Dockhand FAQs

Question 1

What are the core prerequisites to start using Dockhand MCP?

Accepted Answer

To get started, you'll need Node.js LTS (v20 or later), a running Dockhand instance that's accessible from your machine, and either Claude Desktop or Claude CLI installed.

Question 2

What is Dockhand (dockhand-mcp)?

Accepted Answer

Dockhand (specifically dockhand-mcp) is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects Claude's natural language interface directly to your Dockhand Docker management instance, enabling you to control Docker resources conversationally.

Question 3

Which Claude clients are supported for integration?

Accepted Answer

Dockhand seamlessly integrates with both Claude Desktop and Claude CLI. This allows you to leverage the power of natural language Docker management from your preferred Claude environment.

Question 4

What Docker resources can I manage using natural language?

Accepted Answer

You can manage Docker containers (list, start, stop, logs, inspect, pause, remove), Docker Compose stacks (list, deploy, start, stop), and administer Docker networks, volumes, and images (list, inspect, create, remove, prune) all through simple conversational commands.

Question 5

Is authentication with Dockhand difficult to set up?

Accepted Answer

No, authentication is designed for simplicity. Dockhand MCP handles automatic session-based authentication with your Dockhand instance, logging in on first use and re-authenticating if a session expires, so you don't need manual session management.
