## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 97/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to pipeworx-io/mcp-dockerhub).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 4 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 78/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).

Search Docker Hub for container images by keyword. Returns repository name, description, pull count, star count, and official status. Use when finding images for deployment.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Number of results to return (default 10, max 100)
- `query` (string, required): Search query (e.g., "nginx", "postgres")

### `get_image` (~90 tokens)

Get detailed metadata for a Docker Hub repository: description, pull count, stars, last updated date, and official status. Use before pulling an image to verify quality and currency.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): Repository name (e.g., "nginx", "redis")
- `namespace` (string, required): Repository namespace — use "library" for official images (e.g., "library", "bitnami")

- `name` (string, required): Repository name
- `namespace` (string, required): Repository namespace (use "library" for official images)

### `get_tag_details` (~171 tokens)

PREFER for "does <image>:<tag> have an arm64 build", "what platforms does <image>:<tag> support", "the digest/size of <image>:<tag>", multi-arch verification.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): Repository name (e.g. "nginx", "redis").
- `namespace` (string, required): Repository namespace (use "library" for official images, e.g. "library", "bitnami").

## Common questions

### What is the Dockerhub MCP server?

Dockerhub is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.pipeworx-io/dockerhub. Docker Hub MCP, wraps the Docker Hub v2 API (free, no auth required for public data). This page covers its npm package (@pipeworx/mcp-dockerhub).

### Is the Dockerhub MCP server safe to use?

Dockerhub scores 85 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Dockerhub MCP server expose?

Dockerhub exposes 4 tools: search_images, get_image, get_tags, get_tag_details. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 428 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Dockerhub MCP server still maintained?

Dockerhub is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Dockerhub MCP server under?

Dockerhub declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
