Overview

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

This example deploys a remote MCP server on Cloudflare Workers without requiring authentication. It is intended for developers who want a quick, public MCP server endpoint for tools accessible via server-sent events (SSE).

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 inside the init() method of src/index.ts using this.server.tool(...). Connect to Cloudflare AI Playground by entering the deployed SSE URL, or connect to Claude Desktop using the mcp-remote proxy with the SSE URL in the claude_desktop_config.json.

2

How do I add custom tools?

Define each tool inside the `init()` method of `src/index.ts` using `this.server.tool(...)`.

3

How can I connect this server to Claude Desktop?

Use the `mcp-remote` proxy: install it via npm, then configure Claude Desktop settings with the SSE URL as shown in the README.
