Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4254

What would you like to see?

The documentation states that the AnythingLLM container comes with the following commands to help with MCP:

  • npx
  • uv
  • node
  • bash

However, some very useful MCP servers only ship as containers themselves. It would be very helpful if something like podman-remote could be added to the container in order to make it more compatible.

@timothycarambat commented on GitHub (Sep 8, 2025):

We could docker-in-docker - which should be podman compatible. At a certain point thought pre-installing a lot of extras bloats the image and a custom image may be what is needed - which you can fork and modify from here to add all your custom commands or programs that must exist in-container.

What specific tools are you using?
