Manages container lifecycle through Docker, allowing creation, monitoring, and orchestration of server processes in Docker containers. Supports running services from Docker images with resource management and configuration.
Integrates with GitHub for repository cloning, allowing users to deploy applications directly from GitHub repositories.
Supports running NPX commands in Node.js containers, enabling management of Node.js applications through the panel's orchestration capabilities.
Sectional MCP Panel Documentation
Overview
The Sectional MCP Panel is a comprehensive management service designed to orchestrate and monitor multiple server processes organized into logical sections. It provides a centralized control panel for starting, stopping, and monitoring servers, with support for containerization and resource management.
Architecture
The Sectional MCP Panel is built with a modular architecture consisting of the following components:
Database Layer: Handles persistence of panel configuration, sections, servers, tasks, and audit logs
Configuration System: Manages hierarchical configuration with inheritance (global → section → server)
Runtime Engine: Manages container lifecycle using Docker
Orchestration Engine: Coordinates operations across servers and sections
API Layer: Provides RESTful endpoints for all operations
Web UI: Offers a user-friendly interface for management
Installation
Prerequisites
Docker and Docker Compose
Access to Docker socket for container management
Using Docker Compose
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-org/mcp-panel.git cd mcp-panelConfigure the application:
mkdir -p config data cp config/default_config.json config/Start the application:
docker-compose up -dAccess the UI:
http://localhost:8000/ui
Manual Installation
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-org/mcp-panel.git cd mcp-panelCreate a virtual environment:
python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activateInstall dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txtConfigure the application:
mkdir -p config data cp config/default_config.json config/Start the application:
./start.sh
Configuration
The Sectional MCP Panel uses a JSON-based configuration system with a hierarchical structure:
Global Defaults: Applied to all servers
Section Settings: Override global defaults for servers in a section
Server Settings: Override section and global settings for a specific server
Configuration Schema
API Reference

User Interface
The Sectional MCP Panel provides a web-based user interface for managing sections and servers. The UI is accessible at http://localhost:8000/ui
and includes the following features:
Dashboard with overview of all sections and servers
Section management (add, edit, delete)
Server management (add, edit, delete, start, stop, restart)
Task monitoring
Panel configuration
Runtime Types
The Sectional MCP Panel supports the following runtime types:
docker_image
: Run a Docker container from an imagenpx_command
: Run an NPX command in a Node.js container
Security Considerations
The Sectional MCP Panel requires access to the Docker socket, which has security implications
In production environments, consider implementing authentication and authorization
Restrict access to the API and UI using network controls
Use secure environment variables for sensitive information
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
Docker not available: Ensure Docker is installed and the Docker socket is accessible
Permission denied: Ensure the user running the application has permission to access the Docker socket
Database errors: Check that the data directory is writable
Configuration errors: Validate your configuration against the schema
