Overview

What is @container-inc/mcp?

@container-inc/mcp is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables deploying projects to Container Inc. directly from an AI editor such as Cursor. It handles creating a GitHub repository (if needed), publishing a Docker image to ghcr.io, and pulling the code into Container Inc.'s builder. Deployments are currently ephemeral and free.

How to use @container-inc/mcp?

Add the server configuration to your editor's mcp.json file (e.g., .cursor/mcp.json), enable it in the editor settings, ensure your project has a Dockerfile, then simply ask your AI assistant to deploy to Container Inc. You will be prompted to log in with GitHub.

Frequently asked questions

Why am I asked to log in with GitHub?

GitHub login is required so that the server can (1) create a repository if one doesn't exist, (2) publish the Docker image to ghcr.io, and (3) pull the code into Container Inc.'s builder.

Does my project need a Dockerfile?

Yes. Your project must include a `Dockerfile` so that the server can build and deploy it.

Are deployments permanent?

No. For now all deployments are ephemeral and free. The platform is planning updates to support more permanent deployments in the future.

What transport does the server use?

The README does not specify a transport type. It is configured as a standard MCP server invoked via `npx`.

How do I configure the server in my editor?

Add the JSON configuration shown in the README to your editor's MCP settings file (e.g., `.cursor/mcp.json`) and ensure the MCP server feature is enabled.
