docker-agent: Build, run, and share AI agents with declarative YAML configuration, tools, and multi-agent orchestration.

What problem it solves

Creating intelligent AI agents that can collaborate on complex tasks can require code and substantial integration work. Docker Agent addresses this by letting users define agents in YAML, assign tools, and run them through the Docker CLI.

Key features

  • Multi-agent orchestration — Create teams of specialized agents that delegate tasks automatically.

    Source: README

  • Extensible tool ecosystem — Use built-in tools and connect to MCP servers that run locally, remotely, or in Docker.

    Source: README

  • Multiple model providers — Configure agents with models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, AWS Bedrock, Mistral, xAI, Docker Model Runner, and other supported providers.

    Source: README

  • Declarative YAML configuration — Describe an agent's model, instructions, and toolsets in YAML so the configuration can be versioned and shared.

    Source: README

  • Packaging and sharing — Push agent configurations to an OCI registry, then pull and run them elsewhere.

Quick start

Copied verbatim from the project's README.

agents:
  root:
    model: openai/gpt-5-mini
    description: A helpful AI assistant
    instruction: |
      You are a knowledgeable assistant that helps users with various tasks.
      Be helpful, accurate, and concise in your responses.
    toolsets:
      - type: mcp
        ref: docker:duckduckgo
docker agent run agent.yaml

Who it may suit

Inference: This project may suit developers and teams who want to configure, run, package, or share AI agents through YAML and the Docker CLI.

Topics to discuss

  • Which YAML configuration patterns are most useful for multi-agent workflows?

  • How should local, remote, and Docker-based MCP servers be integrated into agent toolsets?

  • What practices make packaged agents easier to version, share, and run reliably?
