  • Quickly prototype and deploy API-based MCP servers to Cloudflare Workers
  • Convert existing API functionality into MCP tools using TypeScript functions

filesystem · Use cases

  • Enable AI models to read and write project files during development
  • Allow Claude or other MCP clients to browse and analyze codebases
  • Provide secure sandboxed access to specific directories for content generation

create-mcp · Install

Installation
