docker-mcp

Base image for a small family of homelab MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers — wraps the mcp-server-docker Python package with supergateway so a stdio MCP server can be reached over HTTP.

Several other images in this account build FROM local/docker-mcp:latest (or its published form of this image) and layer their own MCP server on top: github-mcp, filesystem-mcp, tailscale-mcp, mcp-proxy. Build this one first if you're rebuilding the family from scratch.

Build

docker build -t docker-mcp:latest .

Run

Actual command/args are supplied at docker run time via a small stdio-to-HTTP bridge script (not part of this image — it's bind-mounted at runtime) that keeps one child MCP process alive for the container's lifetime rather than spawning one per request. See the sibling repos for each server's specific run command.
