Description

This PR adds the Devcontainer MCP Server developed by AIQL to the community servers list in the README.

Server Details

The Devcontainer MCP Server enables dynamic generation and configuration of development containers directly from devcontainer.json files.

Motivation and Context

The mcp-devcontainers project simplifies development container management by:

  • Generating and configuring containers directly from devcontainer configurations.

  • Capturing relevant stdout/stderr logs from the sandbox and returning them as structured tool-call responses to the MCP client.

Use Cases:

  • Local Management: Control devcontainers in a Docker environment via STDIO.

  • Remote Management: Control remote devcontainers via StreamableHTTP or SSE.

How Has This Been Tested?

Validated through automated CI builds using GitHub Actions.

Breaking Changes

None. Integrate seamlessly using the standard MCP client configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-devcontainers": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-devcontainers"]
    }
  }
}

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
