Integrates Docker Desktop's MCP Toolkit with Claude Code, enabling access to containerized MCP servers managed by Docker Desktop.
Note: This plugin is designed specifically for Docker Desktop's bundled MCP Toolkit. It is not intended for the standalone open-source MCP Gateway. A separate plugin for the OSS version may be provided in the future.
Features:
Prerequisites:
docker mcp commandAdd this marketplace to Claude Code using one of the following methods:
If your git works with SSH:
/plugin marketplace add docker/claude-plugins
If your git doesn't work with SSH (or prefer HTTPS):
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/docker/claude-plugins.git
Once the marketplace is added, you can browse available plugins and install the Docker MCP Toolkit plugin:
# Browse all plugins in the docker marketplace
/plugin
# Install the docker-mcp-toolkit plugin
/plugin install docker-mcp-toolkit@docker
If the MCP Gateway server isn't working as expected, the plugin provides two diagnostic slash commands to help identify and resolve issues:
/docker-mcp-toolkit:gateway-status - Quick health check showing enabled servers and available tools/docker-mcp-toolkit:gateway-debug - Comprehensive diagnostics to troubleshoot installation and configuration problemsThese commands will automatically check your Docker MCP Gateway setup and provide actionable recommendations if problems are found.
Once installed, the Docker MCP Gateway will be available as an MCP server in Claude Code. You can verify by:
/docker-mcp-toolkit:gateway-status to see enabled servers and tool countTo test changes locally:
/plugin marketplace update docker
