What it does
Docker's MCP server for Docker Hub. It runs locally from a Node.js build, over stdio by default or over HTTP bound to loopback, where a bearer token is required unless explicitly switched off. Without credentials it reads public Hub content; with a Docker Hub username and personal access token it can also work in the user's own namespace. An agent can search images and the catalog, look up repository and tag details, create and list repositories, and help with pulling and pushing images. Docker documents it in its Hub manuals and offers it through the MCP Toolkit in Docker Desktop.
Capabilities
- Search Docker Hub images by description
- Get repository and tag details
