Deployments
Deployments let you promote agents, actions, and MCP servers from one environment to another — for example, from Development to Production — without manual recreation.
What is Deployment?
A deployment copies the configuration of an agent, action, or MCP server from a source environment into a target environment. Meebly automatically detects whether a matching resource already exists in the target and lets you choose to overwrite it or create a new one.
Deployments are always initiated from the source resource using the Deploy button on its detail page or in the environment's resource list.
Actions & MCP Servers
Deploying an action or MCP server follows the same flow:
- Open the action or MCP server you want to deploy and click Deploy.
- Select the target environment from the dropdown. Meebly immediately checks whether a resource with the same identifier already exists there.
- If a conflict is detected, you'll see a warning. Choose to Overwrite the existing resource or cancel and deploy as a new one under a different name.
- Click Deploy to confirm.
Conflict Detection
Before deploying, Meebly compares the source resource against everything in the target environment using the following rules:
| Resource | Match Criteria |
|---|---|
| Action | Same Operation Name |
| MCP Server | Same Name and Type |
| Agent | Same Name |
A resource with no match in the target environment is marked New and will be created automatically. A resource that matches an existing one is marked Conflict and requires a decision before deploying.
Agents
Agent deployment is a two-step process that handles the agent itself along with all of its associated tools, MCP servers, and sub-agents in a single operation.
Review Tree
After selecting a target environment, you'll see a full review tree showing every resource that will be affected:
- Main agent — always deployed; shows whether it will be created new or overwrite an existing agent with the same name.
- Shared tools / MCP servers — tools used by two or more sub-agents are hoisted to a shared section and deployed once.
- Sub-agent tools — tools and MCP servers belonging to individual sub-agents appear under each sub-agent's row.
Each conflicting resource shows an Overwrite checkbox. Unchecking it marks the item as Don't Overwrite — the resource in the target environment is left unchanged, but the agent will still be linked to its existing counterpart there.
A summary line at the bottom of the review panel shows the total counts of overwrites, non-overwrites, and new resources before you confirm.
Orchestration Agents
Orchestration agents coordinate other agents as sub-agents rather than calling actions directly. The review tree adapts accordingly:
- Orchestration agents show the Sub-agents section. Each sub-agent is expandable to reveal its own tools and MCP servers.
- Assistant agents show only This agent's tools and MCP servers — no sub-agents section.
Sub-agents are matched to counterparts in the target environment by name. If no match exists, a new sub-agent will be created as part of the deployment.
RAG Files
If the source agent has a knowledge base (RAG), Meebly automatically copies all uploaded files to the target agent and re-embeds them in the target agent's vector store. No manual upload is required.
