README

Arcane MCP Server

Manage your entire Docker infrastructure through natural language.
180 tools. One MCP server. Zero context switching.

Getting Started • What Can It Do • Companion Skill • All Tools • Interactive Installer

Note: This is an independent, community-built project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by the Arcane project or its maintainers. We build on top of Arcane's public API.

Coming from Portainer? Check out Portainer-Offload-Arcane — a guided migration wizard that moves your stacks, containers, volumes, registries, and users from Portainer CE/EE into Arcane. Run it once, then come back here to manage everything via natural language.

What is this?

Arcane MCP Server is a complete AI-powered Docker management bundle — an MCP server, a Claude Code plugin, and a companion skill, all in one package.

The MCP server gives your AI assistant 180 tools to control your Arcane Docker platform — containers, images, stacks, Swarm clusters, security scans, and more.
The plugin wraps everything into a single install with guided configuration — no manual env vars or config files.
The companion skill teaches your AI how to use those tools — safe deployment workflows, troubleshooting patterns, and guardrails so it doesn't accidentally nuke your volumes.

Instead of clicking through dashboards and running CLI commands, you just talk to your infrastructure:

"What's running on production?"

"Deploy this compose file to staging."

"Are any images vulnerable? Show me the critical ones."

"Scale the API service to 5 replicas."

Behind the scenes, the server translates your requests into the right API calls — with safety checks, retry logic, and formatted responses that actually make sense.

Why use it?

	Without	With Arcane MCP Server
Check container status	Open dashboard, navigate to environment, filter, scroll	"What's broken?"
Deploy a stack	Write compose, scp to server, ssh, docker compose up	"Deploy this compose file"
Find vulnerabilities	Configure Trivy, run scan, parse JSON output	"Run a security audit"
Update containers	Check each image, pull, recreate, verify	"Update everything" (dry-run first, obviously)
Clean up disk space	Prune images, volumes, networks one by one	"Clean up unused resources"

Every tool carries safety annotations so your AI knows which operations are read-only and which ones need confirmation before running. No accidental docker system prune moments.
