COMPLETED: Docker Model Context Protocol Server - Enterprise Edition
This project has successfully created a comprehensive MCP server for Docker operations with advanced natural language command processing, now enhanced with enterprise-level features including project management, remote Docker support, monitoring, and backup capabilities.
## What Was Built
### š§ Core Components (Enhanced)
- **TypeScript MCP Server** (`src/index.ts`) - Enterprise-featured Docker MCP server
- **Advanced Natural Language Parser** - Converts plain English to Docker commands with 300+ patterns
- **14 Docker Tools**:
1. `execute_docker_command` - General command execution with NLP
2. `docker_compose_advanced` - Plan+apply project management (NEW!)
3. `docker_remote_connection` - Remote Docker host management (NEW!)
4. `docker_monitoring_advanced` - Enhanced monitoring with health checks (NEW!)
5. `docker_backup_migration` - Backup and migration operations (NEW!)
6. `create_container` - Advanced container creation with health checks (ENHANCED!)
7. `manage_containers` - Container lifecycle management
8. `manage_images` - Image operations (pull, build, remove)
9. `manage_volumes` - Volume management system
10. `manage_networks` - Network administration
11. `docker_registry` - Registry and search operations
12. `docker_monitoring` - Basic monitoring and troubleshooting
13. `docker_info` - System information and stats
14. `docker_compose` - Traditional Docker Compose service management
- **Enhanced Docker Help Resource** - Comprehensive documentation with new features
### š Enterprise Features (NEW!)
#### Project Management with Plan+Apply Workflow
