My MCP server only works because a client launches it as a subprocess on my own machine, and now three teammates need to reach the same one.
What you'll have at the end
A stdio MCP server rebuilt on Streamable HTTP, packaged in a container, reachable at a real public address
You need
A working stdio MCP server with at least one tool, already tested and confirmed correct when run locally as a subprocess, and a machine where you can build and run a container image.
Not covered
This does not cover surviving several server replicas behind a load balancer, or building real per-user sign-in; it gets one HTTP server correctly serving multiple independent sessions from a single running process, reachable at a fixed, secured address.
Leans on
Ship your first real MCP server
start there first if no working server exists yet; this one assumes stdio already works locally.
Can your MCP server survive a load balancer?
for scaling this same server across more than one running process once a single one stops being enough.
Keep your MCP server from becoming a confused deputy
for when the server also has to act on a real per-user account instead of one shared team credential.
