The following steps and considerations need to be followed to deploy MCP Containers in Kubernetes:
Deployment Steps:
- Prepare the standard Kubernetes manifest file, specifying the container image address (e.g.
ghcr.io/metorial/metoro-mcp-server:latest) - Set the necessary environment variables (API_KEY, etc.) in the Deployment configuration
- Define the appropriate Service to expose the service port
- utilization
kubectl apply -f deployment.yamlCommand to commit to the cluster - pass (a bill or inspection etc)
kubectl get podsMonitoring of operational status
Caveats:
- voucher management: It is recommended to use Kubernetes Secrets to store sensitive information rather than writing it explicitly in the configuration
- resource quota: Setting reasonable CPU/memory limits based on server type
- high availability: Configure multiple replica and health checks for critical services
- network strategy: Configure NetworkPolicy on demand to control inbound outbound traffic
- Storage requirements: Some servers may require persistent storage, requiring pre-planning for PVCs
For scenarios that require horizontal scaling, HPA (Horizontal Pod Autoscaler) can be combined to realize automatic expansion and contraction. Enterprise-level deployment should also consider the integration of log collection, monitoring and alerting and other operation and maintenance support systems.
