# Deploy a repository

> How to import a GitHub repository and deploy it as an MCP server

If you already have code, you can import a GitHub repository and deploy it directly as an MCP server.

## Deployment steps

1. Select **Deploy a repository** in the server list on the [Dashboard](https://app.arlet.dev/)
2. Link your GitHub account and choose the repository to deploy (see [GitHub integration](/integrations/github) for how to link)
3. Arlet analyzes the repository and automatically determines the configuration needed to run it as an MCP server
4. Review the analysis result and run the deployment. When it completes, the server is added to your MCP server list

## After deploying

* **Auto deploy on push**: pushing to the linked repository deploys your changes automatically
* **Environment variables**: register secrets such as API keys in the server's settings screen — no need to hardcode them
* **Logs**: check deployment and tool-invocation logs on the Dashboard

<Note>
  Deployed servers are immediately usable from your connected AI clients
  through the gateway.
