[Feature Request] Add new category - IoT (Internet of Things) #149
Description
Hello,
Currently, the Docker Hub MCP Server supports the following categories: [ai, data-visualization, database, devops, ecommerce, finance, games, communication, monitoring, productivity, search].
I would like to propose the addition of a new category: IoT (Internet of Things).
We are in the process of publishing the ThingsBoard MCP Server - an intelligent integration designed to interact with the ThingsBoard (https://github.com/thingsboard/thingsboard) platform via natural language interfaces. ThingsBoard is a well-established open-source IoT platform with almost 20k stars on GitHub for device management, data collection, processing, visualization, and remote control.
Our MCP Server enhances ThingsBoard by enabling powerful analytics, anomaly detection, and automated reporting using LLMs. It allows users to query IoT data naturally, detect issues, and gain insights without writing complex code.
Why the "IoT" Category is Needed
-
Dedicated Scope: None of the existing categories fully capture the scope of IoT platforms. Categories like ai, monitoring, or productivity are too broad or unrelated to the core functionality of IoT solutions.
-
Growing Ecosystem: The IoT space is rapidly growing, and more developers and companies are deploying Dockerized solutions for IoT platforms, gateways, edge computing, and device management.
-
Improved Discoverability: A dedicated IoT category would help users easily find solutions relevant to connected devices, real-time telemetry, edge/cloud integrations, and machine-to-machine communication.
-
Future-Proofing Docker Hub: A well-defined IoT category will help organize and scale the MCP Server ecosystem as more projects like ThingsBoard will add it's own Docker MCP Servers.
We believe the IoT (Internet of Things) category would not only be the best fit for the ThingsBoard MCP Server but also serve the broader community of IoT developers and contributors using Docker in production environments.
Thank you for your consideration.
Best regards,
