Why I'm Building agnexus

I've been working on agnexus for a while now, and I wanted to share why I'm building this platform and what problem I'm trying to solve.

The Problem​

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an incredible innovation. It standardizes how AI systems connect to external tools and data sources, solving the combinatorial complexity problem that plagued AI integrations. But there's a gap: deploying MCP servers to production is still too hard.

Most developers building MCP servers face the same challenges:

  • Setting up infrastructure and deployment pipelines
  • Configuring Docker containers and orchestration
  • Managing environment variables and secrets
  • Handling scaling and monitoring
  • Dealing with networking and subdomain routing

These are all important problems, but they're not the problems MCP developers want to solve. They want to build great tools that connect AI to the world.

The Vision​

agnexus is my attempt to remove all the deployment friction. I want developers to be able to:

  1. Upload their code (or connect GitHub) and deploy in minutes
  2. Focus on building MCPs instead of infrastructure
  3. Discover templates in a marketplace of pre-built solutions
  4. Scale effortlessly without worrying about servers, load balancers, or monitoring

The goal is simple: make deploying MCP servers as easy as deploying a static website.

Why Now?​

MCP is still early, but it's growing fast. More developers are building MCP servers every day. More AI applications are integrating with MCP. The ecosystem needs infrastructure that matches the protocol's simplicity.

I believe agnexus can be that infrastructure layer—the platform that makes MCP servers accessible to everyone, not just infrastructure experts.

The Journey Ahead​

Building agnexus has been challenging and rewarding. There's still a lot to do:

  • Improving the deployment experience
  • Building out the marketplace
  • Adding more features developers need
  • Making the platform more reliable and scalable

But I'm excited about where this is going. If you're building MCP servers or thinking about it, I'd love to hear from you. This platform is for the community, and I want to build it with you.

Stay tuned for the launch announcement coming soon!
