# Deploy USCardForum MCP Server to Cloud Run <walkthrough-author name="USCardForum" analyticsId="UA-000000-0"></walkthrough-author> ## Introduction This tutorial will guide you through deploying the USCardForum MCP Server to Google Cloud Run. **Time to complete**: About 5 minutes Click **Start** to begin. ## Set up your project First, select or create a Google Cloud project. <walkthrough-project-setup></walkthrough-project-setup> Set the project ID: ```bash gcloud config set project {{project-id}} ``` ## Enable required APIs Enable Cloud Run and Cloud Build APIs: ```bash gcloud services enable run.googleapis.com cloudbuild.googleapis.com ``` ## Deploy to Cloud Run Deploy the MCP server using Cloud Run's source-based deployment: ```bash gcloud run deploy uscardforum-mcp \ --source . \ --region us-west1 \ --platform managed \ --allow-unauthenticated \ --port 8000 \ --memory 512Mi \ --set-env-vars "MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http,MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0,MCP_PORT=8000" ``` This will: 1. Build the Docker image using Cloud Build 2. Push it to Container Registry 3. Deploy it to Cloud Run ## Configure secrets (Optional) To enable MCP authentication, create a secret and attach it: ```bash # Create secret for MCP auth token echo -n "your-secret-token" | gcloud secrets create nitan-token --data-file=- # Grant Cloud Run access to the secret gcloud secrets add-iam-policy-binding nitan-token \ --member="serviceAccount:{{project-number}}-compute@developer.gserviceaccount.com" \ --role="roles/secretmanager.secretAccessor" # Update the service with the secret gcloud run services update uscardforum-mcp \ --set-secrets="NITAN_TOKEN=nitan-token:latest" \ --region us-west1 ``` ## Get your service URL Get the URL of your deployed service: ```bash gcloud run services describe uscardforum-mcp --region us-west1 --format='value(status.url)' ``` Your MCP endpoint will be at: `<service-url>/mcp` ## Connect from Cursor Add to your `~/.cursor/mcp.json`: ```json { "mcpServers": { "uscardforum": { "url": "<your-service-url>/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer your-secret-token" } } } } ``` ## Congratulations! <walkthrough-conclusion-trophy></walkthrough-conclusion-trophy> You've successfully deployed the USCardForum MCP Server to Cloud Run! ### Next steps - [View your Cloud Run services](https://console.cloud.google.com/run) - [Set up continuous deployment](https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/continuous-deployment-with-cloud-build) - [Configure custom domains](https://cloud.google.com/run/docs/mapping-custom-domains)
