MCP Server Starter (FluxCD + Istio)

This bundle contains:

• container/ — a minimal Node-based MCP server (Dockerfile + TypeScript app)
• apps/mcp-server/ — Kubernetes manifests (Namespace, ConfigMap for prompts, Deployment, Service, HTTPRoute)
• clusters/prod/mcp-server-kustomization.yaml — Flux Kustomization pointing to ./apps/mcp-server
• settings.local.example.json — VS Code settings snippet for testing allow-listing your MCP server

Build & Push

cd container
docker build -t <ACR>/mcp/mcp-server:0.1.0 .
az acr login -n <ACR_NAME>
docker push <ACR>/mcp/mcp-server:0.1.0

Then update apps/mcp-server/deployment.yaml image to your ACR path.

GitOps

Commit apps/mcp-server/* and clusters/prod/mcp-server-kustomization.yaml to your Flux repo. Flux will reconcile and expose the server at the hostname configured in httproute.yaml.

VS Code (pilot)

Use settings.local.example.json as a starting point; in enterprise use managed policies to enforce the same keys.
