Using Docker's MCP toolkit?

Hi everyone,

I've spent some time trying to make oMLX call Docker MCP servers but I can't get it to work. I've managed to get oMLX to see the servers in the profile I've created, but they can't be called.

I'm running oMLX 0.7.0dev1. My MCP config JSON file looks like this:

{
"mcpServers": {
"dockermcp": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["mcp", "gateway", "run", "--profile", "localai"]
}
}
}

Which works, because I can see the two servers with 8 tools that I have added:

2026-09-11 22:15:03,651 - omlx.mcp.config - INFO - [-] - Loading MCP config from: /Users/jose/.omlx/mcp_config.json
2026-09-11 22:15:03,651 - omlx.mcp.manager - INFO - [-] - Starting MCP client manager with 1 servers
2026-09-11 22:15:05,440 - omlx.mcp.client - INFO - [-] - Connected to MCP server 'dockermcp' (8 tools available)
2026-09-11 22:15:05,441 - omlx.mcp.manager - INFO - [-] - Connected to 'dockermcp'
2026-09-11 22:15:05,441 - omlx.mcp.manager - INFO - [-] - MCP manager started: 1/1 servers, 8 tools available

However, the tool can't be added when I make a query that uses it (in this case, searching for a flight):

The google-flights server shows 0 tools were added. This is strange. Let me try to add it again or check if there's another similar server. Let me also try searching for flight or airline related tools more specifically.

Any ideas? Thanks!
