About

Drive Docker and Colima from an AI. A safety-gated MCP server for containers, images, volumes, networks, and Compose, with secret masking and a destructive-action grant.

Categories: Other, Infrastructure

- Manages containers, images, volumes, networks, and Compose.
- Controls Colima VM (start/stop/restart) and engine status.
- Works with Colima, Docker Engine, OrbStack, Podman, or remote daemon.
- Masks secrets; environment values never exposed raw to a model.
- Destructive actions require a time-boxed grant; reads always work.
- Binary does not include an AI model—client brings the model.

From the repository

Install via brew install ParadoxInfinite/oriel/oriel (macOS/Linux, ~13 MB Go binary). Add the configuration { "mcpServers": { "oriel": { "command": "oriel", "args": ["mcp"] } } } to your MCP client. For destructive actions, first run oriel ai allow-destructive --for 6h to grant a time-boxed permission; read operations require no grant.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.

Oriel is a fast, local Docker GUI that's also an MCP server. Point any MCP client (Claude, Cursor, a local LLM) at it and manage Docker and Colima in plain English, through the same validated, secret-masked
tools the GUI uses.

### What it does
- Containers, images, volumes, networks, and Compose
- Colima VM control (start / stop / restart) and engine status
- Works with any Docker engine: Colima, Docker Engine, OrbStack, Podman, or a remote daemon

### Safety
- Secrets stay masked. Env values are never handed raw to a model.
- Destructive actions are locked behind a time-boxed grant (oriel ai allow-destructive --for 6h); reads always work.
- No model in the binary. Your client brings the model.

### Install
brew install ParadoxInfinite/oriel/oriel, then add to your MCP client:

``json { "mcpServers": { "oriel": { "command": "oriel", "args": ["mcp"] } } }``

One ~13 MB Go binary, macOS and Linux, Apache-2.0. Repo: https://github.com/ParadoxInfinite/oriel
