Oriel

Overview

Oriel is a Model Context Protocol server that provides safety-gated AI control of Docker and Colima, letting language models manage containers, images, volumes, networks, and Compose configurations on your behalf. It exposes container management as tools your AI assistant can invoke directly, streamlining development workflows.

The server runs locally via the Docker image ghcr.io/paradoxinfinite/oriel:0.7.0, communicating over stdio with no authentication required. Version 0.7.0 is available now under the Apache-2.0 license, with full source code at ParadoxInfinite/oriel on GitHub.

Oriel is listed in the Cloud Service category and works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and other MCP clients. If you maintain Oriel for ParadoxInfinite, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information current.
