Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server + Google OAuth

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that supports remote MCP connections, with Google OAuth built-in.

You can deploy it to your own Cloudflare account, and after you create your own Google Cloud OAuth client app, you'll have a fully functional remote MCP server that you can build off. Users will be able to connect to your MCP server by signing in with their Google account.

You can use this as a reference example for how to integrate other OAuth providers with an MCP server deployed to Cloudflare, using the workers-oauth-provider.

The MCP server (powered by Cloudflare Workers):

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Install wrangler (globally):

Google Cloud Console Settings

Create an OAuth app with client ID and client secret:

• Add http://localhost:8788/callback as the redirect URL

Cloudflare Settings

Create KV Cache Database

Create a KV cache DB and note down its ID. Add the following keys:

• GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID

• GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET

• COOKIE_ENCRYPTION_KEY

You can use openssl to generate a 32-byte random value as COOKIE_ENCRYPTION_KEY:

Create D1 Database

Create a D1 database with name sql_employees and note down its ID. Import data using simple_import_employees.sql:

To Make the Current Repo Work

Step 1: Install dependencies

Step 2: Modify wrangler.jsonc

• Replace <ADD-KV-ID> with your KV ID

• Replace <ADD-D1-ID> with your D1 ID

Step 3: Prepare KV in your local space

Step 4: Run locally

The local MCP server should be up on port 8788. You can test it now on Postman.

Step 5: Deploy to production

After a while you should see it at the Cloudflare platform. Note down its URL: <remote-mcp-url>

Step 6: Update Google Cloud Console Go to your Google Cloud Console again and add the following to the redirect URL list:

• https://<remote-mcp-url>/callback

Now you should be able to use the remote MCP server as well!

To Follow My Video and Start Everything From Scratch

You can start building it with command:

Note: This is slow and takes some time.

Access the Remote MCP Server from Claude Desktop

Open Claude Desktop and navigate to Settings -> Developer -> Edit Config. This opens the configuration file that controls which MCP servers Claude can access.

Replace the content with the following configuration. Once you restart Claude Desktop, a browser window will open showing your OAuth login page. Complete the authentication flow to grant Claude access to your MCP server. After you grant access, the tools will become available for you to use.

Once the Tools (under 🔨) show up in the interface, you can ask Claude to use them. For example: "Could you list all tables in the database?" or "Show me the employees table schema". Claude should invoke the tool and show the result generated by the MCP server.

Testing with MCP Inspector

Test the remote server using Inspector:

Enter your server URL and hit connect:

• Local: http://localhost:8788/mcp

• Remote: https://<your-remote-mcp-url>/mcp

Once you go through the authentication flow, you'll see the database tools available.

Using Cursor and Other MCP Clients

To connect Cursor with your MCP server, choose Type: "Command" and in the Command field, combine the command and args fields into one (e.g. npx mcp-remote https://<your-worker-name>.<your-subdomain>.workers.dev/mcp).

Note that while Cursor supports HTTP+SSE servers, it doesn't support authentication, so you still need to use mcp-remote (and to use a STDIO server, not an HTTP one).

You can connect your MCP server to other MCP clients like Windsurf by opening the client's configuration file, adding the same JSON that was used for the Claude setup, and restarting the MCP client.

How does it work?

OAuth Provider

The OAuth Provider library serves as a complete OAuth 2.1 server implementation for Cloudflare Workers. It handles the complexities of the OAuth flow, including token issuance, validation, and management. In this project, it plays the dual role of:

• Authenticating MCP clients that connect to your server

• Managing the connection to Google Cloud's OAuth services

• Securely storing tokens and authentication state in KV storage

Durable MCP

Durable MCP extends the base MCP functionality with Cloudflare's Durable Objects, providing:

• Persistent state management for your MCP server

• Secure storage of authentication context between requests

• Access to authenticated user information via this.props

• Support for conditional tool availability based on user identity

MCP Remote

The MCP Remote library enables your server to expose tools that can be invoked by MCP clients like the Inspector. It:

• Defines the protocol for communication between clients and your server

• Provides a structured way to define tools

• Handles serialization and deserialization of requests and responses

• Supports both Streamable HTTP (recommended) and Server-Sent Events (SSE) protocols for client communication

Transport Protocol Migration

This example has been updated to support the new Streamable HTTP transport protocol, which replaces the deprecated Server-Sent Events (SSE) protocol. The server now exposes both endpoints:

• /mcp - Recommended: Uses the new Streamable HTTP protocol

• /sse - Deprecated: Legacy SSE protocol (maintained for backward compatibility)

All new integrations should use the /mcp endpoint. The SSE endpoint will be removed in a future version.
