Feature request: publish Docker image

[dreamorosi]

Use case

Currently the MCP Server requires Node.js to run locally, a big chunk of our customers might not have it installed because they're Python, .NET, or Java developers.

To ease adoption, we should consider publishing a Docker image based on Node.js that customers can pull and run. This would abstract away the Node.js requirement.

Solution/User Experience

Other MCP Servers like GitHub's official one, which is written in Go, offer a Docker image.

When using the image, the command to run the MCP becomes something like this:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "powertools": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
          "-i",
          "--rm",
        "ghcr.io/aws-powertools/powertools-mcp-search-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

You might not need to maintain Docker images at all.

run-mcp handles containerization for any MCP server — users only need to change one word in their config. Works directly with UVX/NPX packages.
