Toolglade’s take

Cloudflare is one of the strongest platforms for the remote-MCP shift: deploy a server to Workers, get Durable Objects for state, and lean on built-in OAuth and per-user permissions, all on infrastructure that scales globally. Its close tracking of the spec (including the stateless 2026 revision) is reassuring. Caveats: you're building on Cloudflare's stack and its abstractions, costs follow Workers/Durable Objects usage at scale, and the enterprise portal/reference architecture is newer. Verify current platform pricing and spec support.

About Cloudflare MCP

Cloudflare lets developers build, deploy, and host remote MCP servers on Workers and Durable Objects with built-in OAuth and per-user tool permissions, and runs a catalog of managed remote MCP servers for its own products. It tracks the latest MCP spec, including the stateless 2026-07-28 revision, and offers an enterprise reference architecture. Pricing follows Cloudflare's platform, which has free tiers.

Cloudflare provides infrastructure for the remote-MCP era: you can build and deploy MCP servers on Cloudflare Workers (optionally with Durable Objects for state), with guides and libraries for authentication and authorization so users sign in before accessing tools, and per-user tool permissions. Cloudflare also runs its own catalog of managed remote MCP servers for products like Workers, DNS, and observability, connectable from clients such as Claude and Windsurf or Cloudflare's AI Playground. Cloudflare has stayed close to the spec, supporting the MCP 2026-07-28 specification that makes MCP a fully stateless protocol while remaining compatible with 2025 Streamable HTTP clients. For enterprises, Cloudflare published a reference architecture and a portal supporting both Cloudflare-hosted and third-party remote MCP servers for simpler, safer, cheaper deployments. Pricing follows Cloudflare's platform: Workers and Durable Objects have free tiers, with usage-based paid plans beyond them.

TL;DR

Cloudflare is a leading platform for remote MCP servers, letting you deploy to Workers and Durable Objects with built-in OAuth, plus managed servers and an enterprise reference architecture.
