docs_lookup
Fetch Docker SDK/CLI/registry reference documentation by section. Omit section to list all available sections; provide a section name to get its content.
Instructions
Look up Docker SDK/CLI/registry reference documentation by section.
A tool-callable mirror of the docker-docs:// resources, for clients that can't read MCP
resources (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor). Always registered regardless of
DOCKER_MCP_SERVER_DISABLE — looking something up costs nothing and isn't tied to any single
Docker feature area — but an individual section still refuses if the domain it documents is
disabled, matching the equivalent docker-docs://{section} resource exactly.
Omit section to list every available section with its source URL (same as
docker-docs://contents); pass a section name to fetch that page's content (same as
docker-docs://{section}). Most useful before constructing an extra_kwargs-style passthrough
dict for a tool like container_run/container_create/service_create (their docstrings only
list common keys, not every key docker-py accepts), or before writing Compose/Dockerfile/buildx
bake-file syntax, which no tool generates.
args: section - Section name (from a no-argument call's index); omit to list all sections instead
returns: str - JSON section index (no section) or that section's raw HTML/Markdown content
