FrontMCP supports multiple deployment targets out of the box. The same `@FrontMcp` server code deploys to any platform — only the build adapter and infrastructure config change.

| Target                 | Runtime          | Session Storage      | Cold Start             | Best For                            |
| ---------------------- | ---------------- | -------------------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| **Node.js / Docker**   | Long-running     | In-memory or Redis   | None                   | Full-featured servers               |
| **Vercel**             | Serverless       | Vercel KV or Redis   | Low (~50–250 ms)       | Edge-first deployments              |
| **AWS Lambda**         | Serverless       | Redis / DynamoDB     | Moderate (~100–500 ms) | AWS-native infrastructure           |
| **Cloudflare Workers** | Edge             | KV / Durable Objects | Minimal (~1–10 ms)     | Ultra-low latency                   |
| **MCP Bundle (MCPB)**  | Client-spawned   | SQLite / memory      | N/A (user machine)     | One-click installs in Claude Desktop |

> **Note:** Cold-start timings are approximate ranges that vary by provider, region, bundle size, and workload.
