Is Docker well covered on Skillselion?
Docker has real range from container-ops basics to sandboxed-agent infrastructure to supply-chain auditing (Dockerfile/Compose security scanners), so the page won't read as ten variations on the same "run docker ps" wrapper. The one duplicate (Dave-London's repo under two names) should be collapsed before display.

Common questions
How are these Docker MCP servers ranked?
By GitHub stars across the 36 Docker MCP servers that name Docker in their own name or description - none of these report installs yet. Data from GitHub.
How do I add a Docker MCP server to Claude Code?
Open the server's listing from the table above and copy its install command or JSON config. In Claude Code, register it with `claude mcp add <name> -- <command>` (or paste the config into your MCP settings). The same servers work in Cursor, Codex and any MCP-compatible agent.
What counts as a Docker MCP server on this list?
A tool counts here if its own name or description names Docker directly - not merely an author handle or an unrelated mention - and it is registered as an MCP-type listing in the Skillselion catalog. That bar currently matches 36 servers.
Is Skillselion affiliated with Docker?
No. Skillselion is an independent directory, not affiliated with Docker. Rankings come from public GitHub adoption signals, not sponsorship or partnership.
