# Is Docker Building the Best AI Stack?

**[Bret Fisher](https://daily.dev/sources/bretfisher)** · 67 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Docker is building out a comprehensive AI development stack that integrates multiple components: Docker Model Runner for running open/free models locally or remotely, a Hub model catalog, Gordon AI (a Docker-focused AI chatbot built into Docker Desktop and CLI), MCP Toolkit and MCP Gateway (recently open-sourced) for managing MCP servers in containerized and secure ways, Compose file support for defining models and MCP tools as top-level elements, and Docker Offload for bursting AI workloads to the cloud with GPU access. The MCP Gateway acts as a proxy that manages the lifecycle of MCP server containers, injects credentials, and provides security controls like network isolation per server. Together these pieces allow developers to define models, tools, and application code in a single Compose file, and run everything locally or offload to Docker Cloud with a single toggle.
