## The Hook

Docker MCP Gateway is Docker's `docker mcp` CLI plugin and gateway: it runs MCP servers in isolated containers behind one endpoint, with secrets handling and tool filtering.

## What's Good

MIT (docker/mcp-gateway), commit on 2026-09-16. ★~1.6k (~20 a week). Useful when you run several MCP servers and want each one sandboxed in a container, with one endpoint for your client.

## The Catch

There are no GitHub releases; it ships through Docker Desktop's MCP Toolkit, so versioning follows Docker Desktop rather than tags you can pin here.

## Verdict

Container isolation for your MCP servers, from Docker itself.
