FAQ from Remote MCP Server on Cloudflare

How do I run the server locally?

Clone the repo, run npx nx dev remote-mcp-server in the ai directory, then open http://localhost:8787/ in a browser.

How do I connect the MCP Inspector to my local server?

Start the inspector with npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector, set Transport Type to SSE and URL to http://localhost:8787/sse, then click “Connect”. You will be prompted to log in (any email/password works in the mock flow).

How do I deploy the server to Cloudflare?

Create a KV namespace with npx wrangler kv namespace create OAUTH_KV, paste the returned ID into your wrangler.jsonc file, then run npm run deploy.

How do I connect Claude Desktop to a remote instance?

Update your Claude Desktop config file to use the mcp-remote command and point it to your workers.dev URL (e.g., https://worker-name.account-name.workers.dev/sse). Restart Claude; a browser window will open for login.

How can I debug connection issues?

Try connecting directly from the command line with npx mcp-remote http://localhost:8787/sse. In rare cases, clearing the ~/.mcp-auth folder can resolve authentication problems. Restarting Claude may also help.
