If your organization already uses AWS, GCP, or Azure, you can deploy MCPs on your existing infrastructure. The LeanMCP SDK works on any Node.js runtime. However, deploying on cloud providers requires significant DevOps expertise. You need to configure logging, monitoring, scaling, networking, and security yourself.

The Reality of Cloud Deployment

Deploying MCPs properly on AWS, GCP, or Azure is not trivial. To get it right, you need:
  • Logging and observability — CloudWatch, Cloud Logging, or Azure Monitor
  • Scaling configuration — auto-scaling policies, load balancers
  • Networking — VPCs, security groups, IAM roles
  • Access controls — who can deploy, who can access logs
  • CI/CD pipelines — automated builds and deployments
  • Health checks and alerting — know when things break
Even experienced teams typically need 6-7 DevOps engineers and 500-600 hours to set up production-ready infrastructure. That’s months of work before you even start building MCP features.
If you must deploy on cloud providers, use managed container services. They handle scaling and infrastructure, reducing (but not eliminating) the DevOps burden.

AWS: Fargate with ECS

AWS Fargate runs containers without managing servers. Combine it with ECS for orchestration.

Step 1: Create Dockerfile

Step 2: Build and Push to ECR

Step 3: Create ECS Service


GCP: Cloud Run

Cloud Run is GCP’s fully managed container platform. It’s simpler than Fargate for basic deployments.

Step 1: Build with Cloud Build

Step 2: Deploy to Cloud Run

Cloud Run supports up to 60 minutes timeout on paid plans, much better than Lambda/Vercel.

Azure: Container Apps

Azure Container Apps is Microsoft’s serverless container platform.

Step 1: Create Container Registry

Step 2: Build and Push

Step 3: Deploy Container App


Adding Monitoring

Cloud providers require you to configure monitoring yourself:

AWS CloudWatch

GCP Cloud Monitoring

Recommendation

If you’re already deep in AWS/GCP/Azure and have DevOps resources, these guides help you get started. But for most teams, LeanMCP Platform is faster and cheaper than building infrastructure from scratch.
