• Ingress support (nginx, traefik, etc.)
• TLS configuration
• Resource limits and requests
• Pod disruption budget
• Horizontal pod autoscaler
• ServiceMonitor for Prometheus Operator
• NetworkPolicy for security
• Multi-tenant deployment mode

Acceptance Criteria

• helm install deploys working gateway
• All configuration options documented
• Works with Helm 3.x
• Passes helm lint
• Published to artifact hub or chart repo

Installation Example

helm repo add openmcp https://agenticdevops.github.io/openmcp/charts
helm install mcp-gateway openmcp/mcp-gateway \
  --set ingress.enabled=true \
  --set ingress.hosts[0].host=mcp.example.com
