Add single Dockerfile for containerized deployment of NetBox MCP server. Focused on mainline MCP use cases (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, MCP-aware clients). Docker Image Details: - Multi-stage Alpine-based build (140MB final size) - Non-root user (appuser:1000) for security - Build cache optimization via mount directives - EXPOSE 8000 directive for documentation - Follows Docker conventions (trailing newlines, .dockerignore) Configuration: - All settings via environment variables - Supports HTTP transport (required for Docker) - Full configuration system integration - Examples in README for common scenarios OpenWebUI Integration: - Documented approach using standalone mcpo wrapper - Keeps repo focused on core MCP implementation - Users can extend with protocol translators as needed Architectural Decision: - Dockerfile.mcpo intentionally not included - MCPO is a generic MCP→OpenAPI translator - Not NetBox-specific, better as separate tool - Documentation provided for users who need it Testing: - Image builds successfully (140MB) - EXPOSE 8000 verified - Non-root user confirmed - HTTP transport tested Based on excellent work in PR #26 by @mhajder - Adopted multi-stage Alpine build pattern - Security practices (non-root, minimal deps) - Build optimization techniques Co-authored-by: Mateusz Hajder <[email protected]> Co-authored-by: Anton Bubna-Litic <[email protected]>

This PR adds Docker file for normal usage in Claude Desktop or VS Code and Docker file with mcpo for usage with OpenWebUI.
Images have multi-stage build which allows to obtain an image with a small size.
Dockerfile -> 66.3MB
Dockerfile.mcpo -> 85.5MB
Requires #25 because the images themselves also need uv.lock for security.
I think mcpo with this MCP server is working correctly, I can't reproduce the problem as in #20.
