Deployment

Quick Start

# Clone and build
git clone https://github.com/TheArchitectit/agent-guardrails-template.git
cd agent-guardrails-template/mcp-server
make build

# Deploy with Podman Compose
export DB_PASSWORD=your_secure_password
export MCP_API_KEY=your_mcp_api_key
export IDE_API_KEY=your_ide_api_key
podman-compose -f deploy/podman-compose.yml up -d

Kubernetes

# Apply Kubernetes manifests
kubectl apply -f deploy/k8s-deployment.yaml

Verification

Health Checks

# Liveness
