Documentation for Docker Desktop MCP Gateway #4370
Description
What is the type of issue?
Documentation is missing
What is the issue?
Docker Desktop does a poor job of explaining how to setup the command for Windows users so here are two examples of how to get Docker MCP Gateway to work in plain Windows 11 machines and also WSL Distro Ubuntu running on a Windows 11 machine.
Windows 11 Docker Desktop (Codex running in CMD or Powershell)
[mcp_servers.docker-mcp-gateway]
args = ["mcp", "gateway", "run"]
command = "docker.exe"
startup_timeout_ms = 10000
Windows 11 Docker Desktop (Codex running in WSL Distro such as Ubuntu)
[mcp_servers.docker-gateway]
command = "/mnt/c/Program Files/Docker/Docker/resources/bin/docker.exe"
args = ["mcp", "gateway", "run"]
Until my PR or the actual fix is implemented users also have to do the following workaround located here #4180 (comment)
Where did you find it?
Experimentation and time.
