Add Docker and Kubernetes deployment for MCP HTTP mock server

[Copilot]

Provides containerized deployment options for the MCP HTTP mock server to support external HTTPS MCP deployments.

Docker Images

Three Dockerfiles for different base environments:

• Dockerfile.ubuntu - Ubuntu 24.04 (recommended)
• Dockerfile.fedora - Fedora latest
• Dockerfile.rhel - RHEL UBI 9 (enterprise)

All run as non-root user with health checks and minimal layers.

Kubernetes Helm Chart

Production-ready chart in helm/mcp-server/ with:

• Deployment with configurable replicas (1-N)
• Service types: ClusterIP, NodePort, LoadBalancer
• Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (3-10 pods)
• Ingress with TLS support
• Security contexts (non-root, dropped capabilities)
• ConfigMap/Secret integration
• Network policies and pod disruption budgets

Example deployment:

# Development
helm install mcp-dev ./helm/mcp-server -f values-dev.yaml --namespace mcp-dev

# Production with HA
helm install mcp-prod ./helm/mcp-server \
  --set replicaCount=3 \
  --set autoscaling.enabled=true \
  --set service.type=LoadBalancer \
  --namespace mcp-prod

Documentation

• DOCKER_K8S_DEPLOYMENT.md - Comprehensive deployment guide with multiple scenarios
• QUICKSTART.md - Quick reference commands
• BUILD_NOTES.md - Validation results and environment notes
• Updated main README with deployment options

Helm chart validated: helm lint passes with 0 errors.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• astral.sh
  • Triggering command: curl -LsSf REDACTED (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
