About Building a Remote MCP Server on Cloudflare (Without Auth)

An example for deploying an unauthenticated remote MCP server on Cloudflare Workers. Developers can add tools in `src/index.ts` and connect remote or local MCP clients to the deployed endpoint.

Key features

  1. 01Deploy an unauthenticated MCP server
  2. 02Add tools in `src/index.ts`
  3. 03Connect through an SSE endpoint

Use cases

  1. 01Host tools on Cloudflare Workers
  2. 02Connect Cloudflare AI Playground
  3. 03Connect Claude Desktop through `mcp-remote`

MCP support

It provides a remote MCP server over an SSE endpoint for MCP clients. Tools are defined in `src/index.ts`.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

No install method listed yet

We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.

Tools

No tool list yet

Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

Building a Remote MCP Server on Cloudflare (Without Auth)

This example allows you to deploy a remote MCP server that doesn't require authentication on Cloudflare Workers.

Get started:

Deploy to Workers

This will deploy your MCP server to a URL like: remote-mcp-server-authless.<your-account>.workers.dev/sse

Alternatively, you can use the command line below to get the remote MCP Server created on your local machine:

npm create cloudflare@latest -- my-mcp-server --template=cloudflare/ai/demos/remote-mcp-authless

Customizing your MCP Server

To add your own tools to the MCP server, define each tool inside the init() method of src/index.ts using this.server.tool(...).

Connect to Cloudflare AI Playground

You can connect to your MCP server from the Cloudflare AI Playground, which is a remote MCP client:

  1. Go to https://playground.ai.cloudflare.com/
  2. Enter your deployed MCP server URL (remote-mcp-server-authless.<your-account>.workers.dev/sse)
  3. You can now use your MCP tools directly from the playground!

Connect Claude Desktop to your MCP server

You can also connect to your remote MCP server from local MCP clients, by using the mcp-remote proxy.

To connect to your MCP server from Claude Desktop, follow Anthropic's Quickstart and within Claude Desktop go to Settings > Developer > Edit Config.

Update with this configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "calculator": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "http://localhost:8787/sse"  // or remote-mcp-server-authless.your-account.workers.dev/sse
      ]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude and you should see the tools become available.

New to MCP?

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
