LeanMCP SDK doesn’t lock you into any specific platform. You can deploy your MCPs anywhere you want — LeanMCP Platform, Vercel, AWS, GCP, Azure, or your own infrastructure. That said, different platforms have different trade-offs. This guide helps you choose the right one.

Recommended: LeanMCP Platform

If you’re building MCPs, LeanMCP Platform is the easiest choice. It’s built specifically for MCPs — monitoring, observability, and auth are built-in. No DevOps required. Deploy in three commands: 
leanmcp login
leanmcp create-project
leanmcp deploy

​
Other Platforms

The LeanMCP SDK works on any Node.js hosting platform. If you need to deploy on Vercel, AWS, or other cloud providers, we have guides for each:
