MCP SaaS Platforms: Deployment Options

A growing set of SaaS platforms will host, scale, and monitor your MCP server for you — trading control for speed of setup.

What Managed Hosting Buys You

• Auto-provisioned OAuth and API key management
• Built-in request logging and per-tool usage metrics
• Zero-downtime deploys without writing your own CI pipeline

When Self-Hosting Still Wins

If your server touches regulated data, needs VPC-only network access, or has unusual scaling patterns, self-hosting on AWS, Azure, or GCP gives you control the managed platforms don't yet expose.
