A web UI for browsing, configuring, and deploying MCP servers on Kubernetes / OpenShift.

• 📋 Catalog — Browse MCP servers from labeled ConfigMaps using the MCP Registry server.json standard
• ⚙️ Configure — Fill in environment variables, arguments, file mounts, and ServiceAccount via web form
• 👁️ Live YAML Preview — See the MCPServer CR update in real-time as you type (htmx)
• ▶️ Deploy — Create MCPServer custom resources, Secrets, and ConfigMaps with one click
• 🗑️ Cleanup — Delete running servers and all managed artifacts

Catalog entries are Kubernetes ConfigMaps with the label mcp.x-k8s.io/catalog-entry=true, each containing a server.json aligned with the MCP Registry standard:

{ "name": "io.example/my-mcp-server", "title": "My MCP Server", "description": "Does useful things via MCP", "version": "1.0.0", "packages": [{ "registryType": "oci", "identifier": "quay.io/example/my-mcp-server:latest", "transport": { "type": "streamable-http" }, "environmentVariables": [ { "name": "API_KEY", "isSecret": true, "isRequired": true } ] }], "_meta": { "io.openshift/k8s": { "defaultPort": 8080 } } }

Kubernetes-specific extensions live under _meta → io.openshift/k8s per the standard's publisher metadata mechanism.

• Kubernetes / OpenShift cluster with the MCP Lifecycle Operator installed
• kubectl / oc configured

Single-file install (namespaces, RBAC, deployment, service, and sample catalog):

kubectl apply -f dist/mcp-launcher.yaml

Or step-by-step:

make catalog # Create mcp-catalog namespace + sample ConfigMaps make deploy # Create mcp-system namespace + RBAC + Deployment + Service

kubectl -n mcp-system port-forward svc/mcp-launcher 8080:8080

Then open http://localhost:8080.

make build # Build binary to bin/mcp-launcher make run # Build and run locally (uses kubeconfig) make fmt # Format code make vet # Vet code make test # Run tests

make docker-build # Build with podman (ubi9/go-toolset + ubi9-micro) make docker-push # Push to quay.io/matzew/mcp-launcher:latest
