Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@toolhive-mcpsearch for recent articles on quantum computing"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
Toolhive MCP
Toolhive MCP is a hosted HTTP MCP server for Cloudflare Workers. It turns a practical bundle of MCP tools into one remote /mcp endpoint so you can connect Claude-compatible clients without running a local stdio server.
What this project is
Use Toolhive MCP when you want:
one public MCP endpoint instead of a local daemon
Cloudflare Workers deployment with low operational overhead
Anthropic-compatible canonical tool names such as
context7_query_docsandtavily_searcha manifest-driven tool surface that stays aligned with the actual server implementation
Online demo
Copy this demo endpoint directly into your MCP client:
https://mcp.awsl.app/mcp?key=elysia
Additional public endpoints:
Health:
https://mcp.awsl.app/healthzReady:
https://mcp.awsl.app/readyzVersion:
https://mcp.awsl.app/version
Quick client setup
All examples below use the live demo endpoint:
https://mcp.awsl.app/mcp?key=elysia
Claude
Add a remote MCP server in Claude and use:
URL:
https://mcp.awsl.app/mcp?key=elysiaTransport: Streamable HTTP / HTTP MCP
If your Claude build asks for headers instead of a full URL with query params, use https://mcp.awsl.app/mcp and send one of the supported auth options from the next section.
Cursor
In Cursor MCP settings, add a remote server pointing to:
{
"mcpServers": {
"toolhive-mcp": {
"url": "https://mcp.awsl.app/mcp?key=elysia"
}
}
}Cline
In Cline's MCP server configuration, add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"toolhive-mcp": {
"url": "https://mcp.awsl.app/mcp?key=elysia"
}
}
}Cherry Studio
In Cherry Studio, create a custom MCP server with:
Name:
toolhive-mcpType: Remote / HTTP MCP
URL:
https://mcp.awsl.app/mcp?key=elysia
Codex
For Codex clients that accept remote MCP configuration, use:
{
"mcp_servers": {
"toolhive-mcp": {
"url": "https://mcp.awsl.app/mcp?key=elysia"
}
}
}Supported authentication
Toolhive MCP currently supports these authentication styles:
Bearer
x-api-key / API key
query
key
Examples:
Authorization: Bearer elysiax-api-key: elysiahttps://mcp.awsl.app/mcp?key=elysiaThis release uses only Bearer, x-api-key / API key, or query key authentication.
Self-hosting
For your own deployment, point clients to:
MCP:
https://<your-worker-domain>/mcpHealth:
https://<your-worker-domain>/healthzReady:
https://<your-worker-domain>/readyzVersion:
https://<your-worker-domain>/version
Deploy to Cloudflare Workers
Repository: https://github.com/DoingDog/toolhive-mcp
Manual deployment:
npm install
npm run deployThe project uses the repository's existing wrangler.jsonc configuration.
Optional third-party secrets
Only configure the providers you want to expose:
npx wrangler secret put MCP_AUTH_KEYS
npx wrangler secret put TAVILY_API_KEYS
npx wrangler secret put CONTEXT7_API_KEYS
npx wrangler secret put EXA_API_KEYS
npx wrangler secret put UNSPLASH_ACCESS_KEYS
npx wrangler secret put PUREMD_API_KEYS
npx wrangler secret put PAPER_SEARCH_MCP_UNPAYWALL_EMAILSKey notes:
MCP_AUTH_KEYSenables auth checks for protected/mcpmethods only after you configure it.MCP_AUTH_KEYSaccepts one key or a comma-separated list of keys. Valid characters are letters, numbers,_, and-.PAPER_SEARCH_MCP_UNPAYWALL_EMAILSis used for Unpaywall access and thepaper_get_open_accesstool.PAPER_SEARCH_MCP_UNPAYWALL_EMAILSaccepts one email or a comma-separated list of emails.Provider key secrets can contain one key or a comma-separated list of keys.
