# Cloudflare

Cloudflare is the cloud platform Cole standardizes on for hosting [remote MCP servers](../../concepts/remote-mcp-server.md), and by extension the deployment target baked into a specialized [PRP Framework](../../concepts/prp-framework.md) template. Its role in the context-engineering walkthrough is not incidental: the whole template exists because a working Cloudflare deployment already existed to generalize from. "we actually took the productionready Cloudflare MCP server I showed in the last video on my channel and we built a template around it" ([0:02:28]). That is [Docs and Templates as Coding-Assistant Context](../../concepts/docs-as-agent-context.md) in practice, where a proven reference implementation becomes the curated codebase intelligence an agent needs to one-shot the next one.

Two Cloudflare surfaces do the work. Workers is the serverless runtime the [MCP](../tools/mcp.md) server runs on, which is why [TypeScript](../tools/typescript.md) is the go-to language for these builds and why OAuth-gated access ([MCP Authentication with OAuth](../../concepts/mcp-oauth.md)) and remote [MCP transports](../../concepts/mcp-transports.md) come up together: a server on a public URL needs an authentication gateway in front of it. Wrangler is the CLI that ties local development to that runtime, and it is the command the generated PRP ends at: "now we can use Wrangler, the Cloudflare CLI, to run our MCP" ([0:34:35]). Having a single deterministic deploy command matters, because it gives the [Validation](../../concepts/validation.md) gate at the end of the PRP something concrete to run.

The broader point is that a narrow, opinionated stack makes [Context Engineering](../../concepts/context-engineering.md) far easier. Because the template fixes the platform, the runtime, and the language up front, the agent is not guessing at deployment shape while it also designs tools, and Cole can [build his own MCP server](../../concepts/build-your-own-mcp-server.md) with 18 working tools in essentially two passes. Cloudflare fills the same slot for MCP work that [Vercel](./vercel.md) fills for front ends: the default place things get deployed.

## Works with

- [MCP (Model Context Protocol)](../tools/mcp.md) - The protocol whose servers are deployed to Cloudflare Workers in this workflow.
- [TypeScript](../tools/typescript.md) - The go-to language for building MCP servers, especially remote ones deployed to Cloudflare.

## Contrasts with

- [Vercel](./vercel.md) - Cole's default deploy target for front ends and Next.js apps; Cloudflare plays the same default-host role for remote MCP servers.
