🛠️ Configuration Examples

Basic Configuration

mcpp deploy filesystem --config allowed_dirs="/home/user/data"

Advanced Configuration

mcpp deploy gitlab \
  --config gitlab_token="$GITLAB_TOKEN" \
  --config read_only_mode=true \
  --override metadata__version=1.2.0 \
  --transport stdio

Configuration File

{
  "allowed_dirs": "/home/user/projects",
  "log_level": "DEBUG",
  "security": {
    "read_only": false,
    "max_file_size": "100MB"
  }
}

mcpp deploy filesystem --config-file myconfig.json

🔧 Template Development

Creating Templates

1. Use the generator:

   mcpp create my-template
   

2. Define template.json:

   {
     "name": "My Template",
     "description": "Custom MCP server",
     "docker_image": "my-org/my-mcp-server",
     "transport": {
       "default": "stdio",
       "supported": ["stdio", "http"]
     },
     "config_schema": {
       "type": "object",
       "properties": {
         "api_key": {
           "type": "string",
           "env_mapping": "API_KEY",
           "sensitive": true
         }
       }
     }
   }
   

3. Test and deploy:

   mcpp deploy my-template --backend mock

� Migration to MCP Platform

This repository has evolved into MCP Platform with enhanced features and better architecture.

Why We Moved

1. Better Naming: "MCP Platform" better reflects the comprehensive nature of the project
2. Enhanced Architecture: Improved codebase structure and performance
3. Expanded Features: More deployment options, better tooling, enhanced templates
4. Future Growth: Better positioned for upcoming MCP ecosystem developments

What Stays the Same

• ✅ All your existing configurations work unchanged
• ✅ Same Docker images and templates
• ✅ Same deployment workflows
• ✅ Full backward compatibility during transition

Migration Steps

1. Install new package:

   pip uninstall mcp-templates
   pip install mcp-platform
   

2. Update commands:

   # Old command
   mcpp deploy demo
   
   # New command (everything else identical)
   mcpp deploy demo
   

3. Update documentation bookmarks:
