Best Of 2025: Docker, Inc. Embraces MCP To Make AI Agent Integration Simpler
Cloud Native Now, December 11,2025
Docker, Inc., today added support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to make it simpler for developers to invoke artificial intelligence (AI) agents using the existing tools they rely on to build container applications.
Nikhil Kaul, vice president of product marketing for Docker, Inc., said the Docker MCP Catalog and Docker MCP Toolkit are the latest AI extensions to the company's portfolio of application development tools. Earlier this month, Docker made it possible for developers to run large language models (LLMs) on their local machines using a Docker Model Runner extension to Docker Desktop as part of an effort to make it simpler for them to interactively build applications.
