list_containers

MCP tool from Log Essence by petebytes

List running Docker containers.

How to use it

Project documentation lists list_containers for the Log Essence MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
