Reference deployment for the authenticated HTTP MCP server (Docker + recipe) #42

Description

Reference deployment for the authenticated HTTP MCP server

The authenticated HTTP MCP transport landed in #36 (foley.make_http_app / foley.serve_http
/ foley-mcp --http --token …, bearer-token, fail-closed). What's missing is a reference
deployment
so an operator can actually stand it up.

Scope

  • A Dockerfile (+ compose) that serves foley-mcp --http with the retrieval extras, a
    mounted library volume, and tokens via env/secret.
  • A short "Deploy the MCP server" doc: TLS termination (behind a reverse proxy — the app is
    plain ASGI), token rotation, the --offline posture for sensitive narration, and health/
    readiness notes.
  • Optional: a rate-limit / concurrency note and a /healthz route.

Acceptance

  • docker run … foley-mcp --http --token … serves the tools; an MCP client connects with the
    bearer token and a request without it gets a 401.
  • The deploy recipe is documented and linked from the README "For AI agents" section.

Refs #36.
