Hi @user, before I start the implementation https://github.com/archestra-ai/archestra/issues/3857 I'd like to confirm a few design choices that the issue doesn't make
explicit. The answers will significantly shape the PR.
1. Where should these settings live?
- Platform-level only - env vars / Helm values set by DevOps at deploy time (e.g. ARCHESTRAORCHESTRATORPERSONALK8SNAMESPACE,
ARCHESTRAORCHESTRATORPERSONAL_KUBECONFIG)
- Per-organization, configurable by admins via the UI (stored in DB)
- Per-team
- Per-user (each user configures their own)
The phrasing "through KUBECONFIG" suggests env/Helm, but I want to confirm.
2. One shared personal namespace, or one per user?
- A single shared namespace for all personal MCP servers across the org
- Namespace-per-user (e.g. personal-{userId}) for full isolation between users
3. Fallback behaviour when personal config is NOT set?
- Fall back to the current default namespace (no-op for existing installations, safe rollout)
- Hard-fail: installing a personal MCP server is rejected until the operator configures the personal target
4. What about existing personal MCP servers after the release?
- Leave them in the old namespace (no migration)
- Auto-redeploy them into the new namespace on next runtime startup
- Require manual reinstall
5. UI scope?
- No UI changes - env/Helm + docs only
- Read-only badge on personal MCP servers showing "deployed to namespace X / cluster Y"
- Full admin settings page to view/edit the personal target
6. PR scope you want to see?
- Backend runtime (manager, k8s-deployment, config) + tests + docs only
- Backend + UI badge
- Backend + full admin settings UI
