Docker Agent CLI plugin lets developers define, run, and orchestrate AI agents using shareable YAML configs

Docker Agent is a Docker CLI plugin for building and running AI agents from declarative YAML files. It supports multi-agent workflows, MCP-based tools, multiple AI providers, built-in reasoning and memory tools, and retrieval-augmented generation.

The project reflects a broader shift toward treating AI agents as portable, version-controlled infrastructure rather than bespoke application code. By tying agent configuration to Docker workflows, it could make agent orchestration more reproducible and accessible to developer teams already using container-based tooling.
