Docker MCP Server - Enterprise Edition

A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides enterprise-level Docker functionality through natural language commands. This enhanced server includes advanced project management, remote Docker support, monitoring, backup capabilities, and much more.

🚀 Enterprise Features

🧠 Advanced Natural Language Processing

The server now understands complex natural language patterns and provides extensive Docker command coverage:

Container Management:

• "show me all stopped containers" → docker ps -a --filter "status=exited"

• "start nginx container" / "launch the web server" → docker start nginx

• "follow logs from api container for last 50 lines" → docker logs -f --tail 50 api

• "execute bash in the web container" → docker exec -it web bash

• "what processes are running in database container" → docker top database

Project-Based Management:

• "plan project wordpress with wordpress and mysql database on port 9000"

• "apply the deployment plan"

• "status project myapp"

• "destroy project completely"

Remote Docker Support:

• "connect to ssh://user@production.server.com"

• "status of remote connection"

• "test connection to remote docker"

• "disconnect from remote host"

Advanced Monitoring:

• "live stats for all containers"

• "health check for nginx container"

• "system events since yesterday"

• "performance overview"

Backup & Migration:

• "backup container production-api"

• "export project ecommerce to /backups"

• "list all available backups"

• "cleanup backups older than 7 days"
