Deployment Guide¶

Advanced deployment options for MCP server templates.

Local Deployment¶

Run templates locally for development:

# Quick local deployment
mcp-template deploy demo --local

# With custom configuration
mcp-template deploy demo --local --env DEBUG=true

Docker Deployment¶

Deploy using Docker containers:

# Deploy with Docker
mcp-template deploy demo --docker

# Specify custom Docker options
mcp-template deploy demo --docker --port 8080:8080 --env PRODUCTION=true

Production Deployment¶

Using Docker Compose¶

Create a docker-compose.yml:

version: '3.8'
services:
  mcp-demo:
    image: dataeverything/mcp-demo:latest
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    environment:
      - DEMO_MESSAGE=Production Hello
      - LOG_LEVEL=info
    restart: unless-stopped

Using Kubernetes¶

Example Kubernetes deployment:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: mcp-demo
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: mcp-demo
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: mcp-demo
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: mcp-demo
        image: dataeverything/mcp-demo:latest
        ports:
        - containerPort: 8080
        env:
        - name: DEMO_MESSAGE
          value: "Kubernetes Hello"
