MCP servers are powerful - but managing runtimes, secrets, and N×N client wiring quickly becomes a bottleneck. This edition of the Docker AI Labs Newsletter covers how to move from simple tool setups to full multi-agent systems without glue code; using Docker’s MCP Catalog and Toolkit, the open-source MCP Gateway, and cagent. This is a relevant read whether you’re just getting started with MCP or scaling it in real production use:

New with Docker MCP Catalog and Toolkit Discover tools with mcp-find, load them on demand with mcp-add, compose tools using JavaScript, and run everything with secure sandboxing and agent-driven OAuth. Learn more → https://lnkd.in/gtDs3Sg9 

To get the most out of Docker Hardened Images, it helps to understand exactly what’s inside them and how they’re built. This is part two in a three-part series focused on exactly that. This post shows how to independently verify DHI by checking signatures, build provenance, compliance evidence, and SBOMs. Read more:

Secure foundations shouldn’t come at the cost of speed. The goal is fewer surprises, less toil, and a foundation teams don’t have to think about every day. We love getting to see this in practice, as Anaconda, Inc. CEO David DeSanto explains how free Docker Hardened Images help teams move faster while managing risk:

Your RAG pipeline works… until it returns data the user was never authorized to see. This post shows how to enforce permissions before data reaches the model by safely filtering RAG results and testing the entire flow end-to-end with Testcontainers. This walkthrough uses SpiceDB - the same permissions system OpenAI relies on to secure 37B documents for 5M users in ChatGPT Connectors:
