Compose for Agents Demos

Prerequisites

• Docker Desktop 4.43.0+ or Docker Engine installed.
• A laptop or workstation with a GPU (e.g., a MacBook) for running open models locally. If you don't have a GPU, you can alternatively use Docker Offload.
• If you're using Docker Engine on Linux or Docker Desktop on Windows, ensure that the Docker Model Runner requirements are met (specifically that GPU support is enabled) and the necessary drivers are installed.
• If you're using Docker Engine on Linux, ensure you have Docker Compose 2.38.1 or later installed.

Demos

Each of these demos is self-contained and can be run either locally or using a cloud context. They are all configured using two steps.

1. change directory to the root of the demo project
2. create a .mcp.env file from the mcp.env.example file (if it exists, otherwise the demo doesn't need any secrets) and supply the required MCP tokens
3. run docker compose up --build

Using OpenAI models

The demos support using OpenAI models instead of running models locally with Docker Model Runner. To use OpenAI:

1. Create a secret.openai-api-key file with your OpenAI API key:

   sk-...
   

2. Start the project with the OpenAI configuration:

   docker compose -f compose.yaml -f compose.openai.yaml up
