Build stateless MCP servers with TypeScript on Cloudflare Workers using @modelcontextprotocol/sdk. Provides patterns for tools, resources, prompts, and authentication (API keys, OAuth, Zero Trust).
|
||||
|
||||
Use when exposing APIs to LLMs, integrating Cloudflare services (D1, KV, R2, Vectorize), or troubleshooting export syntax errors, unclosed transport leaks, or CORS misconfigurations.

# 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
|
||||
|
||||
**1. Tools** - Functions LLMs can invoke
|
||||
- Input/output schemas defined with Zod
|
||||
- Async handlers return structured content
|
||||
- Can call external APIs, databases, or computations
|
||||
|
||||
**2. Resources** - Static or dynamic data exposure
|
||||
- URI-based addressing (e.g., `config://app/settings`)
|
||||
- Templates support parameters (e.g., `user://{userId}`)
|
||||
- Return text, JSON, or binary data
|
||||
|
||||
**3. Prompts** - Pre-configured prompt templates
|
||||
- Provide reusable conversation starters
|
||||
- Can include placeholders and dynamic content
|
||||
- Help standardize LLM interactions
|
||||
|
||||
**4. Completions** (Optional) - Argument auto-complete
|
||||
- Suggest valid values for tool arguments
|
||||
- Improve developer experience
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Basic MCP Server Template
|
||||
|
||||
Use the `basic-mcp-server.ts` template for a minimal working server:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// See templates/basic-mcp-server.ts
|
||||
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 simple tool
|
||||
server.registerTool(
|
||||
'echo',
|
||||
{
|
||||
description: 'Echoes back the input text',
|
||||
inputSchema: z.object({
|
||||
text: z.string().describe('Text to echo back')
|
||||
})
|
||||
},
|
||||
async ({ text }) => ({
|
||||
content: [{ type: 'text', text }]
|
||||
})
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
// HTTP endpoint setup
|
||||
const app = new Hono();
|
||||
|
||||
app.post('/mcp', async (c) => {
|
||||
const transport = new StreamableHTTPServerTransport({
|
||||
sessionIdGenerator: undefined,
|
||||
enableJsonResponse: true
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// CRITICAL: Close transport on response end 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;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Install dependencies:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk hono zod
|
||||
npm install -D @cloudflare/workers-types wrangler typescript
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Deploy:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
wrangler deploy
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Tool-Server Template
|
||||
|
||||
Use `tool-server.ts` for exposing multiple tools (API integrations, calculations):
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// Example: Weather API tool
|
||||
server.registerTool(
|
||||
'get-weather',
|
||||
{
|
||||
description: 'Fetches current weather for a city',
|
||||
inputSchema: z.object({
|
||||
city: z.string().describe('City name'),
|
||||
units: z.enum(['metric', 'imperial']).default('metric')
|
||||
})
|
||||
},
|
||||
async ({ city, units }, env) => {
|
||||
const response = await fetch(
|
||||
`https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=${city}&units=${units}&appid=${env.WEATHER_API_KEY}`
|
||||
);
|
||||
const data = await response.json();
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
content: [{
|
||||
type: 'text',
|
||||
text: `Temperature in ${city}: ${data.main.temp}°${units === 'metric' ? 'C' : 'F'}`
|
||||
}]
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Resource-Server Template
|
||||
|
||||
Use `resource-server.ts` for exposing data:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { ResourceTemplate } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/types.js';
|
||||
|
||||
// Static resource
|
||||
server.registerResource(
|
||||
'config',
|
||||
new ResourceTemplate('config://app', { list: undefined }),
|
||||
{ description: 'Application configuration' },
|
||||
async (uri) => ({
|
||||
contents: [{
|
||||
uri: uri.href,
|
||||
mimeType: 'application/json',
|
||||
text: JSON.stringify({ version: '1.0.0', features: ['tool1', 'tool2'] })
|
||||
}]
|
||||
})
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
// Dynamic resource with parameter
|
||||
server.registerResource(
|
||||
'user-profile',
|
||||
new ResourceTemplate('user://{userId}', { list: undefined }),
|
||||
