Deploy and debug Model Context Protocol servers in production with Manufact Cloud
Manufact has launched a cloud hosting and debugging platform for Model Context Protocol (MCP) applications. Developers can deploy MCP servers, run cross-client tests, and trace live production traffic using Cloud Inspector.
Impact: Medium
Why it matters
You can now host your custom Model Context Protocol tools in a managed cloud environment with built-in production debugging and analytics.
TL;DR
- 01Deploy MCP servers to managed cloud hosting with minimal configuration.
- 02Debug live production agent traffic using Cloud Inspector's trace and replay features.
- 03Build cross-compatible tools using the mcp-use SDK.

Managed MCP Infrastructure
Manufact provides a production-ready platform to deploy, monitor, and distribute Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. By handling the underlying hosting, it allows developers to easily transition local MCP tools to cloud-accessible endpoints.
Debugging with Cloud Inspector
The platform features a Cloud Inspector that lets developers trace and replay live production MCP traffic. This helps identify why an agent made a specific tool call or failed to parse a response. It also provides built-in analytics for tracking tool usage, latency, and reliability.
Cross-Client Testing and SDK
Developers can use the mcp-use SDK to build full-stack MCP applications. The platform allows running identical checks across multiple LLM clients including ChatGPT, Claude, and custom implementations to ensure cross-compatible tool execution.
Try it in 2 minutes
npm install mcp-usebash
✓ When to use
- When transitioning local MCP tools to production for team or public use.
- When you need deep visibility into live agent tool calls and latency metrics.
✕ When NOT to use
- For simple, locally-run development assistants that do not require external API hosting.
- If your organization strictly forbids hosting proprietary tools on third-party cloud platforms.
What to do today
- Install the `mcp-use` SDK to start building standard-compliant MCP servers.
- Connect your test MCP server to Manufact to inspect production payload traffic.
What the community says
“MCP makes token use WORSE, not better.”
“I think you have a really neat product here, but these types of testimonials do you more harm than good”
