Remote

You can deploy a remote MCP server that runs on Cloudflare Workers and expose its MCP endpoints without authentication. This enables you to connect external MCP clients (or local proxies) to your remotely hosted server and run tools directly from your setup.

How to use

Connect to your remote MCP server from MCP clients to access and run tools remotely. You have two primary ways to connect: via the Cloudflare AI Playground and via a local MCP client using a remote proxy.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before starting:

• Node.js installed on your machine
• NPM (comes with Node.js)
• Access to a shell or terminal

Step-by-step setup to deploy a remote MCP server on Cloudflare and prepare for local tool usage:

npm create cloudflare@latest -- my-mcp-server --template=cloudflare/ai/demos/remote-mcp-authless

This creates a remote MCP server configuration you can deploy to Cloudflare Workers and exposes an HTTP endpoint at a URL similar to: remote-mcp-server-authless.<your-account>.workers.dev/sse

## Additional notes

To customize your MCP server, edit the init() method in src/index.ts and add new tooling bindings using this.server.tool(...). This is where you define how each tool is exposed through the server.

You can connect your remote MCP server to an MCP client such as the Cloudflare AI Playground or Claude Desktop by following these setups.

## Available tools

### mcp-remote

Proxy to a remote MCP server through an SSE endpoint so you can access its tools from a local client or IDE.
