Questions buyers ask

Do Cloudflare MCP server portals keep a registry of agents?

Portals list MCP servers: admins add them to Cloudflare Access, up to 80 per portal.⁠Source 1 Agents connect to a portal as MCP clients, with a person’s identity provider login or an Access service token.⁠Source 1, Source 90 A registry of agents is not publicly documented.

How are Cloudflare MCP server portals priced?

Cloudflare says MCP server portals are available to all Cloudflare customers.⁠Source 91 A separate price for portals is not publicly documented.

Can agents built elsewhere connect to Cloudflare MCP server portals?

As MCP clients: Cloudflare says MCP clients that support remote MCP servers can connect to a portal.⁠Source 1 Autonomous agents can use an Access service token instead of a browser OAuth flow; upstream requests then use the admin credential, not per-user OAuth.⁠Source 1, Source 90

Do Cloudflare MCP server portals support A2A?

Portals connect MCP clients to MCP servers.⁠Source 1 Whether portals support the A2A protocol is not publicly documented. Cloudflare’s separate Agents SDK has a published example that runs an agent as an A2A server.⁠Source 92
