MCP Server Runner

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Run an MCP server inside an existing Docker Compose service for local development or testing.

• 2

  Execute a Node-based MCP entry point (build/index.js) within a container without rebuilding images.

• 3

  Integrate MCP server startup into Docker Compose–based CI/CD or deployment workflows.

Description

This repository provides a minimal example mcp.json that demonstrates running an MCP server via a docker compose exec command. It shows how to invoke a Node-based MCP entry point (build/index.js) inside an existing compose service, which is useful for local development or running MCP in containerized environments. The example makes it easy to integrate an MCP server into existing Docker Compose workflows and CI/CD pipelines without rebuilding images.
