Catalog and Toolkit are expected to solve challenges related to tool discovery, credential management, and security, with the Catalog serving as the home for discovering MCP tools and Toolkit simplifying the process of running and managing MCP servers securely, the executives explained.
The Catalog, according to Docker, is essentially a marketplace where authors or builders of these tools can publish them for developers to discover.
To get the marketplace running, Docker has partnered with several companies, including Stripe, Elastic, Heroku, Pulumi, Grafana Labs, Kong Inc., Neo4j, New Relic, and Continue.dev, the executives said. At launch, the marketplace would contain over 100 verified tools.
