Hub MCP Overview

The docker/hub-mcp MCP server exposes Docker Hub search and repository-management operations through MCP tools. It runs as a Node.js application over stdio by default, or over HTTP with configurable binding and request authentication. Public Docker Hub content is available without credentials; a Docker Hub PAT and username enable repository management. Reach for it when an agent needs to discover images, inspect namespaces and repositories, or create and update Docker Hub repositories.
