What is Building a Remote MCP Server?

Building a Remote MCP Server is an example project that shows how to deploy a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server on Cloudflare Workers, intended for developers who want to host MCP tools remotely.

How to use Building a Remote MCP Server?

Deploy the server by clicking the "Deploy to Workers" button in the README, which creates an instance at a URL like stocks-mcp.<your-account>.workers.dev/sse. Then connect a remote MCP client (e.g., Cloudflare AI Playground) by entering that SSE endpoint.

Key features of Building a Remote MCP Server

• Deploys an MCP server on Cloudflare Workers.
• Uses Server-Sent Events (SSE) for transport.
• One‑click deployment via Cloudflare button.
• Works as a remote endpoint for MCP clients.
• Example integration with Cloudflare AI Playground.

Use cases of Building a Remote MCP Server

• Hosting MCP tools or services on a global edge network.
• Connecting MCP tools to remote clients like AI Playground.
• Prototyping or testing remote MCP server deployment.
