What is the Docker Hub MCP Server?
Connect your Docker Hub account to any AI agent and manage your container images through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Repository Management — List, create, update and delete Docker image repositories
- Tag Discovery — Browse available image tags with versions, sizes and architecture info
- Account Info — View your user profile, organizations and repository statistics
- Image Search — Search for public Docker images by name or description
- Pull Stats — Monitor pull counts and repository popularity metrics
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Docker Hub Access Token
- Start managing your container images from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more navigating the Docker Hub website to check tags or manage repositories. Your AI acts as a dedicated container registry assistant.
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — quickly check available image tags, monitor pull stats and manage repository settings
- Developers — search for community images, discover correct tag versions and verify image metadata
- Platform Teams — audit repository access, track organization membership and manage image visibility

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Docker Hub into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Docker Hub and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
- —
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
- —
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
- —
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
- —
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Docker Hub access token?
Log in to hub.docker.com, go to Settings > Security, click New Access Token, give it a name and copy the token immediately — it starts with dckr_pat_ and won't be shown again.
Can I create private repositories?
Yes! Use create_repository with is_private set to "true". Note that free Docker Hub accounts have a limited number of private repositories. Check your account plan for private repo limits.
Can I search for public Docker images?
Yes! Use search_repositories with a query like "nginx", "python" or "node". Results include the namespace, name, star count, pull count and description for each matching image. This is useful for discovering community images before pulling them.
Can I see all tags for an image?
Yes! Use list_tags with the namespace and repository name. Returns all available tags with their image sizes, last pushed dates and digests. Useful for finding the correct version to pull.
What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?
Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.
Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?
Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.
Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?
No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.
How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?
Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
