Deployment templates for hosting the MCP registry

[Joffref]

As the MCP Registry has been recently released, it would be helpful to offer more deployment options beyond Docker Compose. Ideally, we should provide templates for both bare metal and Kubernetes environments to support a broader range of users and infrastructure setups.

Goals:

• Provide templates and examples for hosting the MCP Registry
• Encourage best-practice sharing across the community

Outputs:

• Deployment templates for Kubernetes
• Deployment templates for bare-metal installation
• Documentation with sample use cases and deployment patterns

@Joffref this is a concept that is meant to be out of scope / not a use case of the centralized registry code:

Reusability of infrastructure, implementation detail decisions: While we expect the ecosystem to reuse the shapes (such as OpenAPI shape, mcp.json shape) associated with this work, we are not designing for reuse of the underlying implementation details and infrastructure. As such, we will not provide instructions on "how to serve your own instance of this metaregistry".

I'd encourage contributing to the discussion here if you feel like that should be reconsidered: modelcontextprotocol/registry#15

(however if you are keen to just work on this as a community initiative without relying on plans to add it to the official repo's, that's very fair; just offering my perspective on the scope of the official repo)
