Postgres Remote

You can run a PostgreSQL-backed MCP server that connects to your database remotely and exposes it to MCP clients. This setup lets you use familiar PostgreSQL access patterns through MCP-enabled tools and client apps, including remote execution via Cloudflare Workers.

How to use

Connect to your MCP server from any compatible MCP client using the remote URL or local proxy configuration provided in the setup snippets.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before starting:

• Node.js installed on your machine (recommended LTS version)
• npm installed with Node.js

1. Create the Cloudflare-based MCP server using the functional template

Run the server and configure environment

Use the following command to create a remote MCP server instance on your local machine, using the Cloudflare template for PostgreSQL MCP.

npm create cloudflare@latest -- my-mcp-server --template=https://github.com/Stratus-Cyber/postgres-mcp-cloudflare.git

Set environment variables for Cloudflare deployment

After deployment, configure the environment variables in the Cloudflare console under Settings > Variables and Secrets. Add a Secret with name DATABASE_URL that contains your PostgreSQL connection string.

DATABASE_URL=postgresql://<connection string>

Connect to Cloudflare AI Playground

You can test and use your MCP server from the Cloudflare AI Playground as a remote MCP client.

https://playground.ai.cloudflare.com/

Enter your deployed MCP server URL in the field: postgres-mcp-cloudflare.<your-account>.workers.dev/sse

## Connect Claude Desktop to your MCP server

To connect Claude Desktop to your MCP server, configure a stdio-based MCP client entry that points to the server’s remote endpoint.

{ "mcpServers": { "calculator": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "mcp-remote", "http://localhost:8787/sse" // or remote-mcp-server-authless.<your-account>.workers.dev/sse ] } } }

Restart Claude and you should see the tools become available.

Connect Cursor AI to your MCP server

On Mac OS, configure a global MCP server entry in Cursor to point to your MCP server as an HTTP endpoint.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "postgresql-remote-mcp": {
      "url": "https://postgresql-mcp-cloudflare.<your-account>.workers.dev/sse"
    }
  }
}