{ description: 'User profile data' },
|
||||
async (uri, { userId }, env) => {
|
||||
const user = await env.DB.prepare('SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?').bind(userId).first();
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
contents: [{
|
||||
uri: uri.href,
|
||||
mimeType: 'application/json',
|
||||
text: JSON.stringify(user)
|
||||
}]
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Authenticated Server Template
|
||||
|
||||
Use `authenticated-server.ts` for production security:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { Hono } from 'hono';
|
||||
|
||||
const app = new Hono();
|
||||
|
||||
// API Key authentication middleware
|
||||
app.use('/mcp', async (c, next) => {
|
||||
const authHeader = c.req.header('Authorization');
|
||||
if (!authHeader || !authHeader.startsWith('Bearer ')) {
|
||||
return c.json({ error: 'Unauthorized' }, 401);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const apiKey = authHeader.replace('Bearer ', '');
|
||||
const isValid = await c.env.MCP_API_KEYS.get(`key:${apiKey}`);
|
||||
|
||||
if (!isValid) {
|
||||
return c.json({ error: 'Invalid API key' }, 403);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
await next();
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
app.post('/mcp', async (c) => {
|
||||
// MCP server logic (user is authenticated)
|
||||
// ... transport setup and handling
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Authentication Patterns
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 1: API Key (Recommended for Most Cases)
|
||||
|
||||
**Setup:**
|
||||
1. Create KV namespace: `wrangler kv namespace create MCP_API_KEYS`
|
||||
2. Add to `wrangler.jsonc`:
|
||||
```jsonc
|
||||
{
|
||||
"kv_namespaces": [
|
||||
{ "binding": "MCP_API_KEYS", "id": "YOUR_NAMESPACE_ID" }
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation:**
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
async function verifyApiKey(key: string, env: Env): Promise<boolean> {
|
||||
const storedKey = await env.MCP_API_KEYS.get(`key:${key}`);
|
||||
return storedKey !== null;
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Manage keys:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Add key
|
||||
wrangler kv key put --binding=MCP_API_KEYS "key:abc123" "true"
|
||||
|
||||
# Revoke key
|
||||
wrangler kv key delete --binding=MCP_API_KEYS "key:abc123"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 2: Cloudflare Zero Trust Access
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { verifyJWT } from '@cloudflare/workers-jwt';
|
||||
|
||||
const jwt = c.req.header('Cf-Access-Jwt-Assertion');
|
||||
if (!jwt) {
|
||||
return c.json({ error: 'Access denied' }, 403);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
const payload = await verifyJWT(jwt, c.env.CF_ACCESS_TEAM_DOMAIN);
|
||||
// User authenticated via Cloudflare Access
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Pattern 3: OAuth 2.0
|
||||
|
||||
See `references/authentication-guide.md` for complete OAuth implementation.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Cloudflare Service Integration
|
||||
|
||||
### D1 Database Tool Example
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
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)
|
||||
}]
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Wrangler config:**
|
||||
```jsonc
|
||||
{
|
||||
"d1_databases": [
|
||||
{ "binding": "DB", "database_name": "my-db", "database_id": "..." }
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### KV Storage Tool Example
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
server.registerTool(
|
||||
'get-cache',
|
||||
{
|
||||
description: 'Retrieves cached value by key',
|
||||
inputSchema: z.object({ key: z.string() })
|
||||
},
|
||||
async ({ key }, env) => {
|
||||
const value = await env.CACHE.get(key);
|
||||
return {
|
||||
content: [{ type: 'text', text: value || 'Key not found' }]
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### R2 Object Storage Tool Example
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
server.registerTool(
|
||||
'upload-file',
|
||||
{
|
||||
description: 'Uploads file to R2 bucket',
|
||||
inputSchema: z.object({
|
||||
key: z.string(),
|
||||
content: z.string(),
|
||||
contentType: z.string().optional()
|
||||
})
|
||||
},
|
||||
async ({ key, content, contentType }, env) => {
|
||||
await env.BUCKET.put(key, content, {
|
||||
httpMetadata: { contentType: contentType || 'text/plain' }
