Deploy Toolbox

Learn how to deploy the MCP Toolbox server to production environments.

Once you have tested your MCP Toolbox configuration locally, you can deploy the server to a highly available, production-ready environment.

Choose your preferred deployment platform below to get started:

  • Docker: Run the official Toolbox container image on any Docker-compatible host.
  • Google Cloud Run: Deploy a fully managed, scalable, and secure cloud run instance.
  • Kubernetes: Deploy the Toolbox as a microservice using GKE.

Tip

Production Security: When moving to production, never hardcode passwords or API keys directly into your tools.yaml. Always use environment variable substitution and inject those values securely through your deployment platform’s secret manager.
