Document Helm-based deployment guide for kuadrant-operator managed mcp-gateway #1235

Description

@Patryk-Stefanski

Once the kuadrant-operator umbrella operator integration lands, document the user-facing guide for deploying mcp-gateway as a managed component via kuadrant-operator.

This should cover:

  • Prerequisites (kuadrant-operator installed, Kuadrant CR created)
  • How the mcp-gateway controller is deployed automatically via Helm SSA
  • Creating an MCPGatewayExtension to provision a broker-router instance
  • Verification steps

Additionally, existing OCP installation docs will need updating to reflect the umbrella operator model:

  • The standalone mcp-gateway OLM subscription is no longer the install path on OCP
  • Users install kuadrant-operator and enable mcp-gateway via spec.components.mcpGateway.enabled on the Kuadrant CR
  • Any downstream openshift-docs or RHCL guides that reference the standalone mcp-gateway operator subscription will need revising

Note: headless mode (DISABLE_EXTENSION_RECONCILER) has been removed — not needed under the umbrella operator model. The controller always runs in full mode.
