Claude Desktop

Using npx

If you have npm installed, this is the fastest way to get started with podman-mcp-server on Claude Desktop.

Open your claude_desktop_config.json and add the mcp server to the list of mcpServers:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "podman": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "podman-mcp-server@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Goose CLI

Goose CLI is the easiest (and cheapest) way to get rolling with artificial intelligence (AI) agents.

Using npm

If you have npm installed, this is the fastest way to get started with podman-mcp-server.

Open your goose config.yaml and add the mcp server to the list of mcpServers:

extensions:
  podman:
    command: npx
    args:
      - -y
      - podman-mcp-server@latest
