In December of 2024, we published a blog with Anthropic about their totally new spec (back then) to run tools with AI agents: the Model Context Protocol, or MCP. Since then, we’ve seen an explosion in developer appetite to build, share, and run their tools with Agentic AI – all using MCP. We’ve seen new…

We’re excited to announce that Docker Desktop is now available on the Microsoft Store! This new distribution channel enhances both the installation and update experience for individual developers while significantly simplifying management for enterprise IT teams. This milestone reinforces our commitment to Windows, our most widely used platform among Docker Desktop users. By partnering with…

Model Context Protocols (MCPs) are quickly becoming the standard for connecting AI agents to external tools, but the developer experience hasn’t caught up. Discovery is fragmented, setup is clunky, and security is too often bolted on last. Fixing this experience isn’t a solo mission—it will take an industry-wide effort. A secure, scalable, and trusted MCP…

This year at Microsoft Build, Docker will blend developer experience, security, and AI innovation with our latest product announcements. Whether you attend in person at the Seattle Convention Center or tune in online, you’ll see how Docker is redefining the way teams build, secure, and scale modern applications. Docker’s Vision for Developers At Microsoft Build…

Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools remain primarily in the hands of early adopters, but broader adoption is accelerating. Alongside this growth, MCP security concerns are becoming more urgent. By increasing agent autonomy, MCP tools introduce new risks related to misalignment between agent behavior and user expectations and uncontrolled execution. These systems also present a novel…

From the start, Docker has focused on enabling developers to build, share, and run software efficiently and securely. Today, Docker Hub powers software delivery at a global scale, with over 14 million images and more than 11 billion pulls each month. That scale gives us a unique vantage point into how modern software is built…

We’re excited to announce that Settings Management for Docker Desktop is now Generally Available!  Settings Management can be configured in the Admin Console for customers with a Docker Business subscription.  After a successful Early Access period, this powerful administrative solution has been enhanced with new compliance reporting capabilities, completing our vision for centralized Docker Desktop…

Today, we’ll show you how to build a fully functional Generative AI chatbot using Docker Model Runner and powerful observability tools, including Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger. We’ll walk you through the common challenges developers face when building AI-powered applications, demonstrate how Docker Model Runner solves these pain points, and then guide you step-by-step through building…
