Cloudflare Powers Enterprise Access to Claude AI with MCP Server Toolkit

Cloudflare is enabling a new class of AI-powered enterprise applications by providing the infrastructure for companies to connect securely and seamlessly to Claude, Anthropic’s conversational AI assistant. Through Cloudflare Workers and support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), leading software vendors including Stripe, PayPal, Asana, and Atlassian are making their platforms accessible via Claude.

Until recently, MCP servers had to be run locally, limiting their reach and usability. Cloudflare now supports remote MCP server deployment, removing that barrier and expanding access to web-based tools and services. Developers can now build and deploy remote MCP servers with built-in support for:

workers-oauth-provider: Simplifies OAuth-based authorization

McpAgent: Handles transport for remote connections in the Cloudflare Agents SDK

mcp-remote: Adapts local MCP clients for remote use

AI Playground: Provides a chat UI for interacting with remote MCP servers

This shift brings MCP into the mainstream, enabling AI agents to function seamlessly across browsers, mobile apps, and shared environments—no local setup required.

At the core of these integrations are MCP servers—gateways that allow AI agents to access tools like CRMs, project management platforms, and payment processors. Cloudflare provides the only end-to-end toolkit for building these servers securely and efficiently, with support for authentication, permission enforcement, and data visibility—key requirements for scalable AI experiences.

Leading vendors have already begun using Cloudflare to deploy their MCP servers, allowing users to manage projects, process payments, and resolve issues—all by interacting with Claude. Square, for example, has made its APIs accessible to Claude, enabling automated commerce workflows for small businesses. Tools like Sentry and Linear have embedded Claude into developer environments to reduce context switching and streamline issue resolution.

Cloudflare is also rolling out its own MCP servers, allowing Claude to interface directly with its performance, security, and observability tools. Developers can now use conversational prompts to analyze logs, debug infrastructure, and manage deployments—all within Cloudflare’s ecosystem.

Opportunity for Channel Partners

Cloudflare’s support for remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) and integration with Anthropic’s Claude opens a new path for channel partners to build AI agent-based services without needing to manage heavy infrastructure. By simplifying the deployment of remote MCP servers through tools like Cloudflare Workers, mcp-remote, and a built-in OAuth provider, partners can quickly connect AI agents to third-party SaaS platforms. This reduces the technical barriers for MSPs, ISVs, and resellers who want to build intelligent, context-aware services that interact with applications on behalf of users.

Cloudflare is giving partners a framework to deliver AI-powered SaaS integrations, conversational interfaces, or automated workflows across industries. For enterprise clients, this means more intuitive, task-oriented solutions without toggling between tools. For partners, it’s a chance to offer differentiated services, reduce time-to-market, and create scalable offerings that plug directly into Claude's capabilities via a secure, cloud-native environment.
