How Cloudflare detects MCP traffic and helps secure it

Cloudflare Gateway identifies MCP requests using protocol-level heuristics. Security teams can use that signal to find shadow MCP traffic, enforce Portal-only access for approved servers, and block direct connections on managed network paths.

The next generation of MCP

The next version of MCP has a rewritten, stateless core that just works on Workers. We cover upgrades to the protocol, the new feature lifecycle and SDK migration path, and hear from early adopters already running it in production.

Give any website a WebMCP interface

Today we're launching a developer preview of WebMCP on Cloudflare. With one switch, any site becomes usable by browser AI agents — no new APIs, no origin changes — while the human stays in control and creators keep their traffic.

WriteGuard: fine-grained controls for MCP Servers

At Cloudflare, we knew we could not depend on every employee to configure every agent perfectly or watch every tool call. Before expanding write access across our own internal MCP servers, we built WriteGuard. We are now bringing those controls to Cloudflare MCP server portals through a private beta.

Sandboxing AI agents, 100x faster

We’re introducing Dynamic Workers, which allow you to execute AI-generated code in secure, lightweight isolates. This approach is 100 times faster than traditional containers, enabling millisecond startup times for AI agent sandboxing.
