dsh-docker-desktop-mcp

@comecaramelos/dsh-docker-desktop-mcp

DSH plugin that connects the Docker Desktop MCP gateway (docker mcp gateway run --profile <name>) as an MCP server, with a profile picker in the Web GUI — instead of hardcoding --profile in the config row.

Install

From npm (recommended):

dsh plugin --profile web add /path/to/dsh-docker-desktop-mcp

Manual install (WSL + Windows pnpm, where symlinks fail):

mkdir -p ~/.dsh/profiles/web/node_modules/@comecaramelos
ln -s /path/to/dsh-docker-desktop-mcp ~/.dsh/profiles/web/node_modules/@comecaramelos/dsh-docker-desktop-mcp
# Add to ~/.dsh/profiles/web/package.json dependencies:
#   "@comecaramelos/dsh-docker-desktop-mcp": "file:/path/to/dsh-docker-desktop-mcp"

Then replace (or create) your dsh-mcp-client row in $DSH_HOME/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml:

# before
- id: mcp-docker
  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-mcp-client'
  config:
    serverName: docker
    transport: stdio
    command: docker
    args: ['mcp', 'gateway', 'run', '--profile', 'default']

# after
- id: mcp-docker
  name: '@comecaramelos/dsh-docker-desktop-mcp'
  config:
    serverName: docker
    profile: default

With patchReload: live the host half reloads automatically; refresh the browser for the picker card.

Why this over the default config

  • Profile picker in Settings — switch Docker MCP profiles without editing cordis.patch.yml. Selection persists in $DSH_HOME/settings.yaml.

  • Refresh profiles button — runs docker mcp profile list --format json and repopulates the select from the host.

  • Hot reconnect — picking a profile re-applies the gateway with the new --profile in place; no restart needed.

  • Profile precedence: UI selection > DSH_DOCKER_MCP_PROFILE env var > row config > "default". Seed a machine default via env, switch per-run from UI.
