| 55 | ## Why kMCP? |
| 56 | |
| 57 | Prototyping MCP services in isolation is quick and fun, but production adoption introduces many challenges: |
| 58 | |
| 59 | - **Ad-hoc scaffolding** - Configuring the MCP server, integrating it in Kubernetes, and operating it at enterprise scale |
| 60 | - **Transport fragmentation** – Supporting multiple protocols (HTTP, WebSocket, SSE, etc.) requires custom maintenance |
| 61 | - **Disconnected context** - Enforcing consistent security, observability, and governance for agent-to-tool communication |
| 62 | |
| 63 | **_We believe teams who have build MCP services should not experience friction when bringing those services to production. kMCP is designed to make MCP connectivity simple._** |
| 64 | |
| 65 | ## Getting Started |
| 66 | |
| 67 | Install the kmcp CLI on your local machine. |
| 68 | |
| 69 | ```bash |
| 70 | curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kagent-dev/kmcp/refs/heads/main/scripts/get-kmcp.sh | bash |
| 71 | ``` |
| 72 | |
| 73 | Verify that the kmcp CLI is installed. |
| 74 | |
| 75 | ```bash |
| 76 | kmcp --help |
| 77 | ``` |
