The Docker Hub MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that interfaces with Docker Hub APIs to make them accessible to LLMs, enabling intelligent content discovery and repository management.

Developers building with containers, especially in AI and LLM-powered workflows, often face inadequate context across the vast landscape of Docker Hub images. As a result, LLMs struggle to recommend the right images, and developers lose time manually searching instead of building.

• AI-powered image recommendations - LLMs access real-time Docker Hub data for accurate container image suggestions.
• Enhanced content discovery - AI tools help developers find the right images faster.
• Simplified Hub workflows - Manage Docker repositories and images using natural language.

• Docker installed
• Node.js (version 22+)
• [Optional] A Docker Personal Access Token (PAT) with appropriate permissions

1. Build

    npm install
    npm run build

1. Run

     npm start -- [--transport=http|stdio] [--port=3000]

• Default args:
• transport: Choose between http or stdio (default: stdio)
• port=3000

This starts the server with default settings and can only access public Docker Hub content.

The MCP Inspector provides a web interface to test your server:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector node dist/index.js [--transport=http|stdio] [--port=3000]
