Get up and running with building agentic applications using Compose, Docker Model Runner, and the Docker MCP Gateway. This hands-on lab takes you from understanding AI models to building complete agentic applications.
What you'll learn
This lab covers three core areas of agentic application development:
Models: What models are, how to interact with them, configuring Docker Model Runner in Compose, and writing code that connects to the Model Runner
Tools: Understanding tools and how they work, how MCP (Model Context Protocol) fits in, configuring the Docker MCP Gateway, and connecting to the MCP Gateway in code
Code: What agentic frameworks are, defining models and tools in a Compose file, and configuring your app to use those models and tools
Modules

| 7 | Conclusion | Summary and next steps |
Prerequisites
- Install the latest version of Docker Desktop
- Enable Docker Model Runner by going into Settings in Docker Desktop, choosing AI, then selecting Docker Model Runner
- Pull the Gemma 3 model before launching by running this command:
$ docker model pull ai/gemma3
Launch the lab
Start the labspace:
$ docker compose -f oci://dockersamples/labspace-agentic-apps-with-docker up -d
Then open your browser to http://localhost:3030.
Note
It may take a little while to start due to the AI model download.
