Overview

What is Building a Remote MCP Server on Cloudflare (Without Auth)?

This example deploys a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server on Cloudflare Workers without authentication. It is intended for developers who want a quick, no-frills remote MCP server to serve tools via Server-Sent Events (SSE).

How to use Building a Remote MCP Server on Cloudflare (Without Auth)?

Deploy by clicking the "Deploy to Workers" button or run npm create cloudflare@latest -- my-mcp-server --template=cloudflare/ai/demos/remote-mcp-authless in your terminal. Customize tools inside the init() method of src/index.ts using this.server.tool(...). Connect to Cloudflare AI Playground by entering your deployed URL (e.g., remote-mcp-server-authless.<account>.workers.dev/sse). Connect Claude Desktop by installing the mcp-remote proxy and adding the server configuration to Claude Desktop’s settings.

Go to https://playground.ai.cloudflare.com/, enter your deployed MCP server URL (ending in `/sse`), and the tools will be available in the playground.

How do I connect Claude Desktop?

Install the `mcp-remote` npm package. Then add a `calculator` (or custom name) entry to your Claude Desktop configuration with the command `npx mcp-remote <your-server-url>/sse`. Restart Claude.

What transport does the server use?

The server uses SSE (Server-Sent Events). The endpoint is `<your-worker-url>/sse`.
