If you want to deploy the wcf service to IIS, you need to add a mex endpoint, here is a demo:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>  
<configuration>  
	<system.serviceModel>  
		<services>  
			<service name="WcfService1.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="CalculatorServiceBehaviors">  
  
				  
				<endpoint address=""  
						  binding="netTcpBinding"  
						  contract="WcfService1.IService1" />  
  
				  
				<endpoint address="mex"  
						  binding="mexTcpBinding"  
						  contract="IMetadataExchange" />  
			</service>  
		</services>  
  
		<behaviors>  
			<serviceBehaviors>  
				<behavior name="CalculatorServiceBehaviors">  
					  
					<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" />  
				</behavior>  
			</serviceBehaviors>  
		</behaviors>  
	</system.serviceModel>  
  
</configuration>  

Don't forget to set the value of httpGetEnabled to false.

After successful deployment, we can find the service in the browser:
