# Deployment Overview

> Deploy your MCP servers to production

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.

## Deployment Options

| Platform             | Best For                                   | Limitations            |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------- |
| **LeanMCP Platform** | Production MCPs, monitoring, observability | None for MCPs          |
| **Vercel**           | Simple MCPs, agent frontends               | Timeout limits (5-30s) |
| **AWS/GCP/Azure**    | Enterprise, existing cloud infrastructure  | DevOps overhead        |

## 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:

```bash theme={null}
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:
