## Description

This Docker MCP server by SmythOS provides Linux sandbox container management through Docker integration, enabling AI assistants to spawn Ubuntu containers and execute commands in isolated environments. Built with TypeScript using the SmythOS SDK and Dockerode library, it offers five core tools including container spawning, TTY input with escape sequence support, screen buffer reading, and container lifecycle management with real-time status updates. The implementation features comprehensive escape sequence parsing for terminal interactions, configurable wait times for command execution, and proper container cleanup, making it valuable for code execution, system administration tasks, development environment testing, and any workflow requiring secure command execution in disposable Linux environments.
