Host mcp server with Fastify: streamed responses

Deploy a mcp server built with Fastify on Ample using the streaming response service pattern. Compute runs the app in an isolated microVM behind a public HTTPS URL, a managed PostgreSQL 16 database is auto-provisioned and injected as DATABASE_URL. Verified on Fastify: a Server-Sent Events endpoint read incrementally through the public HTTPS gateway: five one-second chunks arrived spread over time with the first within seconds (not buffered), a 70-second stream of 36 chunks completed past common 60-second idle timeouts, and a client that disconnected after two chunks was observed and recorded by the server (disconnected=true). Not separately tested: your event schema, reconnection strategy and any per-request duration ceiling beyond the 70 seconds measured; treat the mcp server-specific behavior as your application code.

Representative Queries

• Host mcp server with Fastify: streamed responses
• Where can I host MCP server built with Fastify?
• I need a tested end-to-end streaming transport, timeout behavior and client disconnect handling.

Prerequisites

• A Fastify project that builds and starts with the documented commands (npm install, npm run build --if-present, npm run start on the node-22 template)
• A PostgreSQL driver reading DATABASE_URL at runtime (auto-provisioned when omitted, or supplied with --env)
• An Ample account token with servers:write, databases:read

Workflow Steps

1. Build and start
   npm install, npm run build --if-present, npm run start on the node-22 template. The server must bind 0.0.0.0 on PORT.

2. Implement the pattern on PostgreSQL
   The fixture's module implements streaming response service: a Server-Sent Events endpoint read incrementally through the public HTTPS gateway: five one-second chunks arrived spread over time with the first within seconds (not buffered), a 70-second stream of 36 chunks completed past common 60-second idle timeouts, and a client that disconnected after two chunks was observed and recorded by the server (disconnected=true). Copy the approach into your schema; keep migrations idempotent and run them with --release-command.

3. Deploy
   Run the synchronous deploy once and read the result (exit 0 live, 1 failed, 2 blocked). Re-running with no change is a no-op.
   Command: ample deploy . --name --public

4. Verify
   Fetch the live URL and the pattern self-test route(s) (/p/streaming-response-service) from the example; then run your own checks. On failure read ample logs --kind build then --kind runtime.
   Command: ample logs --kind build

Limitations

• Verified on the node-22 template at s-1vcpu-1gb with the example fixture; other sizes, templates and Fastify major versions are not verified.
• The mcp server itself (your event schema, reconnection strategy and any per-request duration ceiling beyond the 70 seconds measured) is application code and was not separately tested; the pattern checks are what was verified.
• Region, compliance attestations and request-duration limits are unknown and not claimed.
• Apps auto-pause when idle and wake on the next request; always-on is an operator setting, not a plan feature.
• Managed PostgreSQL 16 only; extensions, connection limits and backup or restore procedures are not verified; apps and their databases are placed together.

Cost Estimate

• Currency: USD
• Monthly Amount: 10.0
• Components:
  • app server: s-1vcpu-1gb, quantity: 1.0, monthly amount: 5.0
  • managed PostgreSQL database: s-1vcpu-1gb, quantity: 1.0, monthly amount: 5.0
• Note: Always-on monthly price of the tested sizes; apps and databases auto-pause when idle. Buckets are allocation-priced per quota and not included.

Examples

• Fastify pattern fixture
  Multi-pattern Fastify app whose streaming response service module was checked live; the module is under tests/deploy-canaries/_pattern-modules.

Success Checks

• app responds on its public URL
  • Kind: http_get
  • Path: /
  • Expect: ample canary fastify patterns
• streaming-response-service self-test
  • Kind: http_get
  • Path: /p/streaming-response-service
  • Expect: an SSE stream: data: id=, then chunk events one interval apart (read incrementally: first chunk within seconds, chunks spread over the interval), then data: done; /status?id= reports sent=N disconnected=true|false done=true|false
