Cloud Foundry and MCP Integration

This section explores how Cloud Foundry can leverage the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enhance PaaS capabilities and application deployment workflows.

MCP Server Implementation for Cloud Foundry

class CloudFoundryServer extends MCPServer {
  capabilities = {
    tools: {
      'deploy-app': this.handleAppDeployment,
      'scale-instance': this.handleInstanceScaling,
      'manage-services': this.handleServiceManagement
    },
    resources: {
      'app-logs': this.handleAppLogs,
      'instance-metrics': this.handleMetrics,
      'service-bindings': this.handleBindings
    }
  }
}
