⚠️ IMPORTANT: This repository has been renamed and moved to MCP PlatformWhat changed:
- New Repository:
Data-Everything/MCP-Platform
- New Package:
pip install mcp-platform
(replacesmcp-templates
)- New CLI:
mcpp
command (replacesmcpt
)- Enhanced Features: Improved architecture and expanded capabilities
Migration is easy:
# Uninstall old package pip uninstall mcp-templates # Install new package pip install mcp-platform # Use new command (all your configs work the same!) mcpp deploy demo # instead of mcpt deploy demo
⚠️ This version is in maintenance mode. Please migrate to MCP Platform for latest features and updates.
Deploy Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in seconds, not hours.
Zero-configuration deployment of production-ready MCP servers with Docker containers, comprehensive CLI tools, and intelligent caching. Focus on AI integration, not infrastructure setup.
# Install MCP Templates
pip install mcp-templates
# List available templates
mcpt list
# Deploy instantly
mcpt deploy demo
# View deployment
mcpt logs demo
That's it! Your MCP server is running at http://localhost:8080
Traditional MCP Setup | With MCP Templates |
---|---|
❌ Complex configuration | ✅ One-command deployment |
❌ Docker expertise required | ✅ Zero configuration needed |
❌ Manual tool discovery | ✅ Automatic detection |
❌ Environment setup headaches | ✅ Pre-built containers |
Perfect for: AI developers, data scientists, DevOps teams building with MCP.
Deploy MCP servers instantly with pre-built templates—no Docker knowledge required.
Automatically finds and showcases every tool your server offers.
6-hour template caching with automatic invalidation for lightning-fast operations.
Comprehensive command-line interface for deployment, management, and tool execution.
Configure via JSON, YAML, environment variables, CLI options, or override parameters.
Ready-to-use templates for common use cases: filesystem, databases, APIs, and more.
