Official Docker MCP server for container management. Enables AI agents to list, start, stop, and inspect Docker containers, manage images, view logs, and execute commands inside running containers. Supports Docker Compose operations for multi-container applications and provides container health monitoring capabilities.
GitHub's official MCP Server that connects AI tools directly to GitHub's platform. Enables AI agents to manage repositories, issues, pull requests, branches, files, actions workflows, and code security. Supports both remote (OAuth) and local (Docker/binary) modes with fine-grained toolset configuration.
Official Elastic MCP server that connects AI agents to Elasticsearch data using the Model Context Protocol. Enables natural language interactions with Elasticsearch indices — querying, analyzing, and retrieving data without custom APIs. Supports both stdio and streamable-HTTP transports, and works with Elasticsearch 8.x/9.x clusters including Elasticsearch Serverless. Distributed as a Docker container image from the Elastic registry.
Skills vs MCP servers
what's the difference?Skillsthe “what to do”
A skillA reusable, structured prompt/workflow with recommended models, an example prompt, and compatible tools. packages know-how — instructions, an example promptA ready-to-use prompt template that demonstrates how to invoke the skill., and recommended models — so an agent performs a task consistently. Skills add knowledge, not new connections.
MCP serversthe “how to connect”
An MCP serverModel Context Protocol server — a standard way to expose tools, resources, and prompts to AI agents and IDEs. gives an agent new capabilities by connecting it to real systems (databases, APIs, files) over a transportHow the client talks to the server: stdio (local process), SSE, or HTTP streaming.. MCP adds connections and actions, not task instructions.
Rule of thumb: reach for a skill when you need the model to do a task well, and an MCP server when you need it to reach a tool or system. They compose — a skill can rely on tools an MCP server provides.
