🎯 Overview

This PR implements complete Docker Windows support for the Terminator MCP Agent, addressing issue #228. The solution enables running Terminator in a Windows Docker container with HTTP transport, eliminating the need for RDP/VNC access.

✅ Requirements Met

• ✅ Docker Windows Support: Complete containerized setup
• ✅ MCP Server + Client: HTTP transport with proper MCP protocol
• ✅ Terminal Operation: No RDP/VNC required - pure HTTP/MCP communication
• ✅ External Access: CORS-enabled for web-based MCP clients

📁 Files Added/Modified

Core Docker Configuration

• docker/Dockerfile.windows - Updated with Node.js, HTTP transport, and proper container setup
• docker/docker-compose.windows.yml - Production Docker Compose configuration
• docker/Dockerfile.windows.dev - Development build with Rust toolchain
• docker/docker-compose.windows.dev.yml - Development Docker Compose

Documentation

• DOCKER-WINDOWS.md - Comprehensive setup and usage guide
• docker/README-Windows.md - Docker-specific documentation

Testing & Validation

• docker/test-docker-setup.ps1 - PowerShell validation script
• docker/validate-setup.py - Cross-platform Python validation
• docker/demo-script.ps1 - Video recording demo script

Example Clients

• examples/docker_mcp_client.py - Full-featured Python MCP client with AI
• examples/docker_mcp_simple.py - Simple Python MCP client (no dependencies)

🔧 Technical Implementation

Container Features

• Base: Windows Server Core LTSC 2022
• Runtime: Node.js 20.18.1 LTS
• Transport: HTTP with CORS enabled
• Binding: 0.0.0.0:8080 for external access
• Health Check: Built-in monitoring at /health
• MCP Endpoint: /mcp for client connections

Key Innovations

1. HTTP Transport: First Docker implementation using HTTP instead of stdio
2. No GUI Required: Pure terminal/HTTP operation as requested
3. Cross-Platform Clients: Python examples work anywhere
4. Comprehensive Testing: Multiple validation approaches
5. Production Ready: Resource limits, health checks, proper logging

🚀 Usage

Quick Start

# Switch to Windows containers
& "C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\DockerCli.exe" -SwitchDaemon

# Build and run
cd docker
docker-compose -f docker-compose.windows.yml up --build

# Test
python docker/validate-setup.py
python examples/docker_mcp_simple.py --demo

Connection

• MCP Endpoint: http://localhost:8080/mcp
• Health Check: http://localhost:8080/health

🧪 Testing

The implementation includes comprehensive testing:

• PowerShell script for Windows-specific validation
• Python script for cross-platform testing
• Example clients demonstrating functionality
• Demo script for video recording

📹 Video Demo Ready

The docker/demo-script.ps1 provides a complete demonstration showing:

1. Docker Windows container setup
2. HTTP accessibility (no RDP/VNC)
3. MCP client connectivity
4. Full workflow validation

🔒 Security & Production

• Containerized isolation
• CORS configuration
• Health monitoring
• Resource limits
• Comprehensive error handling

🎬 Demo Video

A demo video can be recorded using the provided docker/demo-script.ps1 script, which demonstrates the complete workflow meeting all issue requirements.
