Cloud Run MCP

MCP server that enables AI agents to deploy applications to Google Cloud Run. Provides tools to deploy file contents or local folders, list and inspect Cloud Run services, retrieve service logs, list GCP projects, and create new projects. Supports local and remote (on Cloud Run itself) deployment modes.

Best When

You want AI agents to deploy and manage Google Cloud Run services with minimal friction, especially during prototyping or iterative development.

Avoid When

You need multi-cloud deployment, complex orchestration, or are not using Google Cloud Platform.

Use Cases

  • • Deploying applications to Cloud Run directly from an AI-powered IDE or CLI
  • • Listing and inspecting running Cloud Run services and their logs
  • • AI-driven infrastructure management for GCP serverless workloads
  • • Rapid prototyping with deploy-from-conversation workflows
  • • Managing multiple GCP projects and services via natural language

Not For

  • • Non-GCP cloud deployments (AWS, Azure)
  • • Complex multi-service orchestration beyond Cloud Run
  • • Production CI/CD pipelines (better suited as a developer convenience tool)

Authentication

Methods: gcloud-adc oauth iam
OAuth: Yes Scopes: Yes

Requires Google Cloud SDK authentication via 'gcloud auth login' and 'gcloud auth application-default login'. Remote deployments use IAM-authenticated proxy. OAuth supported via gcloud SDK OAuth client.

Pricing

Model: open_source
Free tier: Yes
Requires CC: No

Apache 2.0 licensed. Cloud Run itself has a generous free tier but requires a GCP billing account for production use.

Known Gotchas

  • ⚠ Some tools (deploy-local-folder, list-projects, create-project) only available in local mode, not remote
  • ⚠ Remote MCP server restricted to same GCP project as the server itself
  • ⚠ DNS rebinding protection (ENABLE_HOST_VALIDATION) is disabled by default
  • ⚠ SKIP_IAM_CHECK defaults to true, which may lead to permission errors at deploy time rather than preflight
  • ⚠ Requires GCP project and billing account setup before first use

Alternatives

gcloud CLI (manual, no MCP) Google Cloud Deploy (CI/CD focused) Terraform with GCP provider (infrastructure-as-code)
