FAQPage Schema
How do I manage MCP server lifecycle and provisioning for AI agents?▼

MCP server lifecycle management handles starting, stopping, updating, and monitoring servers to ensure stable agent tooling. It also covers cross-environment provisioning and catalog maintenance for agent integrations.

What deployment methods are available for provisioning MCP servers?▼

Provisioning MCP servers supports Docker Compose, NPX, and local binary deployment options. Each method provides ready-to-use configuration snippets to paste into your agent package configuration.

How do I configure MCP servers in apm.yml for VS Code Copilot?▼

Configuring MCP servers in apm.yml involves selecting a server from the catalog and applying the generated configuration snippet. This enables VS Code Copilot and Claude Code integrations to connect to the provisioned agent tools.

Does this MCP server orchestration work with both VS Code Copilot and Claude Code?▼

Yes, MCP server orchestration supports VS Code Copilot and Claude Code integrations. It provisions and configures agent tools across environments using standardized catalog management and deployment configuration snippets.

What is the best way to maintain an MCP server catalog for agent tools?▼

Maintaining an MCP server catalog involves keeping an up-to-date registry of available servers and their tools. This ensures accurate deployment orchestration and cross-environment provisioning for your agent packages.

Why does my MCP server configuration fail to initialize for agent packages?▼

MCP server initialization can fail if the configuration snippet is incorrectly applied to apm.yml or if the deployment method lacks proper prerequisites. Testing connectivity after applying the configuration helps validate the setup.
