SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Adding a new MCP server to a Docker-based AI agent environment involves searching catalogs, configuring credentials, working around tooling bugs, and verifying tool availability — a multi-step process that is easy to get wrong. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Guided MCP Discovery: Search the Docker MCP catalog, inspect server details, and select the right integration through an interactive elicitation workflow. - Credential Configuration Workaround: Handles the known Docker MCP Toolkit secrets bug by editing the catalog YAML directly to hardcode environment variables. - Verification & Documentation: Verifies tools load correctly, updates MCP usage documentation, and reminds users to restart their session so new tools become available. - Use Case: You want to give your AI agent access to Notion. Use this Skill to search the catalog, enable mcp/notion, configure the NOTION_API_KEY, and confirm the new tools appear after a session restart. ## Quick Start Add the Notion MCP server from the Docker MCP catalog and configure its API key.

Frequently Asked Questions about add-mcp

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add an MCP server with Docker MCP Toolkit?▼

Search the catalog with docker mcp catalog search, inspect details with docker mcp catalog info, then enable it using docker mcp server enable. Verify the tools load with docker mcp tools ls before using them.

How do I configure credentials for a Docker MCP server?▼

Due to a known bug, docker mcp secret set does not pass credentials to containers. Edit ~/.docker/mcp/catalogs/docker-mcp.yaml directly and add the credential as a hardcoded env value in the server's env section.

Why are new MCP tools not showing up after adding a server?▼

The docker-gateway caches tools at startup, so newly added MCP tools only appear after restarting your Claude Code session. Close the current session and start a new one, then verify with docker mcp tools ls.

What MCP servers are available in the Docker catalog?▼

Common servers include notion, postgres, sqlite, slack, puppeteer, redis, s3, and stripe. Search with docker mcp catalog search or browse the registry at github.com/modelcontextprotocol/registry.

Is it safe to hardcode API keys in the Docker MCP catalog file?▼

Hardcoding credentials in ~/.docker/mcp/catalogs/docker-mcp.yaml exposes them in a local file. Ensure the directory is never committed to a repository and restrict file permissions to the current user only.
