What are you trying to do that currently feels hard or impossible?

👋

Based on the existing documentation, we can create a Helm chart for making deployments of the MCP toolbox easier & standardized on Kubernetes.

As an example of a potential benefit, we could have values options for # of replicas (servers), horizontal auto-scaling (HPA), explicit resources, etc. for increased reliability.

Suggested Solution(s)

• helm/genai-toolbox/ or helm-charts/ as a new top-level directory, containing:
  • Deployment - for the MCP server(s)
  • topologySpreadConstraints & [anti-]affinities to run instances across AWS AZs / GCP Zones.
  • Service - for access
  • HorizontalPodAutoscaler - for the auto-scaling option
  • ServiceAccount - can bring-your-own or option to define it in chart
  • Secret - for tools.yaml
  • ...
