Introduction to PlugPier
PlugPier is the fastest way to deploy, host, and monetize MCP servers. Think of it as Vercel for MCP — zero-config hosting with a built-in marketplace.

What is PlugPier?
PlugPier is a one-click MCP server hosting platform. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has seen 97M monthly SDK downloads growing 970x in 18 months — PlugPier is the infrastructure layer that makes deploying MCP servers as simple as deploying websites.
You write the MCP server. We handle the Docker builds, Fly.io containers, API key authentication, rate limiting, request logging, and marketplace listing.
How it works
The architecture is three layers:
Your MCP Server — any MCP-compatible server, in any language (Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust).
PlugPier Proxy — handles auth, rate limits, logging, and billing metering before forwarding requests to your container.
AI Clients — Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client connects via the proxy endpoint.
Requests flow: Client → Cloudflare → PlugPier Proxy → Your Container (Fly.io).
Core concepts
Deployments — Each `plugpier deploy` creates an immutable deployment snapshot. Rollbacks are instant.
API Keys — Every deployment gets a unique key. Keys are scoped per-server and can be rotated without downtime.
Trust Score — An automated security and quality rating (0–100) shown on marketplace listings. Higher scores get featured placement.
Proxy Endpoint — Your server is accessible at `https://{server-slug}.plugpier.dev/mcp`. The proxy validates the key before forwarding.
