MCP Containerd

This is an MCP server implemented using the RMCP (Rust Model Context Protocol) library for operating Containerd's CRI interfaces.

Features

  • Implements an MCP server using the RMCP library
  • Supports all Containerd CRI interface operations
  • Provides Runtime Service interfaces
  • Provides Image Service interfaces

Prerequisites

  • Rust development environment
  • Containerd installed and running
  • Protobuf compilation tools

Building

Running

By default, the service will connect to the unix:///run/containerd/containerd.sock endpoint.

Using with simple-chat-client

The simple-chat-client allows you to interact with the MCP Containerd service: simple-chat-client has moved to simple-chat-client
Example interaction:

Service Structure

The MCP server includes the following main components:
  • version service: Provides CRI version information
  • runtime service: Provides container and Pod runtime operations
  • image service: Provides container image operations

CRI Interfaces

Runtime Service

  • Create/Stop/Delete Pod Sandbox
  • Create/Start/Stop/Delete containers
  • Query Pod/container status
  • Execute commands in containers

Image Service

  • List images
  • Get image status
  • Pull images
  • Delete images
  • Get image filesystem information

Configuration

Currently using default configuration. Future versions will support customizing connection parameters through configuration files.
