## Why kMCP?

Prototyping MCP services in isolation is quick and fun, but production adoption introduces many challenges:

- **Ad-hoc scaffolding** - Configuring the MCP server, integrating it in Kubernetes, and operating it at enterprise scale
- **Transport fragmentation** – Supporting multiple protocols (HTTP, WebSocket, SSE, etc.) requires custom maintenance
- **Disconnected context** - Enforcing consistent security, observability, and governance for agent-to-tool communication

**_We believe teams who have build MCP services should not experience friction when bringing those services to production. kMCP is designed to make MCP connectivity simple._**

## Getting Started

Install the kmcp CLI on your local machine.

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kagent-dev/kmcp/refs/heads/main/scripts/get-kmcp.sh | bash
```

Verify that the kmcp CLI is installed.

```bash
kmcp --help
```

## From Prototype to Production

MCP connectivity affects everyone in an organization. Below are some common quickstart journeys that you may experience:

- [AI/ML Engineer packaging an existing prototype](https://kagent.dev/docs/kmcp/deploy/server#option-1-deploy-an-mcp-server-with-npx-or-uvx)
- [DevOps engineer building MCP infrastructure in Kubernetes](https://kagent.dev/docs/kmcp/deploy/server#option-2-build-and-deploy-an-mcp-server)

## Technical Details

`kmcp` is a comprehensive toolkit for building, deploying, and managing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. For a more detailed breakdown of using kmcp in your workflow, check out our [achitecture overview](/devel/architecture/workflow.md).

### Core Components

- **[CLI](/pkg/cli/README.md)** is your primary tool for development. It allows you to scaffold new MCP projects, manage tools, build container images, and run your MCP server locally for testing and development.
- **Controller**: Manages the lifecycle of your MCP server deployments in your Kubernetes cluster. It uses a Custom Resource Definition (CRD) to define MCP servers as native Kubernetes objects, allowing you to manage them with familiar `kubectl` commands.
- **Transport Adapater** - Fronts the MCP server and provides features such as external traffic routing for your MCP server with support for multiple transport protocols without requiring any changes to your code.

### Core Principles

- ✨ **Rapid scaffolding** with support for FastMCP (Python) and MCP Go SDK
- 🚀 **One-command deployment** to Kubernetes with pre-configured Transport Adapters
- 🔄 **Consistent workflow** from local development to production
- 🌐 **Built-in transport support** for HTTP, WebSocket, and Server-Sent Events
- ☸️ **Kubernetes-native** using Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs)
- 🔐 **Secrets management** integrated with Kubernetes secrets
