Get Started with Docker

Set up with Docker

1. Create a config directory with mkdir config. We will use it in order to easily mount config to MCPX.

2. Place the following config under config/mcp.json. It uses a single MCP server that requires no credentials, for quick start set up.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "time": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-server-time", "--local-timezone=America/New_York"]
    }
  }
}

5. On the top-level directory again, run MCPX with this configuration, exposing ports 9000 and 9001:

docker run --rm --name mcpx -v ./config:/config -p 9000:9000 -p 9001:9001 us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/prj-common-442813/mcpx/mcpx:b179627

Congratulations!

You have now set up your MCPX. You should see the following lines to indicte a successful installation:
