Show HN: Durable cloud hosting for MCP servers

7 hours ago (github.com)

Hey HN!

We built a cloud platform that lets you deploy MCP servers (agents, tools, ChatGPT apps) to production instantly. Think Vercel, but for agents using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

The problem: MCP servers are great locally, but running them in production is a pain. You need hosting, handle auth, manage secrets, deal with long-running processes, and connect everything securely.

With mcp-c, it's: uvx mcp-agent deploy

You get a production URL that works with Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client.

What makes this different: - Durable execution (agents can run for hours without timing via Temporal) - Built-in secrets management - Full MCP spec support (sampling, notifications, logging) - Free during beta

Try this hosted ChatGPT Pizza example:

Pizza ordering agent: https://pizzaz.demos.mcp-agent.com/sse

We're the team behind mcp-agent (8K GitHub stars), and this is our answer to "how do I actually ship this?"

Open beta, free to use. Would love your feedback on what would make this more useful.

How does the MCP server host and serve the web assets for a ChatGPT app? Do I have to host it separately or does it bundle with the server?

  • thanks for asking! The MCP server hosts the web assets by either serving them directly (like sending the built React files) or linking to an external web client that hosts them. Once loaded, ChatGPT renders that content inside the chat for users to interact with.
