+description: How to run ASP.NET Core MCP servers in Docker containers using Streamable HTTP transport.
+uid: docker-deployment
+---
+
+## Docker deployment for MCP servers
+
+Docker is a practical way to package and run MCP servers consistently across development, CI, and production environments. For HTTP-based MCP servers, use ASP.NET Core hosting with Streamable HTTP.
+
+This guide assumes you already have an ASP.NET Core MCP server configured with `ModelContextProtocol.AspNetCore`, `WithHttpTransport()`, and `MapMcp()`.
+
+<!-- mlc-disable-next-line -->
+> [!TIP]
+> For local, process-based integrations where the client launches the server directly, stdio is often simpler. For remote and containerized deployments, Streamable HTTP is the recommended transport.
+
+### Baseline server
+
+A minimal HTTP-based MCP server looks like this:
+
+```csharp
+using ModelContextProtocol.Server;
+
+var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
+
+builder.Services.AddMcpServer()
+    .WithHttpTransport()
+    .WithToolsFromAssembly();
+
+var app = builder.Build();
+
+app.MapMcp("/mcp");
+app.Run();
+```
+
+### Dockerfile
+
+Use a multi-stage Docker build so SDK tooling stays in the build stage and only runtime dependencies are shipped in the final image.
+
+```dockerfile
+# Build stage
+FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:10.0 AS build
+WORKDIR /src
+
+COPY . .
+RUN dotnet restore
+RUN dotnet publish -c Release -o /app/publish
+
+# Runtime stage
+FROM mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:10.0 AS runtime
+WORKDIR /app
+
+COPY --from=build /app/publish .
+
+# MCP HTTP endpoint listens on 8080 inside container
+ENV ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://+:8080
+EXPOSE 8080
+
+ENTRYPOINT ["dotnet", "MyMcpServer.dll"]
+```
+
+Replace `MyMcpServer.dll` with your server assembly output name.
+
+### Build and run
+
+Build the image:
+
+```bash
+docker build -t my-mcp-server:latest .
+```
+
+Run the container and map host port `3001` to container port `8080`:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -p 3001:8080 my-mcp-server:latest
+```
+
+With the baseline route above (`app.MapMcp("/mcp")`), clients connect to the Streamable HTTP endpoint at `http://localhost:3001/mcp`.
+
+Streamable HTTP is the recommended transport for containerized MCP servers. The legacy SSE endpoints (`/mcp/sse` and `/mcp/message`) are not mapped by default, and the option to enable them is obsolete. See [Transports](../transports/transports.md) for details.
+
+### Configuration and secrets
+
+Pass configuration through environment variables rather than baking secrets into the image:
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -p 3001:8080 \
+  -e ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT=Production \
+  -e MYAPP__APIKEY=example \
+  my-mcp-server:latest
+```
+
+ASP.NET Core binds `MYAPP__APIKEY` to `MYAPP:APIKEY` in configuration.
+
+<!-- mlc-disable-next-line -->
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Do not commit real tokens or credentials into Dockerfiles, compose files, or source code. Use runtime environment variables or an external secret store.
+
+### Health and readiness
+
+For container orchestrators, add an HTTP health endpoint and use it for readiness/liveness checks. Keep MCP traffic on your mapped MCP route and health probes on a separate route.
+
+### Reverse proxies and forwarded headers
+
+If your container is behind a reverse proxy (for example, ingress or load balancers), ensure forwarded headers are handled correctly so auth and origin metadata flow to the MCP server as expected.

 When using a custom route, Streamable HTTP clients should connect directly to that route (e.g., `https://host/mcp`), while SSE clients (when [legacy SSE is enabled](xref:stateless#legacy-sse-transport)) should connect to `{route}/sse` (e.g., `https://host/mcp/sse`).
 
+For containerized deployments of ASP.NET Core servers, see [Docker deployment](../deployment/docker.md).

 ### SSE transport (legacy)
 
 The [SSE (Server-Sent Events)] transport is a legacy mechanism that uses unidirectional server-to-client streaming with a separate HTTP endpoint for client-to-server messages. New implementations should prefer Streamable HTTP.
