+description: "Docker's MCP Gateway provides secure, centralized, and scalable orchestration of AI tools through containerized MCP servers—empowering developers, operators, and security teams."
+keywords: MCP Gateway

+    group: Open source
+---
+
+The MCP Gateway is Docker's open-source enterprise-ready solution for orchestrating and
+managing [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://spec.modelcontextprotocol.io/) servers
+securely across development and production environments.
+It is designed to help organizations connect MCP servers from the [Docker MCP Catalog](https://hub.docker.com/mcp) to MCP Clients without compromising security, visibility, or control.
+
+By unifying multiple MCP servers into a single, secure endpoint, the MCP Gateway offers
+the following benefits:
+
+- Secure by default: MCP servers run in isolated Docker containers with restricted
+  privileges, network access, and resource usage.
+- Unified management: One gateway endpoint centralizes configuration, credentials,
+  and access control for all MCP servers.
+- Enterprise observability: Built-in monitoring, logging, and filtering tools ensure
+  full visibility and governance of AI tool activity.
+
+## Who is the MCP Gateway designed for?
+
+The MCP Gateway solves problems encountered by various groups:
+
+- Developers: Deploy MCP servers locally and in production using Docker Compose,
+  with built-in support for protocol handling, credential management, and security policies.
+- Security teams: Achieve enterprise-grade isolation and visibility into AI tool
+  behavior and access patterns.
+- Operators: Scale effortlessly from local development environments to production
+  infrastructure with consistent, low-touch operations.
+
+## Key features
+
+- Server management: List, inspect, and call MCP tools, resources and prompts from multiple servers
+- Container-based servers: Run MCP servers as Docker containers with proper isolation
+- Secrets management: Secure handling of API keys and credentials via Docker Desktop
+- Server catalog: Manage and configure multiple MCP catalogs
+- Dynamic discovery and reloading: Automatic tool, prompt, and resource discovery from running servers
+- Monitoring: Built-in logging and call tracing capabilities
+
+## Install the MCP Gateway
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- [Docker Engine](/manuals/engine/_index.md)
+- Go 1.24+ (for development)
+
+### Install using a pre-built binary
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> These instructions are mostly suitable for testing purposes.
+> We otherwise recommend building from the sources. See the [README](https://github.com/docker/mcp-gateway?tab=readme-ov-file#installation).
+
+You can download the latest binary from the [GitHub releases page](https://github.com/docker/mcp-gateway/releases/latest).
+
+Rename the relevant binary and copy it to the destination matching your OS:
+
+| OS      | Binary name         | Destination folder                  |
+|---------|---------------------|-------------------------------------|
+| Linux   | `docker-mcp`     | `$HOME/.docker/cli-plugins`         |
+| macOS   | `docker-mcp`     | `$HOME/.docker/cli-plugins`         |
+| Windows | `docker-mcp.exe` | `%USERPROFILE%\.docker\cli-plugins` |
+
+Or copy it into one of these folders for installing it system-wide:
+
+
+{{< tabs group="" >}}
+{{< tab name="On Unix environments">}}
+
+
+* `/usr/local/lib/docker/cli-plugins` OR `/usr/local/libexec/docker/cli-plugins`
+* `/usr/lib/docker/cli-plugins` OR `/usr/libexec/docker/cli-plugins`
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> You may have to make the binaries executable with `chmod +x`:
+
+> ```bash
+> $ chmod +x ~/.docker/cli-plugins/docker-mcp
+> ```
+
+{{< /tab >}}
+{{< tab name="On Windows">}}
+
+* `C:\ProgramData\Docker\cli-plugins`
+* `C:\Program Files\Docker\cli-plugins`
+
+{{< /tab >}}
+{{</tabs >}}
+
+You can now use the `mcp` command:
+
+```bash
+docker mcp --help
+```
+
+## Use the MCP Gateway
+
+To view all the commands and configuration options, go to the [mcp-gateway repository](https://github.com/docker/mcp-gateway).
