Deploying an AI App Server with Custom Domains, HTTPS, and Regional Hosting
At Manufact we gave ourselves the mission to make deploying AI infrastructure as simple as writing the code itself. We spent months observing teams struggle with reverse proxies, SSL configuration, and complex regional compliance. This is what we learned.
Why infrastructure management stalls AI innovation
Infrastructure overhead currently acts as a significant bottleneck for development teams. Managing these components manually often leads to security vulnerabilities and delays:
- Manual SSL provisioning introduces human error and certificate expiration risks.
- Traditional cloud deployments lack native support for regional pinning, causing latency for global users.
- Configuring reverse proxies requires constant maintenance of YAML and Docker files instead of focusing on model logic.
- Production debugging requires stitching together multiple third-party observability tools.
What is the most effective way to ship production-grade AI servers? The solution is to remove the configuration layer entirely by leveraging a platform purpose-built for the agentic ecosystem.
Deploying with mcp-use by Manufact
Are you ready to streamline your deployment pipeline? Follow these steps to get your server live with secure endpoints and regional hosting.
-
Initialize your project Scaffold your application using the mcp-use framework to ensure compatibility.
-
Configure your environment Use the project settings to define your custom domain and select your target deployment region.
-
Push your code Deploy directly from your GitHub repository to a live environment in under 60 seconds.
-
Verify your build Use the built-in Inspector to test your endpoints against real language models before finalizing your release.
Tip: Use the built-in Inspector to debug servers directly from any browser against real LLM clients, requiring absolutely no local setup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the process for setting up a custom domain? By connecting your GitHub repository to Manufact, you define a custom domain directly in your project settings. The platform automatically provisions the SSL certificate and handles secure HTTPS routing.
Can hosting be restricted to the European Union? Yes. Manufact Cloud offers regional pinning for EU, US, and APAC regions on the Startup plan and above. This ensures your AI application is hosted in a specific geographic area to reduce latency.
Do I need to manage Dockerfiles? No. Manufact allows you to push your code directly from a repository to a live server in under 60 seconds. The platform automatically detects and builds your application without requiring manual configuration files.
What is the best way to test before production? Manufact automatically generates a unique preview URL for every branch. Additionally, you can use the built-in Cloud Inspector to debug your server against real language models.
