TypeScript MCP Server on Cloudflare Workers
Build production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers using TypeScript and deploy them on Cloudflare Workers. This skill covers the official @modelcontextprotocol/sdk, HTTP transport setup, authentication patterns, Cloudflare service integrations, and comprehensive error prevention.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- Building MCP servers to expose APIs, tools, or data to LLMs
- Deploying serverless MCP endpoints on Cloudflare Workers
- Integrating external APIs as MCP tools (REST, GraphQL, databases)
- Creating stateless MCP servers for edge deployment
- Exposing Cloudflare services (D1, KV, R2, Vectorize) via MCP protocol
- Implementing authenticated MCP servers with API keys, OAuth, or Zero Trust
- Building multi-tool MCP servers with resources and prompts
- Needing production-ready templates that prevent common MCP errors
Do NOT use this skill when:
- Building Python MCP servers (use FastMCP skill instead)
- Needing stateful agents with WebSockets (use Cloudflare Agents SDK)
- Wanting long-running persistent agents with SQLite storage (use Durable Objects)
- Building local CLI tools (use stdio transport, not HTTP)
Core Concepts
MCP Protocol Components:
- Tools - Functions LLMs can invoke (Zod schemas, async handlers, external APIs)
- Resources - Data exposure (URI-based:
config://app,user://{userId}) - Prompts - Pre-configured templates for LLM interactions
- Completions - Argument auto-complete (optional)
Quick Start
1. Install Dependencies
bun add @modelcontextprotocol/sdk hono zod
bun add -d @cloudflare/workers-types wrangler typescript
2. Create Basic MCP Server
import { McpServer } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js';
import { StreamableHTTPServerTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/streamableHttp.js';
import { Hono } from 'hono';
import { z } from 'zod';
const server = new McpServer({ name: 'my-mcp-server', version: '1.0.0' });
// Register a tool
server.registerTool(
'echo',
{
description: 'Echoes back the input text',
inputSchema: z.object({ text: z.string().describe('Text to echo') })
},
async ({ text }) => ({ content: [{ type: 'text', text }] })
);
// HTTP endpoint
const app = new Hono();
app.post('/mcp', async (c) => {
const transport = new StreamableHTTPServerTransport({
sessionIdGenerator: undefined,
enableJsonResponse: true
});
// CRITICAL: Close transport to prevent memory leaks
c.res.raw.on('close', () => transport.close());
await server.connect(transport);
await transport.handleRequest(c.req.raw, c.res.raw, await c.req.json());
return c.body(null);
});
export default app;
3. Deploy
wrangler deploy
4. Use Production Templates
For complete implementations, copy from templates/ directory:
templates/basic-mcp-server.ts- Minimal working servertemplates/tool-server.ts- Multiple tools (API integrations, calculations)templates/resource-server.ts- Static and dynamic resourcestemplates/full-server.ts- Complete server (tools + resources + prompts)templates/authenticated-server.ts- Production security with API key authenticationtemplates/wrangler.jsonc- Cloudflare Workers configuration
Authentication Patterns
Quick Example - API Key Authentication (Most Common):
app.use('/mcp', async (c, next) => {
const authHeader = c.req.header('Authorization');
if (!authHeader?.startsWith('Bearer ')) {
return c.json({ error: 'Unauthorized' }, 401);
}
const apiKey = authHeader.replace('Bearer ', '');
const isValid = await c.env.MCP_API_KEYS.get(`key:${apiKey}`);
if (!isValid) return c.json({ error: 'Invalid API key' }, 403);
await next();
});
For complete authentication guide: Load references/authentication-guide.md when implementing production authentication. Covers 5 methods: API Key (recommended), Cloudflare Zero Trust Access, OAuth 2.0, JWT custom, and mTLS. Includes security best practices, testing strategies, and migration guides.
Cloudflare Service Integration
Quick Example - D1 Database Tool:
server.registerTool(
'query-database',
{
description: 'Executes SQL query on D1 database',
inputSchema: z.object({
query: z.string(),
params: z.array(z.union([z.string(), z.number()])).optional()
})
},
async ({ query, params }, env) => {
const result = await env.DB.prepare(query).bind(...(params || [])).all();
return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result.results, null, 2) }] };
}
);
Supported Services: D1 (SQL Database), KV (Key-Value Store), R2 (Object Storage), Vectorize (Vector Database), Workers AI, Queues, Analytics Engine.
For complete integration guide: Load references/cloudflare-integration.md when integrating Cloudflare services. Includes setup, MCP tool examples, best practices, and advanced patterns (RAG systems, combining services).
Testing Strategies
Quick Testing Workflow:
- Unit Tests (Vitest): Test tool logic in isolation
- Integration Tests (MCP Inspector): Test with
bunx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector - E2E Tests: Test with real MCP clients
# Local dev
npm run dev
# Test with Inspector
bunx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
For complete testing guide: Load references/testing-guide.md when writing tests. Covers unit testing with Vitest, integration testing with MCP Inspector, E2E testing, authentication testing, load testing with Artillery, mocking external APIs, and CI/CD testing patterns.
Known Issues Prevention
This skill prevents 13 documented errors. Here are the top 5 most critical:
Issue #1: Export Syntax Issues (CRITICAL)
Error: "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'map')"
Source: honojs/hono#3955
Prevention:
// ❌ WRONG // ✅ CORRECT
export default { fetch: app.fetch }; export default app;
Issue #2: Unclosed Transport Connections
Error: Memory leaks, hanging connections Prevention:
app.post('/mcp', async (c) => {
const transport = new StreamableHTTPServerTransport({...});
c.res.raw.on('close', () => transport.close()); // CRITICAL
// ... handle request
});
Issue #3: Tool Schema Validation Failure
Error: ListTools request handler fails to generate inputSchema
Source: modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk#1028
Prevention: Pass Zod schema directly - SDK handles conversion automatically
server.registerTool('tool', { inputSchema: z.object({...}) }, handler);
Issue #4: Tool Arguments Not Passed to Handler
Error: Handler receives undefined arguments
Source: modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk#1026
Prevention: Use z.infer<typeof schema> for type-safe handler parameters
Issue #5: CORS Misconfiguration
Error: Browser clients can't connect Prevention:
import { cors } from 'hono/cors';
app.use('/mcp', cors({ origin: ['http://localhost:3000'], allowMethods: ['POST', 'OPTIONS'] }));

