Mcp Docker Release Information
Let your coding agent pull Docker Desktop release notes and security advisories so you can decide when to upgrade local or CI Docker without leaving the chat.
Overview
Docker Release Information MCP is an Operate-phase MCP server that exposes Docker Desktop release notes and security information to your agent over stdio.
What is this MCP server?
- Surfaces Docker Desktop release notes on demand via MCP tools
- Exposes security-related release information for upgrade decisions
- stdio transport; OCI image docker.io/dockersamples/mcp-docker-release-information:0.3.0
- No API keys required in server.json—local/registry install only
- Version 0.3.0 in official MCP server schema
- Server version 0.3.0 per MCP server schema
- Single OCI package with stdio transport
- Repository: github.com/dockersamples/mcp-docker-release-information
What problem does it solve?
You hear about Docker Desktop updates or security fixes but waste time digging through scattered release pages while your agent could not cite what actually changed.
Who is it for?
Indie devs and operators who standardize on Docker Desktop and want release and security context inside agent-driven infra chats.
Skip if: Teams that only use Linux engine without Desktop, need live cluster telemetry, or want automated vulnerability scanning of running workloads.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you register the server, your agent can summarize Desktop releases and security notes so upgrade and rollback choices stay evidence-based in one thread.
- Agent-grounded summaries of Docker Desktop release notes
- Security-oriented release context for upgrade decisions

Journey fit
Keeping Docker Desktop aligned with security patches is an ongoing production-adjacent hygiene task after you ship containerized apps. Infra is the canonical shelf for runtime and toolchain update intelligence tied to Docker as your container platform.
How it compares
Read-only release intel MCP integration, not a container security scanner or deploy orchestrator.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Docker Release Information MCP for?
Solo builders and small teams using Docker Desktop who want agents to reference official release and security notes during upgrades.
When should I use Docker Release Information MCP?
Use it during Operate and infra planning when evaluating a Desktop upgrade, documenting toolchain changes, or validating security bulletins.
How do I add Docker Release Information MCP to my agent?
Add the stdio MCP entry pointing at the OCI package docker.io/dockersamples/mcp-docker-release-information:0.3.0 in your client’s MCP config and restart the session.
