Deployment

This page is for self-hosting. If your goal is only to use Rug Radar, prefer the hosted MCP endpoint at https://mcp.rugrdr.xyz/mcp.

The repository is split into two deployable surfaces:

  • the MCP/API server
  • the docs/landing site

Current Intended Split​

Docs and landing​

  • project root: apps/docs
  • build command: npm run build
  • output: build

MCP/API server​

  • project root: repository root
  • build command: npm run build
  • start command: npm run start
  • default port: 3000

Environment Planning​

At minimum for the API deployment, decide whether you want:

  • token and wallet analysis only
  • or the full watchlist/snapshot/alert feature set

For token and wallet analysis, HELIUS_API_KEY is the main requirement.

For the full feature set, add:

  • DATABASE_URL
  • optional Redis credentials
  • optional BAGS_API_KEY

Health And Metadata Endpoints​

After deployment, verify:

  • /health
  • /info

These endpoints are the fastest sanity check before testing MCP behavior.

Practical Production Notes​

  • the current code exposes public endpoints without built-in auth middleware
  • if you are running a public deployment, add auth in front of /mcp
  • if you rely on monitoring, make sure database migrations run before first traffic
  • Redis is recommended if repeated get_token_changes runs are expected

Build Validation​

Before shipping:

npm run build
npm run build --prefix apps/docs

If either build fails, fix that first. The docs and server are independent deployables, but both should stay green.
