Cloud Run Host MCP server containers Auto-scaling, pay-per-request, easy deploy with gcloud run deploy
Cloud Load Balancer TLS termination, routing Managed TLS certs, global routing, DDoS protection
Secret Manager Store API keys, OAuth secrets Never hardcode credentials. Rotate without redeploying
IAM + Workload Identity Service-to-service auth MCP server → Cloud SQL/BigQuery without key management
Cloud Armor WAF for MCP endpoints Rate limiting, geo-blocking, OWASP rule sets
Cloud Audit Logs Compliance trail Every API call logged automatically
