# Docker Deployment Guide
This guide explains how to use MCP Creator Growth with Docker.
## Quick Start
### 1. Build the Image
```bash
docker build -t mcp-creator-growth .
```
### 2. Run with Docker
For interactive use:
```bash
docker run -i mcp-creator-growth
```
### 3. Run with Docker Compose
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `MCP_DEBUG` | `false` | Enable debug logging |
| `HOME` | `/data` | Home directory for persistent storage |
### Volume Mounts
Mount your project directory to allow the MCP server to access your code:
```bash
docker run -i \
-v $(pwd):/workspace \
-w /workspace \
mcp-creator-growth
```
## Using with Claude Desktop
Add this configuration to your Claude Desktop MCP settings:
### macOS/Linux
Edit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-creator-growth": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"-v",
"/path/to/your/project:/workspace",
"-w",
"/workspace",
"mcp-creator-growth"
]
}
}
}
```
### Windows
Edit `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-creator-growth": {
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"-i",
"--rm",
"-v",
"C:\\path\\to\\your\\project:/workspace",
"-w",
"/workspace",
"mcp-creator-growth"
]
}
}
}
```
## Persistent Storage
By default, learning sessions and debug records are stored in `/data/.mcp-sidecar` inside the container.
To persist this data:
```bash
docker run -i \
-v mcp-data:/data/.mcp-sidecar \
mcp-creator-growth
```
Or use the provided docker-compose.yml which includes a named volume.
## Publishing to Docker Hub
To share your image on Docker Hub:
```bash
# Tag the image
docker tag mcp-creator-growth:latest your-username/mcp-creator-growth:latest
# Push to Docker Hub
docker push your-username/mcp-creator-growth:latest
```
## Glama.ai Integration
This Docker setup is optimized for use with [Glama.ai](https://glama.ai/mcp/servers/@SunflowersLwtech/mcp_creator_growth).
Users can pull and run your MCP server directly:
```bash
docker pull sunflowerslwtech/mcp-creator-growth:latest
docker run -i sunflowerslwtech/mcp-creator-growth:latest
```
## Troubleshooting
### Server Not Responding
Check if the container is running:
```bash
docker ps -a
```
View logs:
```bash
docker logs mcp-creator-growth
```
### Permission Issues
Ensure volumes have proper permissions:
```bash
docker run -i -u $(id -u):$(id -g) \
-v $(pwd):/workspace \
mcp-creator-growth
```
### Debug Mode
Enable debug logging:
```bash
docker run -i -e MCP_DEBUG=true mcp-creator-growth
```
## Security Considerations
- The default Dockerfile runs as root. For production, consider creating a non-root user.
- Mount volumes as read-only (`:ro`) when possible to limit container access.
- Use specific tags instead of `latest` for reproducible builds.
## Building for Multiple Architectures
To build multi-platform images (e.g., for ARM and x86):
```bash
docker buildx build \
--platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \
-t your-username/mcp-creator-growth:latest \
--push .
```