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
content: [{ type: 'text', text: `File uploaded: ${key}` }]
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Vectorize Search Tool Example
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
server.registerTool(
|
||||
'semantic-search',
|
||||
{
|
||||
description: 'Searches vector database',
|
||||
inputSchema: z.object({
|
||||
query: z.string(),
|
||||
topK: z.number().default(5)
|
||||
})
|
||||
},
|
||||
async ({ query, topK }, env) => {
|
||||
const embedding = await env.AI.run('@cf/baai/bge-base-en-v1.5', {
|
||||
text: query
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
const results = await env.VECTORIZE.query(embedding.data[0], {
|
||||
topK,
|
||||
returnMetadata: true
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
content: [{
|
||||
type: 'text',
|
||||
text: JSON.stringify(results.matches, null, 2)
|
||||
}]
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Testing Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Unit Testing with Vitest
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
|
||||
import { McpServer } from '@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js';
|
||||
import { z } from 'zod';
|
||||
|
||||
describe('Calculator Tool', () => {
|
||||
it('should add two numbers', async () => {
|
||||
const server = new McpServer({ name: 'test', version: '1.0.0' });
|
||||
|
||||
server.registerTool(
|
||||
'add',
|
||||
{
|
||||
description: 'Adds two numbers',
|
||||
inputSchema: z.object({
|
||||
a: z.number(),
|
||||
b: z.number()
|
||||
})
|
||||
},
|
||||
async ({ a, b }) => ({
|
||||
content: [{ type: 'text', text: String(a + b) }]
|
||||
})
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
// Test tool execution
|
||||
const result = await server.callTool('add', { a: 5, b: 3 });
|
||||
expect(result.content[0].text).toBe('8');
|
||||
});
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Install:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npm install -D vitest @cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Run:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx vitest
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Integration Testing with MCP Inspector
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Run server locally
|
||||
npm run dev
|
||||
|
||||
# In another terminal
|
||||
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector
|
||||
|
||||
# Connect to: http://localhost:8787/mcp
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. E2E Testing with Claude Agent SDK
|
||||
|
||||
See `references/testing-guide.md` for comprehensive testing patterns.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Known Issues Prevention
|
||||
|
||||
This skill prevents 10+ production issues documented in official MCP SDK and Cloudflare repos:
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #1: Export Syntax Issues (CRITICAL)
|
||||
**Error**: `"Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'map')"`
|
||||
**Source**: honojs/hono#3955, honojs/vite-plugins#237
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Incorrect export format with Vite build causes cryptic errors
|
||||
**Prevention**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// ❌ WRONG - Causes cryptic build errors
|
||||
export default { fetch: app.fetch };
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ CORRECT - Direct export
|
||||
export default app;
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #2: Unclosed Transport Connections
|
||||
**Error**: Memory leaks, hanging connections
|
||||
**Source**: Best practice from SDK maintainers
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Not closing StreamableHTTPServerTransport on request end
|
||||
**Prevention**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
app.post('/mcp', async (c) => {
|
||||
const transport = new StreamableHTTPServerTransport(/*...*/);
|
||||
|
||||
// CRITICAL: Always close on response end
|
||||
c.res.raw.on('close', () => transport.close());
|
||||
|
||||
// ... handle request
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #3: Tool Schema Validation Failure
|
||||
**Error**: `ListTools request handler fails to generate inputSchema`
|
||||
**Source**: GitHub modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk#1028
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Zod schemas not properly converted to JSON Schema
|
||||
**Prevention**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// ✅ CORRECT - SDK handles Zod schema conversion automatically
|
