Deploying MCP Servers with Docker

Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server Engineering

Containerizing Your Server

To share your server, use Docker. This ensures the environment (Node version, dependencies) is the same everywhere.

Dockerfile Example

dockerfile FROM node:18-alpine WORKDIR /app COPY package*.json ./ RUN npm install COPY . . RUN npm run build ENTRYPOINT ["node", "build/index.js"]

Assignment: Create a Docker image for your server and run it locally.
