AI Tools for Developers
An MCP server & prompt runner for all of Docker. Simple Markdown. BYO LLM.

- Integration with Docker for seamless workflow execution. - Support for multiple LLMs and tools. - Ability to write and run workflows in Markdown. - Project context extraction for tailored assistance.
- Automating software development tasks with AI assistance.
- Creating and managing complex workflows in a collaborative environment.
- Enhancing productivity by integrating AI tools into existing projects.

.cursor/mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"labs-ai-tools-for-devs-docker": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-labs-ai-tools-for-devs-docker"
]
}
}
}Claude Desktop
Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)
