KitOps lets you version MCP servers and agent skills as OCI artifacts in container registries
iamjessew · reddit · 2026-09-21
After failing to reproduce an agent that worked "last Tuesday"—skills in one repo, MCP config elsewhere, prompts in a wiki—the author adopted KitOps (CNCF Sandbox) to version agent assets.
KitOps packs models, datasets, MCP server bundles, agent skills, and policies into versioned OCI artifacts (ModelKits). The CLI mimics Docker (kit pack / push / pull / unpack) and reuses existing OCI registries.
Useful features:
- Selective unpack so you don't download everything
- Optional CNCF ModelPack format via kit pack . --use-model-pack
- Kitfile mcpServers field for .mcpb MCP bundles as of v1.15
- Complements containers rather than replacing Docker
Install: brew tap kitops-ml/kitops && brew install kitops.
