Deploy Toolbox

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.

{{< notice 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.

To enable HTTPS, you must provide a valid pair of --tls-cert and --tls-key files; specifying only one will cause the server to fail at startup. {{< /notice >}}
