Sema4.ai Announces Docker MCP Gateway Integration

We’re excited to announce a significant milestone in our MCP journey: the integration of Docker’s MCP Gateway into Sema4.ai Enterprise AI Agent platform. This collaboration marks a crucial step in our mission to make enterprise AI agents more S.A.F.E. – Secure, Accurate, Fast, and Extensible.

Agents that Fit Seamlessly into Your Enterprise

Agents, like their human counterparts, need to perform work existing enterprise systems and data sources — without drama, friction, or endless IT upgrade cycles. Our philosophy is simple: We work with what you already have. With MCP this means out-of-the-box connectivity that works in a consistent fashion.

But true integration isn’t just about making things connect. It’s about ensuring that every connection meets enterprise standards for security, scalability, and governance. That’s exactly where Docker’s MCP Gateway comes in, and why we’re excited to integrate with it.

With this partnership, our agents get:

  • Instant access to hundreds of curated MCP servers with one-click deployment
  • Enterprise-grade security through Docker’s proven container infrastructure
  • Seamless integration that respects your existing architecture

Docker is thrilled to welcome Sema4.ai to our MCP Gateway ecosystem. This partnership exemplifies our commitment to enterprise-grade AI infrastructure, enabling organizations to deploy and manage AI securely and at scale. The combination of Docker’s container expertise with Sema4.ai’s enterprise AI agent platform creates a powerful solution for companies looking to quickly build and deploy production-grade agents. says N.M. Docker’s Y.

We are excited to integrate with Docker’s MCP Gateway, simplifying access to secure MCP Servers built on Docker containers. This integration streamlines the user experience and strengthens our platform’s security posture. We’re also looking forward to deepening our collaboration with Docker to empower Sema4.ai customers to seamlessly publish and consume private MCP Servers across the Docker ecosystem.

Lets get down to business with the specifics 

  1. Connect Sema4 Studio to the Docker MCP Gateway


    If you have Docker Desktop installed, the Docker MCP Gateway is ready to go in Sema4.ai Studio. Agent developers get immediate access to a full library of curated MCP servers—Box, Stripe, Perplexity, Playwright, Shopify, and many others—with no configuration needed.

    This seamless integration combines the ubiquity and power of Docker’s development environment with the natural language Runbooks, enterprise-grade security, and robust tooling offered by Sema4.ai Studio. As a result, teams can begin building sophisticated AI agents within minutes, streamlining workflows and accelerating time-to-value.

  2. Remote MCP Server integration

    Enterprise developers can now directly connect to remote MCP servers from within Sema4.ai Studio. This is particularly powerful for organizations that have built custom MCP servers to interface with their proprietary systems, enabling seamless integration while maintaining security protocols.


  3. Sema4.ai Agents as MCP servers

    We’re taking integration a step further by exposing our agents as MCP servers in addition to our already powerful Agent API, creating a truly interconnected ecosystem. This enables unprecedented levels of interoperability while maintaining the enterprise-grade security our customers expect.

Getting started

For enterprises ready to leverage these new capabilities, the Docker MCP Gateway integration is available now in Sema4.ai Studio. Documentation is available here. Our team is ready to help you implement these features within your security and architectural requirements.

Conclusion

The integration of Docker’s MCP Gateway into Sema4.ai Studio represents more than just a technical advancement—it’s a commitment to making enterprise AI agents S.A.F.E. –  Secure, Accurate, Fast, and Extensible. As we continue to expand our role in the MCP ecosystem, we remain focused on meeting the complex security and architectural needs of our enterprise customers.

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to enhance our platform and soon roll out our next-generation Actions framework for MCP server development.
