# mcp-devcontainers
2+
3+
The MCP Devcontainers is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides a simple integration with the [devcontainers cli](https://github.com/devcontainers/cli).
4+
5+
## Dependencies
6+
7+
This server requires **Docker** to be installed and running on your system, as it is used by the [devcontainers cli](https://github.com/devcontainers/cli) to build and manage development containers.
8+
9+
- [Docker installation guide](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
10+
11+
No other dependencies are required to use the MCP Devcontainers server.
12+
13+
## Usage
14+
15+
MCP servers are configured differently depending on the client that you are using. For reference, this is how you would configure it using Claude Desktop.
16+
17+
```json
18+
{
19+
"mcpServers": {
20+
"devcontainers": {
21+
"command": "npx",
22+
"args": [
23+
"-y",
24+
"@crunchloop/mcp-devcontainers"
25+
]
26+
}
27+
}
28+
}
29+
```
30+
31+
