What runtime and dependencies are required?

You need Deno installed. No external databases like Postgres or Redis are required — Deno KV provides persistent state locally and on Deno Deploy.

Where does data persist?

Data persists in Deno KV, which works zero-config locally and is built-in on Deno Deploy. An event store for session resumability is also KV-backed.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `MCP_HTTP_BEARER_TOKEN`, `MCP_PUBLIC_BASE_URL`, `DENO_DEPLOY_TOKEN`, `MCP_TLS_KEY`, `MCP_KV_PATH` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.
