Overview

Ready templates are pre-built MCP server images tailored to specific business verticals. Each template exposes tools and resources relevant to that industry — you provide the configuration, Ready handles the rest.
ezForge Ready is currently in development. Templates shown here represent the planned launch verticals.

Templates are configuration-driven, not code-generated. The same OCI image serves all businesses in a vertical — your unique data is injected as configuration at deploy time.

​
Template architecture

Each template is a pre-built OCI container image that:
  1. Reads configuration from the EZFORGE_READY_CONFIG environment variable at startup
  2. Exposes MCP-compliant tools and resources based on the configuration
  3. Runs in an isolated Firecracker microVM on ezForge Platform
  4. Supports auto-stop/auto-start (scale-to-zero) like any Platform server
