Deploy to Production

Redop is runtime-agnostic. The same MCP app can run on Bun (.listen()), Node (listenNode), Cloudflare Workers (cloudflare), or Vercel (vercel).

Choose a platform

Platform	Best for	Recommended transport	`create-redop-app` preset	Fit today
Railway	Fastest hosted Bun setup	`http` + `.listen()`	`railway`	Recommended
Fly.io	Always-on Docker deployment	`http` + `.listen()`	`fly-io`	Recommended
Docker	Self-hosting or custom infra	`http` + `.listen()`	`fly-io` gives you a starting Dockerfile	Recommended
Unkey	Docker deployment with preview environments, rollbacks, and Sentinel	`http` + `.listen()`	`unkey`	Supported
Node.js	Long-lived Node hosts	`http` via `@redopjs/redop/node`	none	Supported
Cloudflare Workers	Edge/stateless MCP	fetch adapter	`cloudflare`	Supported (stateless)
Vercel / Edge	Function/stateless MCP	fetch adapter	`vercel`	Supported (stateless)

Redop hosting model

Use http for hosted MCP servers.
Bun default: bind to 0.0.0.0, read PORT, expose /mcp via .listen(...).
Adapter targets: export cloudflare(app), vercel(app), or call listenNode(app).
Prefer MCP 2026-07-28 on serverless/edge.
If your platform wants a separate health route, enable one with health: true or health: { path: "/health" }.

stdio is for local MCP host integrations. It is not the normal production path for a hosted Redop HTTP server.

Quick verification shape

curl -i -X POST http://localhost:3000/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":0,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-11-25","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"manual-check","version":"1.0.0"}}}'

For serverless/edge, prefer:

curl -i -X POST https://your-host/mcp \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'MCP-Protocol-Version: 2026-07-28' \
  -H 'Mcp-Method: server/discover' \
  --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":0,"method":"server/discover","params":{}}'

Deploy to Railway for the shortest hosted Bun path
Deploy to Fly.io for Docker always-on
Deploy with Docker for self-hosting
Deploy to Unkey for Docker + previews / Sentinel
Deploy on Node.js for long-lived Node
Deploy to Cloudflare Workers for Workers
Deploy to Vercel for Vercel / Edge
