Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@MCP Manager show me the audit logs for the GitHub MCP server from yesterday"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

Installing and running MCP servers locally is equivalent to installing and running any other software on your computer. Locally running MCP servers have unlimited access to all your files, creating risks of data exfiltration, token theft, virus infection and propagation, or data encryption attacks (Ransomware).
Docker is a containerization solution that is free, open source, and widely supported across all major operating systems.
Running MCP servers inside Docker containers allows you to run them in a sandboxed environment that you have complete control over. You decide which files and folders to expose to the container, can define rules for HTTP and WebSocket traffic, and selectively expose environment variables instead of unintentionally leaking secrets.
Using Docker to containerize your MCP servers reduces security risks and gives you more control over what data and capabilities the server has access to. It's not a complete bulletproof solution, however, because if you're not careful, you can still give Docker containers running locally unfettered access to your VPN / private networks.
We understand that learning complex technologies like Docker can be intimidating, but we've made our best effort to provide you with examples, documentation, and helpful scripts to get you started running MCPs securely.