Deployment Workflow
Quick Deployment:
# Local development
npm run dev # Server at http://localhost:8787/mcp
# Production
npm run build
wrangler deploy
# Specific environment
wrangler deploy --env production
For complete deployment guide: Load references/deployment-guide.md when setting up production. Covers environment setup (dev/staging/prod), multiple environments, custom domains, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, database migrations, monitoring & logs, rollback strategy, performance optimization, health checks, cost optimization, security checklist, and troubleshooting.

When to Use Cloudflare Agents SDK Instead
Use Cloudflare Agents MCP when you need:
- Stateful agents with persistent storage (SQLite up to 1GB)
- WebSocket support for real-time bidirectional communication
- Long-running sessions with conversation history
- Scheduled agent tasks with Durable Objects alarms
- Global distribution with automatic state replication
Use this skill (standalone TypeScript MCP) when you need:
- Stateless tools and API integrations
- Edge deployment with minimal cold start latency
- Simple authentication (API keys, OAuth)
- Pay-per-request pricing (no Durable Objects overhead)
- Maximum portability (works on any platform, not just Cloudflare)
See references/cloudflare-agents-vs-standalone.md for detailed comparison.

Critical Rules
Always Do:
✅ Close transport on response end | ✅ Use export default app syntax | ✅ Implement authentication | ✅ Add rate limiting | ✅ Use Zod schemas | ✅ Test with MCP Inspector | ✅ Update to SDK v1.20.2+ | ✅ Document all tools | ✅ Handle errors gracefully | ✅ Use environment variables
Never Do: ❌ Object wrapper export | ❌ Forget to close transport | ❌ Deploy without auth | ❌ Log env variables | ❌ Use CommonJS | ❌ Skip CORS config | ❌ Hardcode credentials | ❌ Return raw errors | ❌ Deploy untested | ❌ Use outdated SDK
Complete Setup Checklist
Use this checklist to verify your MCP server setup:
- SDK version is 1.20.2 or later
- Export syntax is correct (direct export, not object wrapper)
- Transport is closed on response end
- Authentication is implemented (if production)
- Rate limiting is configured (if public-facing)
- CORS headers are set (if browser clients)
- All tools have clear descriptions and Zod schemas
- Environment variables are used for secrets
- wrangler.jsonc includes all necessary bindings
- Local testing with
wrangler devsucceeds - MCP Inspector can connect and list tools
- Production deployment succeeds
- All tools/resources return expected responses
