# Local servers from Docker's catalog: Best MCP Marketplace

**Answer in brief:** Docker packages local servers as images, so each one runs in its own container.


## What the catalog is

The MCP Catalog from Docker gathers verified MCP servers in one curated list, each shipped as a Docker image on Docker Hub.[1]

## How you install

Local servers in the catalog are built and signed by Docker, and you install them through profiles in Docker Desktop's MCP Toolkit.[1]

## When to use it

Containers suit servers that run on your machine. For a hosted server, connect the maker's own address.

- [Installing into Claude or ChatGPT](/installing-into-a-client/): Reviewed directories install with a sign-in. Registry listings give you the address or the package to add yourself.
- [Servers for GitHub Copilot and Codex](/servers-for-copilot-and-codex/): Developers can find servers inside the tools they already use. Each place reviews its listings its own way.
- [Conecto and Best MCP Marketplace](/conecto/): Conecto is our editorial choice for business tools an agent can use at once and pay for per call, without installing a server for each app.
