Frequently asked questions

What transport does the server use?

The server uses SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport, exposed at the `/sse` endpoint of the deployed Worker URL.

Does the server require authentication?

No, this deployment is deliberately without authentication to simplify setup and testing.

How do I add custom tools?

Edit the `init()` method in `src/index.ts` and define each tool with `this.server.tool(...)` following Cloudflare’s MCP tools documentation.

How can I connect from Claude Desktop?

Use the `mcp-remote` npm package as a proxy: run `npx mcp-remote <your-sse-url>` and configure Claude Desktop’s `mcpServers` to use that command.

Where is the server deployed?

It is deployed to a Cloudflare Workers URL like `remote-mcp-server-authless.<your-account>.workers.dev/sse`.
