Overview

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

Building a Remote MCP Server on Cloudflare (Without Auth) is a template for deploying a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server on Cloudflare Workers without requiring authentication. It integrates with Cloudflare’s AI Playground and local MCP clients like Claude Desktop, targeting developers who need a quick, authless remote MCP endpoint for testing or lightweight workflows.

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

Deploy via the “Deploy to Workers” button or run npm create cloudflare@latest -- my-mcp-server --template=cloudflare/ai/demos/remote-mcp-authless in the CLI. Customize tools by editing src/index.ts and defining each tool inside the init() method using this.server.tool(...). After deployment, connect MCP clients using the SSE URL (e.g., remote-mcp-server-authless.<your-account>.workers.dev/sse). For Claude Desktop, configure the mcp-remote proxy in the client settings.
