Docker MCP Toolkit

Canonical version: Docker MCP Toolkit.

The Docker MCP Toolkit is the Docker Desktop feature that removes the operational friction of running Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers locally. You configure an MCP server once and share it across multiple AI clients via named profiles (collections of servers), instead of repeating per-client config. Enabling it in Docker Desktop auto-starts the Docker MCP Gateway.

Key points

• Profiles group servers for reuse across clients
• Pulls servers from the Docker MCP Catalog
• Runs them through the Docker MCP Gateway
