We auto-extract tools from the README. The maintainer can list them under a ## Tools heading to populate this section.

Overview

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

This server lets you deploy a remote MCP server with no authentication on Cloudflare Workers. It provides a Server-Sent Events (SSE) endpoint for connecting MCP clients like Cloudflare AI Playground or Claude Desktop, and allows custom tools defined in the worker code.

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. Customize tools in src/index.ts inside the init() method using this.server.tool(...). Connect remote clients by providing the deployed SSE URL (e.g., remote-mcp-server-authless.<your-account>.workers.dev/sse). For Claude Desktop, use the mcp-remote proxy and configure the server in Settings > Developer > Edit Config.

Frequently asked questions

1

How do I deploy this MCP server?

Click the "Deploy to Workers" button from the README, or use `npm create cloudflare@latest -- my-mcp-server --template=cloudflare/ai/demos/remote-mcp-authless` to create the project locally and then deploy via Wrangler.

2

How do I add custom tools?

Open `src/index.ts` and inside the `init()` method call `this.server.tool(...)` for each tool you want to add. Refer to Cloudflare’s MCP tools documentation for the full API.

3

Can I connect to Cloudflare AI Playground?

Yes. After deployment, go to https://playground.ai.cloudflare.com/, enter your server’s SSE URL (e.g., `remote-mcp-server-authless.your-account.workers.dev/sse`), and use the tools directly.

4

How do I connect Claude Desktop to this server?

Install the `mcp-remote` proxy package, then add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration (`claude_desktop_config.json`): ```json { "mcpServers": { "calculator": { "command": "npx", "args": ["mcp-remote", "http://localhost:8787/sse"] } } } ``` Replace the URL with your deployed server’s address. Restart Claude Desktop.

5

Does this server require authentication?

No. The server is explicitly built without authentication. Anyone with the SSE URL can connect to it and use its tools.
