Podman Mcp Server

Gives Claude direct access to Podman and Docker container runtimes through both the Podman REST API and CLI fallback. You get the standard container lifecycle operations: run, stop, remove, inspect, and tail logs. Image management is included too, with build, pull, and list capabilities. Useful when you want Claude to spin up test environments, debug running containers, or automate deployment workflows without leaving the conversation. The server auto-detects whether to use the native API socket or shell out to the CLI binary, and supports both stdio and HTTP transports. Available as an npm package or standalone binary, with one-click installation for Claude Desktop, VS Code, and Goose CLI.
