Integrating context from tools and data sources into LLMs can be challenging, which impacts the ease of development for AI agents. To address this challenge, Anthropic introduced the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which standardizes how applications provide context to these models. Developers often want to build an MCP server for their APIs to make them available to fellow developers, allowing them to use it as context in their own applications. Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) provides a scalable, reliable, and secure environment to deploy these remote MCP servers.

This guide shows the straightforward process of setting up a secure remote MCP server on GKE.

MCP transports

The Model Context Protocol follows a client-server architecture. It initially only supported running the server locally using the stdio transport. The protocol has since evolved and now supports remote access transports, specifically Streamable HTTP.

With Streamable...
