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.
House Rails MCP
House Rails MCP is a public-safe coordination boundary for a house worker that can ride named rails between local house services, Cloudflare, and model families such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Perplexity, xAI, and Cursor.
The first release is deliberately read-only. It exposes an MCP server over Cloudflare Workers Streamable HTTP and provides tools for:
describing the public capability manifest;
running a deterministic arrival check;
previewing a route without contacting a provider;
checking the local tree for common private material before publication.
Provider adapters, credentials, private destinations, and execution permissions belong in the in-house layer. They are not part of this public repository.
Run locally
Requires Node.js 20 or newer.
npm install
npm run check
npm run devThe local endpoint is usually http://localhost:8788/mcp. Use the MCP Inspector or any client that supports Streamable HTTP.
Deploy to Cloudflare
Authenticate Wrangler with the Cloudflare account that owns the Worker, then deploy:
npx wrangler login
npm run deployThe deployed endpoint is:
https://<worker-name>.<account-subdomain>.workers.dev/mcpThe initial server is intentionally authless because its tools do not read account data, call providers, or mutate external systems. Add Cloudflare Access or OAuth before adding any tool that reads private state or executes a route. Cloudflare's remote MCP guide describes the supported authentication paths.
MCP tools
house_manifest returns the public protocol, destination families, and privacy posture.
house_arrival_check checks whether a requested set of rails is represented in the public manifest. It reports configuration and authentication as deferred until the in-house layer supplies them.
house_route_preview turns a task and destination into a reviewable route plan. Preview mode is the only mode enabled in this public release; execute requests return a blocked plan with the next in-house step.
Client configuration
For a client that supports remote MCP URLs, use the deployed /mcp endpoint. For a local-only client, mcp-remote can bridge the same endpoint:
{
"mcpServers": {
"house-rails": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-remote", "https://<worker-name>.<account-subdomain>.workers.dev/mcp"]
}
}
}Public release boundary
Before publishing, run:
npm run arrival:check
npm run scan:publicThe scanner blocks private key material, token-shaped values, local user paths, and identity-shaped IDs. Keep real credentials in Wrangler secrets or the in-house deployment environment. Do not add .env, .dev.vars, account identifiers, custom domains, or private adapter code to this tree.
