Detailed Protocol & Header Specifications

1. Request Headers Forwarded to Cloudflare MCP Portal

When proxying /mcp requests, the bridge filters out hop-by-hop headers (Host, Connection, Transfer-Encoding, etc.) and forwards:

• CF-Access-Client-Id: Injected from CF_ACCESS_CLIENT_ID env var.

• CF-Access-Client-Secret: Injected from CF_ACCESS_CLIENT_SECRET env var.

• Mcp-Session-Id / mcp-session-id: Forwarded if present for session continuity.

• Accept: Set to application/json, text/event-stream to support both JSON-RPC and SSE streaming.

• Content-Type: Defaults to application/json.

• User-Agent & custom x-* / mcp-* headers: Preserved.

2. Response Headers Returned to Gemini Enterprise

• Content-Type: Preserves original content type (e.g., application/json or text/event-stream).

• Mcp-Session-Id: Preserved and exposed for client session tracking.

• WWW-Authenticate: Preserved for 401 challenges.

• CORS Expose-Headers: Configured for Mcp-Session-Id, mcp-version, CF-Access-Client-Id, CF-Access-Client-Secret, Authorization, and WWW-Authenticate.

3. Real-Time Streaming Support

The /mcp proxy uses httpx async stream generators and FastAPI StreamingResponse to deliver SSE event streams and chunked JSON-RPC responses in real-time without buffering.

4. OAuth 2.0 & DCR Compliance

• Supports client_secret_post (JSON/form parameters) and client_secret_basic (Authorization: Basic <base64> header).

• Guarantees refresh_token, expires_in, and token_type: "Bearer" in response JSON.

• Provides /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server and /.well-known/mcp-configuration discovery metadata.

Target GCP Specifications

• GCP Project: {YOUR_GCP_PROJECT_ID} (Configurable via GCP_PROJECT_ID env var)

• Cloud Run Service: cloudflare-mcp-dcr-bridge (Region: us-central1)

Prerequisites

1. Google Cloud SDK (gcloud CLI) installed and authenticated:

   gcloud auth login
   gcloud config set project <YOUR_PROJECT_ID>

2. Cloudflare Zero Trust MCP Portal setup:

   • Navigate to Cloudflare Dashboard -> Zero Trust -> Access controls -> AI controls -> MCP Portals.

   • Copy your MCP Portal URL (e.g., https://<portal-name>.<team-domain>.cloudflareaccess.com/mcp or custom domain).

3. Cloudflare Access Service Token (for machine-to-machine authentication):

   • Go to Zero Trust -> Access -> Service Tokens.

   • Click Add a Service Token, name it gemini-enterprise-mcp-bridge, and copy the Client ID and Client Secret.

   • Ensure a Service Auth policy is added to both the MCP Portal Access App and all downstream linked MCP servers.

Environment Setup (.env)

Copy .env.example to .env and fill in your GCP Project ID, Cloudflare MCP Portal URL, and Cloudflare Access Service Token credentials:

cp .env.example .env

.env configuration example:

# GCP Configuration

GCP_REGION=us-central1
SERVICE_NAME=cloudflare-mcp-dcr-bridge

# Cloudflare MCP Portal Configuration
CLOUDFLARE_MCP_PORTAL_URL=https://my-portal.my-team.cloudflareaccess.com/mcp

CF_ACCESS_CLIENT_SECRET=abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890

# Optional Bridge Secret for DCR Token Validation
BRIDGE_SECRET=cloudflare-mcp-dcr-secret

Quick Deployment Command

chmod +x deploy.sh
./deploy.sh

or deploy directly via gcloud:

gcloud builds submit --tag us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/{YOUR_GCP_PROJECT_ID}/cloud-run-source-deploy/cloudflare-mcp-dcr-bridge:latest
gcloud run deploy cloudflare-mcp-dcr-bridge \
  --image us-central1-docker.pkg.dev/{YOUR_GCP_PROJECT_ID}/cloud-run-source-deploy/cloudflare-mcp-dcr-bridge:latest \
  --region us-central1 \
  --project {YOUR_GCP_PROJECT_ID} \
  --allow-unauthenticated \
  --set-env-vars "CLOUDFLARE_MCP_PORTAL_URL=https://my-portal.my-team.cloudflareaccess.com/mcp,CF_ACCESS_CLIENT_ID={CLIENT_ID},CF_ACCESS_CLIENT_SECRET={CLIENT_SECRET}"

How to Register / Generate Client ID for Gemini Enterprise

Option A: Automatically via Gemini Enterprise DCR

When configuring the Extension / Data Store in Gemini Enterprise, enter the Registration URL (https://{YOUR_CLOUD_RUN_SERVICE_URL}/register). Gemini Enterprise will automatically execute /register and populate the Client ID and Secret fields behind the scenes!

Option B: Via curl Command in Terminal (Manual)

Run this request to retrieve or generate a Client ID and Secret directly:

curl -X POST https://{YOUR_CLOUD_RUN_SERVICE_URL}/register \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "client_name": "Gemini Enterprise App",
    "redirect_uris": ["https://cloudaicompanions.google.com/oauth/callback"]
  }'

JSON Output Example:

{
  "client_id": "cf-dcr-a1b2c3d4e5f67890",
  "client_secret": "cloudflare-mcp-dcr-secret-0123456789abcdef",
  "client_name": "Gemini Enterprise App",
  "grant_types": ["authorization_code", "refresh_token"],
  "response_types": ["code"],
  "scope": "mcp:read offline_access"
}

Connecting to Gemini Enterprise

1. Open Google Cloud Console -> Gemini Enterprise (or Agent Space / Discovery Engine).

2. Go to Connected data stores -> + New data store -> Add MCP server and enter these parameters:

3. After saving the Connected data store, click Actions and select Reload custom actions.

4. Gemini Enterprise can now invoke tools provided by your Cloudflare MCP Server Portal!
