Hey everyone! I'm diving into setting up remote MCP servers for Claude.ai integrations, but I'm hitting some bumps along the way. I've been using several MCP servers locally with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Claude Code, like sequential-thinking, git, GitHub, and browser automation with Playwright. Currently, I'm leveraging tools through Zapier and Composio, but I'd really like to implement my own integrations to customize things further. My main goals are self-hosted MCP servers focused on code execution, browser automation, and Git operations, among others.
The challenge? Deploying these via Cloudflare Workers has turned out to be trickier than I anticipated, mainly due to Anthropic's documentation not being the best.
So, I have a few specific questions:
1. Are there any template repositories for remote servers like FastMCP?
2. Has anyone successfully converted MCP servers accessible via Claude.ai integrations?
3. What's the best way to handle code execution on remote MCP servers?
4. How do you manage browser agents on these remote servers?
5. Self-hosting versus cloud service—what do you recommend?
6. Are there simpler ways to manage remote MCP servers?
I'm even considering using Docker containers through AWS to keep the existing server codebases intact. Would love to hear any guides or personal experiences you might have! Thanks a lot!
P.S. Any chance Anthropic might drop better documentation soon?

I’m puzzled why you'd want to switch PostgreSQL to the cloud. Exposing your database to Cloudflare could complicate things. A lot of these tools seem better suited for local setups. If your goal is to have concurrent Claude.ai sessions or to access them on the go, it might be worth considering the trade-offs of remote hosting. But running code execution and databases remotely seems excessive, especially if you've got everything locally already.
I’ve been there! Setting up remote MCP servers is quite the challenge. I started with ECS using Docker containers and it helped me manage various environments without messing with the code much. DigitalOcean's App Platform could also be a fast way to deploy your apps. For remote code execution, I've had success with DreamFactory to generate APIs quickly, which eased the integration process. Heroku is also super user-friendly for Git operations. Explore those options—you might find one fits your needs perfectly!
