# Docker MCP Toolkit Run, manage, and invoke Docker Desktop’s **MCP Toolkit** using the `docker mcp` CLI. ## Install + preflight (Docker Desktop) 1) Install/upgrade Docker Desktop (MCP Toolkit is in Docker Desktop 4.62+ per docs). 2) Enable MCP Toolkit: - Docker Desktop → **Settings** → **Beta features** → **Enable Docker MCP Toolkit** → **Apply**. 3) Preflight: ```bash ./scripts/preflight.sh ``` ## Quick start List enabled servers/tools: ```bash ./scripts/servers.sh ./scripts/tools.sh ``` ## Core operations - List/enable/disable servers: - `./scripts/servers.sh` - `./scripts/server-enable.sh <server-name>` - `./scripts/server-disable.sh <server-name>` - List tools: - `./scripts/tools.sh` - Invoke a tool (via Docker’s gateway/tool runner): ```bash ./scripts/call-tool.sh --tool "mcp-find" --json '{"query":"postgres","limit":5}' ``` Notes: - `call-tool.sh` requires `jq`. - `docker mcp tools call` uses `key=value` tokens. - Non-string values use `:=` (example: `limit:=5`, `activate:=true`). - This skill currently supports only **primitive** JSON values (string/number/bool/null). Nested objects/arrays are rejected. - For tools requiring object arguments (e.g. `mcp-config-set`), call `docker mcp tools inspect <tool> --format json` then run `docker mcp tools call ...` directly until this skill adds a tested encoder. ## How invocation works (important) Docker MCP Toolkit runs an MCP Gateway and exposes tools through it. This skill intentionally uses the **`docker mcp tools …`** commands so OpenClaw can invoke tools without needing native MCP client support. If you need a true MCP client connection (stdio/SSE), pair this skill with the `mcporter` skill. ## Secrets and safety - Prefer Docker Desktop’s secrets/keychain integration when possible. - Do not expose gateway ports publicly. - Use least-privilege credentials (separate Neon role with only required grants). For hardening guidance, read: `references/security.md`. ## Troubleshooting - If commands say “Docker Desktop is not running”: start Docker Desktop. - If MCP Toolkit isn’t visible: confirm it’s enabled in **Beta features**. - If a tool call fails: run `docker mcp tools --verbose inspect <tool>` and check Docker Desktop MCP Toolkit UI for server configuration.
