api-workers

A guide for deploying an MCP server on Cloudflare Workers, a platform that runs code at Cloudflare's edge locations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement the createWorkerHandler entry point, configure Cloudflare bindings and runtime checks, and set the required wrangler.toml settings.
Why use it?
It explains how the server connects its tools, resources, prompts, services, environment values, storage, and scheduled jobs to the Workers runtime.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

api-workers scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 318 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/worker exports createWorkerHandler — the Workers entry point. It wraps tool/resource/prompt registries into a per-request McpServer factory that integrates with the Cloudflare Workers runtime.


createWorkerHandler(options)

import { createWorkerHandler } from '@cyanheads/mcp-ts-core/worker';
import { echoTool } from './mcp-server/tools/definitions/echo.tool.js';
import { echoResource } from './mcp-server/resources/definitions/echo.resource.js';
import { echoPrompt } from './mcp-server/prompts/definitions/echo.prompt.js';
import { initMyService } from './services/my-domain/my-service.js';

export default createWorkerHandler({
  tools: [echoTool],
  resources: [echoResource],
  prompts: [echoPrompt],
  setup(core) {
    initMyService(core.config, core.storage);
  },
  extraEnvBindings: [['MY_API_KEY', 'MY_API_KEY']],
  extraObjectBindings: [['MY_CUSTOM_KV', 'MY_CUSTOM_KV']],
  onScheduled: async (controller, env, ctx) => {
    // Cloudflare cron trigger handler
  },
});

Fresh scaffolds register definitions directly in the entry point as shown above. If your project later adds barrel files for definitions, importing arrays from those barrels is also fine.

Options

Option Type Purpose
tools AnyToolDefinition[] Tool definitions to register
resources AnyResourceDefinition[] Resource definitions to register
prompts PromptDefinition[] Prompt definitions to register
extensions Record<string, object> SEP-2133 extensions to advertise in server capabilities
instructions string | (env: CloudflareBindings) => string Server-level orientation forwarded to the model on every initialize. Resolver form runs inside initializeApp(env) so env-derived text is available (see Workers-specific warnings). Empty string treated as unset.
setup (core: CoreServices) => void | Promise<void> Runs after core services are ready, during the first request (lazy init inside the fetch handler)
extraEnvBindings [bindingKey: string, processEnvKey: string][] Maps CF string bindings to process.env keys
extraObjectBindings [bindingKey: string, globalKey: string][] Maps CF object bindings (KV, R2, D1, AI) to globalThis keys
onScheduled (controller, env, ctx) => Promise<void> Cloudflare cron trigger handler

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

api-workers is a skill published in the GitHub repository cyanheads/reference-data-mcp-server (1 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 3,537 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 100% identical to api-workers, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
