection"
tools:
- name: "crop-price"
description: "Real-time crop price data from government sources"
- name: "search"
description: "Agricultural news and research intelligence"
metadata:
category: "agriculture"
tags: ["ai", "crops", "intelligence", "unified"]
featured: true
```
#### 2. **Dynamic Server Management**
```bash
# Runtime server management through MCP Gateway
docker mcp catalog create agricultural-ai-production
docker mcp catalog add agricultural-ai-production unified ./agricultural-ai-catalog.yaml
docker mcp gateway run --use-configured-catalogs --transport=sse
