How long does deployment take?

Usually under 60 seconds. MCPize automatically provisions infrastructure, configures HTTPS endpoints, and sets up health checks. Your server will be live and ready for connections almost instantly after running the deploy command.

Can I update my published server?

Yes, simply run `mcpize deploy` again to push updates instantly. MCPize handles zero-downtime deployments, so your users won't experience any interruption. Version history is maintained so you can roll back if needed.

What regions are supported?

MCPize uses a global CDN with edge locations worldwide. Your server is automatically distributed to provide low-latency access from anywhere. Users connect to the nearest edge location for optimal performance.

Can I unpublish my server?

Yes, run `mcpize unpublish` to remove your server from the marketplace. Existing subscribers will be notified, and you can choose to either sunset gracefully or immediately revoke access. Your server code and data remain yours.

Do I need to manage my own infrastructure?

No. MCPize handles all infrastructure management including hosting, scaling, SSL certificates, health monitoring, and DDoS protection. You focus on building your MCP server; we handle everything else.

How does pricing work for my server?

You set your own pricing tiers in mcpize.yaml or via the dashboard. MCPize supports free, monthly, and yearly plans. You keep 85% of revenue, with payments processed automatically via Stripe.

What happens during the review process?

When you first publish, MCPize performs automated security checks and a brief manual review to ensure quality standards. This typically takes 1-2 hours. Updates to existing servers are deployed instantly without review.

Can I publish a private server?

Yes. You can set visibility to 'private' to keep your server unlisted from the marketplace. Private servers are accessible via direct link only, perfect for internal tools or beta testing before public launch.

Publish Your MCP Server to MCPize Marketplace

From code to marketplace in one command. Deploy your MCP server to the cloud and reach thousands of AI developers worldwide with one-click publishing.

mcpize deploy && mcpize publish

Why Publish on MCPize?

MCPize is the premier marketplace for Model Context Protocol servers. Unlike deploying to Vercel, Cloudflare, or AWS where you only get hosting, MCPize gives you hosting plus marketplace plus monetization in one platform.

Instant Hosting

No server management required. Your MCP server is deployed to global cloud infrastructure with automatic scaling and 99.9% uptime.

Global Distribution

CDN-backed delivery with edge locations worldwide. Users connect to the nearest server for low-latency access from anywhere.

Marketplace Exposure

Reach thousands of AI developers actively looking for MCP servers. Get discovered through search, categories, and recommendations.

Built-in Payments

Start monetizing immediately with flexible pricing tiers. We handle billing, subscriptions, and payouts. You keep 85% of revenue.

Prerequisites for Publishing

Before you can publish your MCP server to the marketplace, make sure you have the following ready. If you haven't built your server yet, check out our build guide first.

Working MCP Server
A functional MCP server built with TypeScript, Python, or any language supporting the Model Context Protocol. Test locally before deploying.
MCPize Account
A free developer account on MCPize. Sign up takes less than a minute and requires only email verification.
MCPize CLI Installed
The command-line interface for deploying and managing your servers. Install with npm install -g @mcpize/cli
Stripe Account (for monetization)
Connect your Stripe account to receive payments. Only required if you plan to offer paid tiers. Free servers don't need this.

Prepare Your Server for Publication

Before publishing, ensure your MCP server meets the quality standards that help you succeed in the marketplace. Well-prepared servers get more installs and better reviews.

Test Thoroughly

Run your server locally and test all tools and resources. Ensure error handling is robust and responses are consistent. Use the MCP Inspector for validation.

Write Documentation

Create a clear README with usage examples, API documentation, and configuration options. Good docs dramatically increase adoption rates.

Prepare Assets

Create an icon (512x512 PNG), screenshots showing your server in action, and a compelling description that highlights key features.

Configure mcpize.yaml for Marketplace

The mcpize.yaml file is the heart of your server configuration. It defines everything from server settings to marketplace metadata and pricing tiers. Here's a complete example:
