Deploy your MCP server to Manufact Cloud, the recommended deployment platform for mcp-use servers. With a single command, you can deploy your server and get a production-ready URL.

Prerequisites

Manufact Cloud account: Sign up at mcp-use.com or log in via CLI:
mcp-use login
For non-interactive flows (web onboarding, agents), use a pre-approved device code:
mcp-use login --device-code <CODE>
See the CLI reference for --api-key and --org options.

Quick Deployment

Deploy your MCP server in one command:
# Install the CLI (if you are using create-mcp-use-app this step is not needed)
npm install -g @mcp-use/cli

# Login to Manufact Cloud
mcp-use login

# Deploy your server
mcp-use deploy
That’s it! Your server will be built and deployed automatically.

Deploy Without GitHub

You do not need a GitHub repository to deploy. Use --no-github to upload your local project source directly — the platform creates a managed repo and runs the normal build pipeline:
mcp-use deploy --no-github
This path:
  • ✅ Works without a git remote or GitHub App installation
  • ✅ Uploads your local files (not GitHub)
  • ✅ Creates the server in the platform-managed org
  • ✅ Supports redeploys — linked projects auto-detect the upload path, so --no-github is only needed on the first deploy
You can later connect your own GitHub repository from the server dashboard (“Connect your GitHub”) if you want push-to-deploy.
Web onboarding uses mcp-use login --device-code followed by mcp-use deploy --no-github -y for a fully non-interactive first deploy.

GitHub Repository Deployment

If your project is a GitHub repository, mcp-use deploy (without --no-github) automatically detects it and offers to deploy from GitHub:
mcp-use deploy
You’ll see:
GitHub repository detected:
  Repository: your-org/your-repo
  Branch:     main
  Commit:     abc1234

Deploy from GitHub repository your-org/your-repo? (y/n):
This approach:
  • ✅ Deploys directly from your GitHub repository
  • ✅ Automatically detects build and start commands
  • ✅ Uses the latest commit from your branch
  • ✅ Requires the mcp-use GitHub App on the repo and changes pushed to GitHub

After Deployment

Once deployment completes, you’ll receive:

Deployment URLs

✓ Deployment successful!

🌐 MCP Server URL:
   https://your-deployment/id.deploy.mcp-use.com/mcp

🔍 Inspector URL:
   https://inspector.mcp-use.com/inspect?autoConnect=https://your-deployment/id.deploy.mcp-use.com/mcp
The autoConnect parameter and other Inspector URL options are documented in Inspector URL parameters.

Claude Desktop Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "my-server": {
      "url": "https://your-deployment/id.deploy.mcp-use.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Test Locally First

Before deploying, test your server locally:
# Build and test locally
mcp-use build
mcp-use start
