# Portainer MCP

Official MCP server for Portainer, generated from the Portainer OpenAPI spec via [FastMCP](https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp).

This MCP server exposes the Portainer REST API as MCP tools: list and inspect environments, manage GitOps workflows, troubleshoot Docker and Kubernetes resources. It also supports proxying requests to the underlying Docker and K8s APIs of each environment.

Match the MCP server's minor version to your Portainer instance's minor — e.g. MCP server 2.45.x with Portainer 2.45.x. See [Version compatibility](#version-compatibility) for details.
