Remove Azure/AKS deployment configuration from deploy (#347)
## Summary
- Removed Azure deployment section and references from README
- Updated project structure to reflect current GCP prod/staging configs
- Removed Azure Load Balancer annotation from ingress controller
- Updated provider documentation to show GCP and local options only
- Added monitoring.go to project structure documentation

This cleans up outdated Azure/AKS deployment configuration that is no
longer used, leaving only the current GCP-based deployment structure.

# MCP Registry Kubernetes Deployment
This directory contains Pulumi infrastructure code to deploy the MCP Registry service to a Kubernetes cluster. It supports deploying the infrastructure locally (using an existing kubeconfig, e.g. with minikube) or to Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
## Quick Start
### Local Development
Pre-requisites:
- [Pulumi CLI installed](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/iac/download-install/)
- Access to a Kubernetes cluster via kubeconfig. You can run a cluster locally with [minikube](https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/start/).
1. Ensure your kubeconfig is configured at the cluster you want to use. For minikube, run `minikube start && minikube tunnel`.
2. Run `make local-up` to deploy the stack.
3. Access the repository via the ingress load balancer. You can find its external IP with `kubectl get svc ingress-nginx-controller -n ingress-nginx`. Then run `curl -H "Host: local.registry.modelcontextprotocol.io" -k https://<EXTERNAL-IP>/v0/ping` to check that the service is up.
#### To change config
The stack is configured out of the box for local development. But if you want to make changes, run commands like:
```bash
PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE="" pulumi config set mcp-registry:environment local
PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE="" pulumi config set mcp-registry:githubClientSecret --secret <some-secret-value>
```
#### To delete the stack
`make local-destroy` and deleting the cluster (with minikube: `minikube delete`) will reset you back to a clean state.
### Production Deployment (GCP)
**Note:** The production deployment is automatically handled by GitHub Actions. All merges to the `main` branch trigger an automatic deployment to GCP via [the configured GitHub Actions workflow](../.github/workflows/deploy.yml). The steps below are preserved as a log of what we did, or if a manual override is needed.
Pre-requisites:
- [Pulumi CLI installed](https://www.pulumi.com/docs/iac/download-install/)
- A Google Cloud Platform (GCP) account
- A GCP Service Account with appropriate permissions
1. Create a project: `gcloud projects create mcp-registry-prod`
2. Set the project: `gcloud config set project mcp-registry-prod`
3. Enable required APIs: `gcloud services enable storage.googleapis.com && gcloud services enable container.googleapis.com`
4. Create a service account with necessary permissions, and get the key:
```bash
gcloud iam service-accounts create pulumi-svc
sleep 10
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding mcp-registry-prod --member="serviceAccount:pulumi-svc@mcp-registry-prod.iam.gserviceaccount.com" --role="roles/container.admin"
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding mcp-registry-prod --member="serviceAccount:pulumi-svc@mcp-registry-prod.iam.gserviceaccount.com" --role="roles/compute.admin"
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding mcp-registry-prod --member="serviceAccount:pulumi-svc@mcp-registry-prod.iam.gserviceaccount.com" --role="roles/storage.admin"
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding mcp-registry-prod --member="serviceAccount:pulumi-svc@mcp-registry-prod.iam.gserviceaccount.com" --role="roles/storage.hmacKeyAdmin"
gcloud iam service-accounts add-iam-policy-binding $(gcloud projects describe mcp-registry-prod --format="value(projectNumber)")-compute@developer.gserviceaccount.com --member="serviceAccount:pulumi-svc@mcp-registry-prod.iam.gserviceaccount.com" --role="roles/iam.serviceAccountUser"
gcloud iam service-accounts keys create sa-key.json --iam-account=pulumi-svc@mcp-registry-prod.iam.gserviceaccount.com
```
5. Create a GCS bucket for Pulumi state: `gsutil mb gs://mcp-registry-prod-pulumi-state`
6. Set Pulumi's backend to GCS: `pulumi login gs://mcp-registry-prod-pulumi-state`
7. Get the passphrase file `passphrase.prod.txt` from the registry maintainers
8. Init the GCP stack: `PULUMI_CONFIG_PASSPHRASE_FILE=passphrase.prod.txt pulumi stack init gcpProd`
9. Set the GCP credentials in Pulumi config:
```bash
# Base64 encode the service account key and set it
pulumi config set --secret gcp:credentials "$(base64 < sa-key.json)"
```
10. Deploy: `make prod-up`
11. Access the repository via the ingress load balancer. You can find its external IP with: `kubectl get svc ingress-nginx-controller -n ingress-nginx`.
Then run `curl -H "Host: prod.registry.modelcontextprotocol.io" -k https://<EXTERNAL-IP>/v0/ping` to check that the service is up.

### Architecture Overview
#### Deployment Flow
1. Pulumi program starts in `main.go`
2. Configuration is loaded from Pulumi config files
3. Provider factory creates appropriate cluster provider (GCP or local)
4. Cluster provider sets up Kubernetes access
5. `k8s.DeployAll()` orchestrates complete deployment:
- Certificate manager for SSL/TLS
- Ingress controller for external access
- Database for data persistence
- Backup infrastructure for database
- Monitoring and metrics collection
- MCP Registry application
## Configuration
| Parameter | Description | Required |
|-----------|-------------|----------|
| `environment` | Deployment environment (local/staging/prod) | Yes |
| `provider` | Kubernetes provider (local/gcp) | No (default: local) |
| `githubClientId` | GitHub OAuth Client ID | Yes |
| `githubClientSecret` | GitHub OAuth Client Secret | Yes |
| `gcpProjectId` | GCP Project ID (required when provider=gcp) | No |
| `gcpRegion` | GCP Region (default: us-central1) | No |
## Database Backups
The deployment uses [K8up](https://k8up.io/) (a Kubernetes backup operator) that uses [Restic](https://restic.net/) under the hood.
When running locally they are stored in a Minio bucket. In staging and production, backups are stored in a GCS bucket.
### Accessing Backup Files
#### Local Development (MinIO)
```bash
# Expose MinIO web console
kubectl port-forward -n minio svc/minio 9000:9000 9001:9001
```
Then open [localhost:9001](http://localhost:9001), login with username `minioadmin` and password `minioadmin`, and navigate to the k8up-backups bucket.
##### Staging and Production (GCS)
- [Staging](https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/mcp-registry-staging-backups?project=mcp-registry-staging)
- [Production](https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser/mcp-registry-prod-backups?project=mcp-registry-prod)
#### Decrypting and Restoring Backups
Backups are encrypted using Restic. To access the backup data:
1. **Download the backup files from the bucket:**
```bash
# Local (MinIO) - ensure port-forward is active: kubectl port-forward -n minio svc/minio 9000:9000 9001:9001
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=minioadmin AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=minioadmin \
aws --endpoint-url http://localhost:9000 s3 sync s3://k8up-backups/ ./backup-files/
# GCS (staging/production)
gsutil -m cp -r gs://mcp-registry-{staging|prod}-backups/* ./backup-files/
```
2. **[Install Restic](https://restic.readthedocs.io/en/latest/020_installation.html)**
3. **Restore the backup:**
```bash
RESTIC_PASSWORD=password restic -r ./backup-files restore latest --target ./restored-files
```
PostgreSQL data will be in `./restored-files/data/registry-pg-1/pgdata/`
## Troubleshooting

kubectl get pods
kubectl get deployment
kubectl get svc
kubectl get ingress
kubectl get svc -n ingress-nginx
```
