ContainerCraft

Container workstation over docker or podman. One craft replacing the docker-mcp, podman-mcp and kubernetes-mcp container verbs.

Verbs

  • containercraft status: probe engine + daemon (down receipt when unreachable)

  • containercraft ps [--running]: containers with name, image, state

  • containercraft logs --ctr NAME [--tail N]

  • containercraft exec --ctr NAME -- cmd...

  • containercraft images

  • containercraft run-echo [--image hello-world]: throwaway container, --network none, never pulls

  • containercraft compose-ps --dir DIR

  • containercraft mcp: FastMCP stdio server

Honesty rules

  • Daemon absent means status: down, exit 0. It is reported, never counted as a pass of real work.

  • run-echo skips (status: skipped) when the image is not already local.

Status — does today / next week / non-goals

Does today: Python FastMCP (cli.py + mcp_server.py), justfile, AGENTS; 6 test fns; day-1 scaffold fusing docker/podman/k8s container verbs.

Next week: probe daemons on Goliath (canonical backend for CI); 3 recipes (list, logs-tail, exec-echo); k8s scope in writing.

Non-goals: not a docker brand (name deliberate); daemon-absent CI = DOWN receipt, never red.

Lineage — the Storytold craft-app pattern

Storytold ArtCraft (storytold/artcraft — "the IDE for artists") was the starting point. The 16 craft apps in the Storytold stable each ship one binary that is both the human CLI and the agent MCP server (stdio), headless-first, with run.json + report artifacts. That modus operandi and harness is what this repo implements; the code here is independent, the pattern is shared.
