docker-mcp dockerode-compose.instructions.md

Instructions for using dockerode-compose, a Node.js library that controls Docker Compose projects through Docker’s API.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to pull container images, start Compose projects, inspect deployment state, and work with the library’s supported Compose operations.
Why use it?
It provides installation, setup, and method details for managing Compose projects programmatically rather than typing Docker commands manually.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

docker-mcp dockerode-compose.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

dockerode-compose

docker-compose in Node.js using dockerode.

Everything is executed programmatically using dockerode, consequently Docker's API.

ToDo:

  • Finish compose spec
  • User friendly functions (partial deploys, etc) needs to be implemented.

Installation

npm install dockerode-compose

Getting started

To use dockerode-compose first you need to instantiate it:

var Dockerode = require('dockerode');
var DockerodeCompose = require('dockerode-compose');

var docker = new Dockerode();
var compose = new DockerodeCompose(docker, './test/wordpress.yml', 'wordpress');

(async () => {
  await compose.pull();
  var state = await compose.up();
  console.log(state);
})();

Documentation

  • new DockerodeCompose(dockerode, file, project_name)
  • compose.up()
  • compose.pull(service, options) - omit service to pull all images, options.streams return the streams without waiting, options.verbose pipe the streams to stdout.

Tests

  • Tests are implemented using mocha and chai. Run them with npm test.

Examples

Check the examples folder for more specific use cases examples.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
