Docker Engine Cf MCP Server — Hosted Devops Integration

mcp-docker-engine-cf — Docker Engine MCP (Cloudflare Worker)

Manage containers, images, volumes, and networks across dev/stg/prod environments — from any Aerostack agent via Cloudflare Tunnel.

A Cloudflare Worker MCP that calls docker-relay servers running on your infrastructure behind Cloudflare Tunnel. No Docker ports need to be exposed publicly — all traffic flows through signed HTTPS requests over the tunnel.

Live endpoint: https://mcp.aerostack.dev/s/aerostack/mcp-docker-engine-cf

What You Can Do

• List and inspect containers with real-time CPU/memory stats
• Tail logs from any container with time and line filters
• Start, stop, restart, and remove containers
• Exec commands inside running containers for diagnostics
• Manage Docker images: list, pull, remove
• Inspect networks and volumes
• View Docker system info and disk usage
• Manage Docker Compose services: list, logs, restart

DOCKER_STG_URL	No	Relay HTTPS URL for staging environment
DOCKER_PROD_URL	No	Relay HTTPS URL for production environment

At least one of DOCKER_DEV_URL, DOCKER_STG_URL, or DOCKER_PROD_URL must be set.
