listing.about

Gives an assistant a temporary sandbox container where it can run arbitrary code such as Node or Python, execute shell commands, and read, write, list and delete files in the working directory. Containers are ephemeral and keep no state; they are only guaranteed to last about 10 minutes.

Runs as a hosted remote server at https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp using streamable HTTP. Sign in with your Cloudflare account through the OAuth flow in your browser when the client prompts. No local install is needed. The project is still a work in progress and more tools are planned.

listing.can

  • Start or restart an ephemeral sandbox container
  • Run shell commands inside the container
  • Write, read and delete files in the container
  • List files in the work directory
  • Check container connectivity
  • Run Node or Python code in an isolated environment

listing.tools

listing.notools.oauth

listing.prompts

  • Create a visualization with matplotlib and run it in the container.

  • Clone this GitHub repo in the sandbox and run its tests.

  • Analyze this CSV data using Python in the container.

  • List the files in the container work directory.

Claude Code

  1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:
claude mcp add --transport http cloudflare-containers https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp
  1. Start Claude Code, type /mcp, pick cloudflare-containers and choose Authenticate. A browser window opens for the Cloudflare sign-in.

Add --scope user to make it available in every project, not just this one.

Claude Desktop

  1. Open Settings → Connectors and click Add custom connector.
  2. Name it Cloudflare Containers and paste this URL:
https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp
  1. Click Add, then Connect, and sign in when Cloudflare asks.

Claude Desktop's JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

claude.ai

  1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:
  1. Check that the URL reads https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp and click Add.
  2. Click Connect and sign in when Cloudflare asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under Organization settings → Connectors.

ChatGPT

  1. On chatgpt.com, open Settings → Security and login and turn on Developer mode.
  2. Go to chatgpt.com/plugins and click + to create an app for a remote MCP server.
  3. Paste https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp as the server URL and choose OAuth. ChatGPT sends you to Cloudflare to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

Cursor

Or add it by hand to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (this project):

mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudflare-containers": {
      "url": "https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Cursor shows Needs login next to the server. Click it to sign in.

VS Code

Or from a terminal:

code --add-mcp '{"name":"cloudflare-containers","type":"http","url":"https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp"}'

Or commit it to the repo in .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "cloudflare-containers": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

Devin Desktop

  1. Add it to ~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json (macOS and Linux) or %APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json (Windows):
mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudflare-containers": {
      "serverUrl": "https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads serverUrl (or url) for remote servers.

Codex

codex mcp add cloudflare-containers --url https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp
codex mcp login cloudflare-containers

Or edit ~/.codex/config.toml directly:

config.toml
[mcp_servers.cloudflare-containers]
url = "https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp"

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add --transport http cloudflare-containers https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth cloudflare-containers to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add -s user to use it everywhere.

Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: serverUrl in Devin Desktop, httpUrl in Gemini CLI's settings file.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudflare-containers": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Zed puts servers under context_servers in its settings. Cline needs "type": "streamableHttp", or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with npx -y mcp-remote https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp.

listing.faq

Can I paste mcp.tc/i/cloudflare-containers into my MCP client?

No. mcp.tc links are pages, not server addresses. Connect with https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp, so your client talks to Cloudflare Containers directly. The sign-in token only works there anyway. The quick link is for sharing: it opens this page, with setup steps for every client.

Does Cloudflare Containers need an API key or a sign-in?

Yes, you need a Cloudflare account. The first time your client connects, it opens Cloudflare's sign-in page. The token goes straight to the server's own URL, never through mcp.tc.

Is Cloudflare Containers a remote or a local server?

Remote. Cloudflare hosts it at https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp, and it speaks Streamable HTTP. There's nothing to install.

What can Cloudflare Containers do?

You can start or restart an ephemeral sandbox container, run shell commands inside the container and write, read and delete files in the container.

Which clients can use it?

Any client that supports remote MCP servers: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, claude.ai, ChatGPT in developer mode, Cursor, VS Code, Devin Desktop, Codex, Gemini CLI, Zed and others. The setup steps cover each one.

Who wrote this page?

mcp.tc's robot read Cloudflare Containers's own metadata (its MCP handshake, tool list and public pages), and an AI model drafted the text from it. A person reviews anything the checks can't confirm. The text can still be wrong, so if you spot a mistake, use Report this listing on this page.
