Implementation Reference

• src/docker.ts:73-77 (handler)

  The handler function that implements the start_container tool logic. It gets a Docker container by ID and starts it using the Dockerode API.

  export async function startContainer(id: string): Promise<string> {
    const container = docker.getContainer(id);
    await container.start();
    return `Container ${id} started`;
  }

• src/index.ts:70-78 (registration)

  Registration of the start_container tool with the MCP server. Defines the tool name, description, input schema, and handler function.

  server.tool(
    "start_container",
    "Start a stopped Docker container.",
    { id: z.string().describe("Container ID or name") },
    async ({ id }) => {
      const result = await startContainer(id);
      return { content: [{ type: "text", text: result }] };
    },
  );

• src/index.ts:73-73 (schema)

  Input schema definition for start_container tool using Zod. Validates that the 'id' parameter is a string representing the container ID or name.

  { id: z.string().describe("Container ID or name") },
