Feature Request: Display custom catalog servers in MCP Toolkit UI #283

@null-runner

Description

@null-runner

Description

Currently, the MCP Toolkit UI in Docker Desktop only displays servers from the official docker-mcp catalog. Servers from custom catalogs are invisible in the UI, even when properly enabled and functional.

Current Behavior

  • Custom catalog servers work via CLI (docker mcp server enable/list)
  • Custom catalog servers work with clients (Claude, Cursor, etc.)
  • Custom catalog servers are NOT visible in Docker Desktop MCP Toolkit UI
  • The "My Servers" section shows "something went wrong" or is empty

Requested Feature

  1. Display servers from ALL registered catalogs in MCP Toolkit UI
  2. Allow enabling/disabling custom servers from UI
  3. Show server details (tools, config) for custom servers
  4. Visually distinguish custom vs official servers (optional badge/icon)

Use Case

Organizations and developers create custom MCP servers for:

  • Internal tools and integrations
  • Specialized workflows
  • Development and testing

These should be manageable through the same UI as official servers, providing a consistent user experience.

Workaround

Currently using CLI only for custom server management, which works but lacks the discoverability and ease of use of the UI.
