docker/mcp-gateway is a docker-mcp CLI plugin that runs multiple MCP servers isolated in their own Docker containers and integrates them into a single tool entry point that AI clients connect to. MCP is the channel through which AI clients attach to a server's tools and resources, and this plugin drives the Docker MCP Toolkit, so it can be used from Docker Desktop or run on its own.
The role of this repository is to gather the growing number of connection points that appear when several servers are attached into one. Container isolation gives each server a separate execution environment, and consolidating the connection points into one means clients no longer have to re-align their server lists. The README lists server and profile/catalog management, secret and OAuth handling, tool/prompt/resource search, and logging and call tracing as its features. It is written in Go, the license is MIT, the repository was created on April 22, 2025, and it has 1,609 GitHub stars.
That said, the compiled information contains neither release history nor performance measurements. Among the evaluation items, the only one with a recorded number is the momentum score of 1.8 on a 10-point scale, which is low; the novelty, tech, and quality items are blank. The structure of container isolation and a single entry point can be confirmed from the README's feature description, but there is no supporting evidence for how stable or fast it is in any given environment. It fits setups that need multiple MCP servers managed in one place, but judging it with performance and stability in mind requires additional material.
