About devcontainer-mcp

devcontainer-mcp is an MCP server published by the GitHub account aniongithub. Manage dev container environments via MCP (Docker, DevPod, Codespaces).

It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the MCP bundle package devcontainer-mcp-linux-x64.tar.gz, with no version pinned.

It asks for no keys or passwords.

Version 0.40 was published on 8 September 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.

Written from the registry entry. 7 automated checks on registry metadata: 3 pass, 1 warn, 0 fail, 3 info. How we check.

What it asks for

This server declares no environment variables, so it asks for no keys or settings.
