Remote

You can run a remote MCP server that exposes your tools to clients without requiring authentication. This setup lets you deploy your MCP server on a cloud edge like Cloudflare Workers and connect from MCP clients or the Cloudflare AI Playground to use your tools directly from anywhere.

How to use

Connect from an MCP client to your remote server to access your tools. You can use the Cloudflare AI Playground to experiment with your MCP server by pointing it to the deployed URL. You can also configure local clients like Claude Desktop to reach the remote server through the mcp-remote proxy and use your tools in your own environment.

To connect from the Cloudflare AI Playground, open Playground and enter your deployed MCP server URL to begin using your MCP tools directly from the playground.

To connect from Claude Desktop, add a remote MCP server entry that points to your server’s SSE endpoint. Use the following approach in Claude Desktop Settings > Developer > Edit Config to enable and reference your remote server.

Example configuration you would place in Claude Desktop to access the remote server (replace with your actual URL):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "calculator": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "http://remote-mcp-server-authless.your-account.workers.dev/sse"
      ]
    }
  }
}