||||
server.registerTool(
|
||||
'tool-name',
|
||||
{
|
||||
inputSchema: z.object({ a: z.number() })
|
||||
},
|
||||
handler
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
// No need for manual zodToJsonSchema() unless custom validation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #4: Tool Arguments Not Passed to Handler
|
||||
**Error**: Handler receives `undefined` arguments
|
||||
**Source**: GitHub modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk#1026
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Schema type mismatch between registration and invocation
|
||||
**Prevention**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
const schema = z.object({ a: z.number(), b: z.number() });
|
||||
type Input = z.infer<typeof schema>;
|
||||
|
||||
server.registerTool(
|
||||
'add',
|
||||
{ inputSchema: schema },
|
||||
async (args: Input) => {
|
||||
// args.a and args.b properly typed and passed
|
||||
return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: String(args.a + args.b) }] };
|
||||
}
|
||||
);
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #5: CORS Misconfiguration
|
||||
**Error**: Browser clients can't connect to MCP server
|
||||
**Source**: Common production issue
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Missing CORS headers for HTTP transport
|
||||
**Prevention**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { cors } from 'hono/cors';
|
||||
|
||||
app.use('/mcp', cors({
|
||||
origin: ['http://localhost:3000', 'https://your-app.com'],
|
||||
allowMethods: ['POST', 'OPTIONS'],
|
||||
allowHeaders: ['Content-Type', 'Authorization']
|
||||
}));
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #6: Missing Rate Limiting
|
||||
**Error**: API abuse, DDoS vulnerability
|
||||
**Source**: Production security best practice
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: No rate limiting on MCP endpoints
|
||||
**Prevention**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
app.post('/mcp', async (c) => {
|
||||
const ip = c.req.header('CF-Connecting-IP');
|
||||
const rateLimitKey = `ratelimit:${ip}`;
|
||||
|
||||
const count = await c.env.CACHE.get(rateLimitKey);
|
||||
if (count && parseInt(count) > 100) {
|
||||
return c.json({ error: 'Rate limit exceeded' }, 429);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
await c.env.CACHE.put(
|
||||
rateLimitKey,
|
||||
String((parseInt(count || '0') + 1)),
|
||||
{ expirationTtl: 60 }
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
// Continue...
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #7: TypeScript Compilation Memory Issues
|
||||
**Error**: `Out of memory` during `tsc` build
|
||||
**Source**: GitHub modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk#985
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Large dependency tree in MCP SDK
|
||||
**Prevention**:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Add to package.json scripts
|
||||
"build": "NODE_OPTIONS='--max-old-space-size=4096' tsc && vite build"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #8: UriTemplate ReDoS Vulnerability
|
||||
**Error**: Server hangs on malicious URI patterns
|
||||
**Source**: GitHub modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk#965 (Security)
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Regex denial-of-service in URI template parsing
|
||||
**Prevention**: Update to SDK v1.20.2 or later (includes fix)
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #9: Authentication Bypass
|
||||
**Error**: Unauthenticated access to MCP tools
|
||||
**Source**: Production security best practice
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Missing or improperly implemented authentication
|
||||
**Prevention**: Always implement authentication for production servers (see Authentication Patterns section)
|
||||
|
||||
### Issue #10: Environment Variable Leakage
|
||||
**Error**: Secrets exposed in error messages or logs
|
||||
**Source**: Cloudflare Workers security best practice
|
||||
**Why It Happens**: Environment variables logged or returned in responses
|
||||
**Prevention**:
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
// ❌ WRONG - Exposes secrets
|
||||
console.log('Env:', JSON.stringify(env));
|
||||
|
||||
// ✅ CORRECT - Never log env objects
|
||||
try {
|
||||
// ... use env.SECRET_KEY
|
||||
} catch (error) {
|
||||
// Don't include env in error context
|
||||
console.error('Operation failed:', error.message);
|
||||
}
|
||||
```

