Publish an MCP Server from a GitHub Repo (Hosting + Billing Included)

If you’ve already built an MCP server and it’s sitting in a GitHub repo, the hardest part often isn’t the code. It’s everything around it: hosting, scaling, SSL, and subscriptions/billing.

That’s what MCPize is built for.

What MCPize gives MCP server publishers

  • Deploy an MCP server from a GitHub repo (one command)
  • Cloud hosting + scaling + SSL handled
  • Subscriptions/billing “out of the box”.
  • 85% revenue share for creators (payouts via Stripe)
  • Launch offer: 0% platform fee for the first month

Start here

The simplest publish flow (GitHub → Deploy → Publish)

If your MCP server is ready on GitHub, the flow is straightforward:

  1. Open the developer portal
  2. Connect/select your repo
  3. Deploy
  4. Publish your listing

Docs (steps & setup)

Why early publishers benefit

When a catalog is still forming:

  • less competition for attention
  • more visibility per listing
  • faster first users + feedback

Marketplace to see categories/pricing patterns

Make your listing convert (quick checklist)

Even good MCP servers don’t get installs if the listing is vague. These are the 6 fields that consistently improve conversions:

  1. One-liner: what your MCP server does in plain English
  2. Use cases (2–3): what someone will actually do with it
  3. Requirements: what credentials/API keys are needed (if any)
  4. Permissions/scope: what it can access / what it cannot
  5. Pricing clarity: free vs paid, what’s included
  6. “Try it” steps: shortest path to first successful run

Want feedback on your MCP listing?

Drop your GitHub repo link in the comments. I’ll suggest improvements to the listing text (headline + use cases + setup steps) so it’s easier to understand and more likely to get installs.

Question: What MCP server are you shipping next — docs, data, devtools, or automation?
