> Build, deploy, and discover MCP servers with ezForge

## What is ezForge?

**ezForge** is a complete ecosystem for [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) servers — from development to discovery. Three products, one platform:

For developers who build MCP servers:

* **One-command deploys** — Push a container image or Dockerfile; ezForge handles the rest
* **Managed OAuth 2.1** — Built-in MCP authentication with PKCE; bring your own auth provider (BYOA) if you prefer
* **Live subdomains** — Every server gets a `{slug}.mcp.ezforge.ai` subdomain, TLS included
* **Auto-stop / auto-start** — Servers spin down when idle and wake instantly on request, keeping costs low
* **Instant rollback** — Roll back to any of the last 10 deployments (3 on the Free tier) with a single command
* **Encrypted environment variables** — Secrets stored with AES-256-GCM encryption; decrypted only inside your server's microVM

For business owners who want AI agents to find them:

* **No code required** — Complete a guided setup wizard in under 15 minutes
* **Vertical templates** — Pre-built MCP servers for restaurants, salons, home services, and more
* **Instant agent presence** — Your business gets a `{slug}.ready.ezforge.ai` endpoint
* **Managed everything** — Hosting, auth, updates, and monitoring included

## ezForge <span style={{color: '#8B5CF6'}}>Hub</span>

For AI agents looking for verified services:

* **Auto-populated registry** — Platform and Ready servers on paid plans get an automatic Hub listing
* **Trust-based ranking** — Health scores and usage metrics for every listed server, plus a verification badge on Pro and featured placement on Enterprise
* **SKILL.md** — Portable capability manifests for every MCP server
* **Agent platform integrations** — Native discovery for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, and more

## How it works

```
Your MCP Server Code
      │
      ▼
  ezforge deploy
      │
      ▼
Build → Trivy Scan → Push to Registry → Provision Microvm → Health Check
      │
      ▼
{slug}.mcp.ezforge.ai  ← MCP clients connect here
```

Each MCP server runs in an isolated [Fly.io Machines](https://fly.io/docs/machines/) (Firecracker microVM), giving you hardware-level tenant isolation.
