+#### Docker image
+
+A `Dockerfile` is available if you would like to build and run the server in a container. To build, run:
+
+```sh
+docker build -t mcp-server-elasticsearch .
+```
+
+And to run, rather than using the `npx` command above or a custom `node` or `npm` command, run:
+
+```sh
+docker run -i \
+  -e ES_URL=<url> \
+  -e ES_API_KEY=<key> \
+  mcp-server-elasticsearch
+```
