> If you encounter "Docker Desktop is not running" errors when the Docker daemon is active, you can bypass Desktop feature checks by setting:
73+
> ```bash
74+
> export DOCKER_MCP_IN_CONTAINER=1
75+
> ```
76+
> This is useful when running in WSL2, containerized environments, or Docker CE where Desktop backend sockets are unavailable.
