While not a very common use case.. you can indeed connect from your container to your host.
From https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/networking/
I want to connect from a container to a service on the host
The host has a changing IP address (or none if you have no network
access). From 18.03 onwards our recommendation is to connect to the
special DNS name host.docker.internal, which resolves to the internal
IP address used by the host. This is for development purpose and will
not work in a production environment outside of Docker Desktop for
Mac.
