About DeployStack

In 2024, we realized developers were spending too much time wrestling with MCP installations instead of building. The idea of DeployStack was born. Today, DeployStack empowers teams to instantly access MCP servers through simple URLs, eliminating installation complexity and enabling developers to focus on what matters - building great applications.

Why We Built DeployStack

DeployStack started because we hit a wall managing MCP servers across our team.

The first problem was credential management. Every developer had API keys and tokens scattered across local config files. When someone left the team, we had no idea which credentials to rotate. When we wanted to see who was using which tools, we had zero visibility. Configuration drift meant "it works on my machine" became our daily reality.

The second problem showed up when teams started using more than 5-8 MCP servers. Each server adds 10-15 tools to the context window. With 10 servers, you're looking at 75,000+ tokens consumed before any actual work begins. LLM accuracy drops after 20-40 tools are loaded. Tools like Cursor enforce a 40-tool hard limit. We needed a way to scale beyond these limits without performance degradation.

We built DeployStack to solve both problems: a central control plane for credentials and team management, plus infrastructure that will reduce context window consumption through intelligent routing.

DeployStack Satellite Architecture Flow Diagram

Control Plane (cloud.deploystack.io)

Centralized management platform for all satellite infrastructure:

  • Team & User Management with role-based access control and OAuth2 authentication
  • Satellite Registration manages both global satellites (operated by DeployStack) and team satellites (customer-deployed)
  • MCP Server Catalog with approved servers and configurations available across satellites
  • Secure Credential Vault stores encrypted API keys and environment variables for satellite deployment
  • MCP Usage Analytics tracks which tools are used, by whom, and how often across your organization
  • Token Usage Monitoring shows context window consumption per team and user for optimization
  • Real-Time Monitoring provides satellite health, process status, and performance metrics
  • Audit Logging complete audit trails of all MCP tool interactions for compliance and security

Satellite Infrastructure (Edge Execution)

Managed MCP server infrastructure with flexible deployment:

  • Deploy Anywhere - Satellites can run in the cloud (managed by DeployStack), on-premise within your corporate network, or even on individual client machines. Think of them like GitHub Actions runners, but for MCP servers.
  • Global Satellites - DeployStack-operated satellites serving all teams with complete resource isolation and automatic scaling
  • Team Satellites - Customer-deployed satellites within corporate networks. This lets MCP servers access internal resources like your PostgreSQL databases, internal APIs, or file systems that aren't exposed to the internet
  • MCP Server Processes - Run as isolated processes with automatic scaling, health monitoring, and idle process management. Processes that stay inactive for 3 minutes are automatically terminated and respawned on-demand to save memory
  • Zero Installation Access - Standard HTTPS endpoints, just add a URL to VS Code. No CLI tools, no local processes, no port management
Traditionally, MCP servers run locally on the developer's PC. DeployStack shifts this execution to managed servers - our 'Satellites'. Just like GitHub Actions doesn't run code locally but on GitHub runners, we don't run MCP servers locally but on our Satellite infrastructure. This provides instant access without installation friction while enabling enterprise-grade security, team isolation, and organizational visibility.

How It All Connects:

Satellite Registration (satellites register with backend for configuration and monitoring)
OAuth2 Authentication (users authenticate with backend, access satellites with JWT tokens)
Direct MCP Access (VS Code connects directly to satellites via https://satellite.deploystack.io/mcp)
Usage Analytics (satellites report usage data to backend for organizational visibility)

This creates instant MCP access without installation friction while providing enterprise-grade security, team isolation, and organizational visibility.

Solving the Context Window Problem

When you install 10 MCP servers with 15 tools each, that's 150 tools consuming around 75,000 tokens - 37.5% of your context window gone before you start working. LLM accuracy drops significantly after 20-40 tools are loaded. Cursor enforces a 40-tool hard limit for this reason.

We're building a hierarchical router that reduces token consumption by 90%+. Instead of loading 150 tools into context, we'll expose just 2 meta-tools: discover_mcp_tools and execute_mcp_tool. That drops consumption from 75,000 tokens to around 350 tokens.

This means you'll be able to scale from 3 to 100+ MCP servers without hitting performance walls or tool limits. We're rolling this out over the next 30 days - check our roadmap for details.

Core Features

Zero Installation Friction

Just add a single URL to your MCP Client - no CLI tools, no local processes, no configuration complexity. It works like OpenAI API or Claude API with a familiar HTTPS pattern, giving you instant access without any system dependencies or setup.

Context Window Optimization

Our hierarchical router reduces token consumption by over 90%, allowing you to scale from 3 to 100+ MCP servers without performance degradation. Instead of exposing 150+ individual tools, we expose just 2 meta-tools, and our token analytics dashboard shows near real-time context usage.

MCP-as-a-Service Infrastructure

DeployStack operates global satellites with high availability, plus team satellites for enterprise on-premise deployment. Our MCP scaling managed infrastructure eliminates maintenance, making us the first managed MCP platform - not just another local proxy.

Enterprise Security & Isolation

Complete team isolation with resource boundaries keeps your data and MCP Server secure. Features include a secure credential vault with encrypted API key storage, OAuth2 authentication with role-based access control, plus audit trails and compliance features.

Open Source Foundation

Self-host the entire platform on your own infrastructure with Docker deployment options for complete control. Built on transparency, not vendor lock-in, we believe in community collaboration and open development.

Organizational Visibility

Track which developers use which MCP tools and how often, monitor expensive API usage to optimize costs, and get complete visibility into AI tool adoption patterns. Our usage analytics help you identify the most valuable tools for your team.

Instant Team Onboarding

New team members just add one URL to get immediate access - no installation, registration, or token management required. This ensures consistent tool access across all team members while eliminating configuration drift and setup complexity.

Let's Build the Future of MCP Together!

We'd love to collaborate with developers who share our vision for simplifying MCP server deployment.
