For our fifth and final announcement of the week, we’re honing in on some of the other core features that have been released in our public beta! 

Multi-environment support

Modern development workflows all have production, staging, dev environments that allow your teams to safely test and QA all your new features and versions. We think MCP Servers deserve the same best-practices, and that’s why we are releasing multi-environment support in the Alpic platform from day one.

A single “production only” deployment pigeonholes teams. With multiple environments, every stage of your development has a home.

In addition to your main production branch, Alpic allows you to create additional environments, each linked to a different branch of your GitHub repository. These environments can act as staging areas, QA setups, or feature previews. Every environment gets its own URL and environment variables, so you can test in isolation without risk to production.

For example, if you are adding a new tool to your MCP server:

1. Create a new environment within your Alpic project and connect it to a new branch (for example: your staging branch)

2. You and your teammates can validate latency, accuracy, and integration against real workflows.

3. Once you’re satisfied with your staging, merge into your production branch and the production environment updates seamlessly.

This branch-to-environment model reduces risk and speeds up iteration. Developers move quickly, production remains stable, and teams can collaborate on real, live environments before shipping.
