Minimal MCP server on Cloudflare Workers

A stateless MCP server using the MCP SDK directly, without the Agents SDK. One factory and one handler serve Stateless clients and Legacy compatibility requests.

import { McpServer, createMcpHandler } from "@modelcontextprotocol/server";
import { z } from "zod";

function createServer() {
  const server = new McpServer({
    name: "hello-server",
    version: "1.0.0"
  });

  server.registerTool(
    "hello",
    {
      description: "Returns a greeting",
      inputSchema: z.object({ name: z.string().optional() })
    },
    async ({ name }) => ({
      content: [{ type: "text", text: `Hello, ${name ?? "World"}!` }]
    })
  );

  return server;
}

export default createMcpHandler(createServer);

createMcpHandler creates a fresh server for every request. Its default legacy: "stateless" behavior provides 2025 wire compatibility without sessions, Durable Objects, storage, or a second tool definition.

Run

npm install
npm run dev

Connect an MCP client or the MCP Inspector to http://localhost:8787/mcp.

Use createMcpHandler(createServer, { legacy: "reject" }) instead if the endpoint should accept only MCP 2026-07-28.