|
||||
## 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.
|
||||

|
||||
## Using Bundled Resources
|
||||
|
||||
### Templates (templates/)
|
||||
|
||||
All templates are production-ready and tested on Cloudflare Workers:
|
||||
|
||||
- `templates/basic-mcp-server.ts` - Minimal working server (echo tool example)
|
||||
- `templates/tool-server.ts` - Multiple tools implementation (API integrations, calculations)
|
||||
- `templates/resource-server.ts` - Resource-only server (static and dynamic resources)
|
||||
- `templates/full-server.ts` - Complete server (tools + resources + prompts)
|
||||
- `templates/authenticated-server.ts` - Production server with API key authentication
|
||||
- `templates/wrangler.jsonc` - Cloudflare Workers configuration with all bindings
|
||||
|
||||
**When Claude should use these**: When creating a new MCP server, copy the appropriate template based on the use case (tools-only, resources-only, authenticated, or full-featured).
|
||||
|
||||
### Reference Guides (references/)
|
||||
|
||||
Comprehensive documentation for advanced topics:
|
||||
|
||||
- `references/tool-patterns.md` - Common tool implementation patterns (API wrappers, database queries, calculations, file operations)
|
||||
- `references/authentication-guide.md` - All authentication methods detailed (API keys, OAuth 2.0, Zero Trust, JWT)
|
||||
- `references/testing-guide.md` - Unit testing, integration testing with MCP Inspector, E2E testing with Claude Agent SDK
|
||||
- `references/deployment-guide.md` - Wrangler workflows, environment management, CI/CD with GitHub Actions
|
||||
- `references/cloudflare-integration.md` - Using D1, KV, R2, Vectorize, Workers AI, Queues, Durable Objects
|
||||
- `references/common-errors.md` - All 10+ errors with detailed solutions, root causes, and prevention strategies
|
||||
- `references/cloudflare-agents-vs-standalone.md` - Decision matrix for choosing between standalone MCP and Cloudflare Agents SDK
|
||||
|
||||
**When Claude should load these**: When developer needs advanced implementation details, debugging help, or architectural guidance.
|
||||
|
||||
### Scripts (scripts/)
|
||||
|
||||
Automation scripts for initializing and testing MCP servers:
|
||||
|
||||
- `scripts/init-mcp-server.sh` - Initializes new MCP server project with dependencies, wrangler config, and template selection
|
||||
- `scripts/test-mcp-connection.sh` - Tests MCP server connectivity and validates tool/resource endpoints
|
||||
|
||||
**When Claude should use these**: When setting up a new project or debugging connectivity issues.

## Critical Rules
|
||||
|
||||
### Always Do
|
||||
|
||||
✅ Close transport on response end to prevent memory leaks
|
||||
✅ Use direct export syntax (`export default app`) not object wrapper
|
||||
✅ Implement authentication for production servers
|
||||
✅ Add rate limiting to prevent API abuse
|
||||
✅ Use Zod schemas for type-safe tool definitions
|
||||
✅ Test with MCP Inspector before deploying to production
|
||||
✅ Update to SDK v1.20.2+ for security fixes
|
||||
✅ Document all tools with clear descriptions
|
||||
✅ Handle errors gracefully and return meaningful messages
|
||||
✅ Use environment variables for secrets (never hardcode)
|
||||
|
||||
### Never Do
|
||||
|
||||
❌ Export with object wrapper (`export default { fetch: app.fetch }`)
|
||||
❌ Forget to close StreamableHTTPServerTransport
|
||||
❌ Deploy without authentication in production
|
||||
❌ Log environment variables or secrets
|
||||
❌ Use CommonJS format (must use ES modules)
|
||||
❌ Skip CORS configuration for browser clients
|
||||
❌ Hardcode API keys or credentials
|
||||
❌ Return raw error objects (may leak sensitive data)
|
||||
❌ Deploy without testing tools/resources locally
|
||||
❌ Use outdated SDK versions with known vulnerabilities
|
||||
|
