🚀 This Project Has Moved!

⚠️ IMPORTANT: This repository has been renamed and moved to MCP Platform
What changed:
New Repository: Data-Everything/MCP-Platform
New Package: pip install mcp-platform (replaces mcp-templates)
New CLI: mcpp command (replaces mcpt)
Enhanced Features: Improved architecture and expanded capabilities
Migration is easy:
# Uninstall old package pip uninstall mcp-templates # Install new package pip install mcp-platform # Use new command (all your configs work the same!) mcpp deploy demo # instead of mcpt deploy demo

MCP Server Templates (Legacy)

⚠️ This version is in maintenance mode. Please migrate to MCP Platform for latest features and updates.

� Migrate to MCP Platform • 💬 Discord Community • � Legacy Docs

Deploy Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in seconds, not hours.

Zero-configuration deployment of production-ready MCP servers with Docker containers, comprehensive CLI tools, and intelligent caching. Focus on AI integration, not infrastructure setup.

🚀 Quick Start

# Install MCP Templates
pip install mcp-templates

# List available templates
mcpt list

# Deploy instantly
mcpt deploy demo

# View deployment
mcpt logs demo

That's it! Your MCP server is running at http://localhost:8080

⚡ Why MCP Templates?

Traditional MCP Setup	With MCP Templates
❌ Complex configuration	✅ One-command deployment
❌ Docker expertise required	✅ Zero configuration needed
❌ Manual tool discovery	✅ Automatic detection
❌ Environment setup headaches	✅ Pre-built containers

Perfect for: AI developers, data scientists, DevOps teams building with MCP.

🌟 Key Features

� Migration to MCP Platform

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

Why We Moved

Better Naming: "MCP Platform" better reflects the comprehensive nature of the project
Enhanced Architecture: Improved codebase structure and performance
Expanded Features: More deployment options, better tooling, enhanced templates
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

Install new package:
pip uninstall mcp-templates pip install mcp-platform
Update commands:
# Old command mcpt deploy demo # New command (everything else identical) mcpp deploy demo
Update documentation bookmarks:
- New docs: https://data-everything.github.io/MCP-Platform/
- New repository: https://github.com/Data-Everything/MCP-Platform

Support Timeline

Current (Legacy) Package: Security updates only through 2025
New Platform: Active development, new features, full support
