## Usage

> [!NOTE]
> **Running without Docker Desktop Feature Flags**
>
> If you encounter "Docker Desktop is not running" errors when the Docker daemon is active, you can bypass Desktop feature checks by setting:
> ```bash
> export DOCKER_MCP_IN_CONTAINER=1
> ```
> This is useful when running in WSL2, containerized environments, or Docker CE where Desktop backend sockets are unavailable.
