Use as local MCP server

Run the Cloud Run MCP server on your local machine using local Google Cloud credentials. This is best if you are using an AI-assisted IDE (e.g. Cursor) or a desktop AI application (e.g. Claude).

1. Install Node.js (LTS version recommended).

2. Install the Google Cloud SDK and authenticate with your Google account.

3. Log in to your Google Cloud account using the command:

   gcloud auth login

4. Set up application credentials using the command:

   gcloud auth application-default login

5. Update the MCP configuration file of your MCP client with the following:

      "cloud-run": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-run-mcp"]
      }

Use as remote MCP server

Run the Cloud Run MCP server itself on Cloud Run with connection from your local machine authenticated via IAM. With this option, you will only be able to deploy code to the same Google Cloud project as where the MCP server is running.

1. Install the Google Cloud SDK and authenticate with your Google account.

2. Log in to your Google Cloud account using the command:

   gcloud auth login

3. Set your Google Cloud project ID using the command:

   gcloud config set project YOUR_PROJECT_ID

4. Deploy the Cloud Run MCP server to Cloud Run:

   gcloud run deploy cloud-run-mcp --image us-docker.pkg.dev/cloudrun/container/mcp --no-allow-unauthenticated

   When prompted, pick a region, for example europe-west1.

   Note that the MCP server is not publicly accessible, it requires authentication via IAM.

5. Run a Cloud Run proxy on your local machine to connect securely using your identity to the remote MCP server running on Cloud Run:

   gcloud run services proxy cloud-run-mcp --port=3000 --region=REGION --project=PROJECT_ID

   This will create a local proxy on port 3000 that forwards requests to the remote MCP server and injects your identity.

6. Update the MCP configuration file of your MCP client with the following:

      "cloud-run": {
        "url": "http://localhost:3000/sse"
      }
   

   If your MCP client does not support the url attribute, you can use mcp-remote:

      "cloud-run": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "http://localhost:3000/sse"]
      }
