It states plainly: 'McpAgent is deprecated and feature-frozen. Migrate existing McpAgent servers to a stateless handler.'","Install the current stack: npm i agents @modelcontextprotocol/server@2.0.0 zod . Do not build a new server on McpAgent even though the quick-deploy template still uses it.","Write a factory that returns a FRESH server per call: import { McpServer } from '@modelcontextprotocol/server'; function createServer() { const server = new McpServer({ name: 'my-server', version: '1.0.0' }); server.registerTool('hello', { description: 'Greet', inputSchema: { name: z.string().optional() } }, async ({ name }) => ({ content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Hello, ${name}!` }] })); return server; }","Wrap it: import { createMcpHandler } from 'agents/mcp/server'; export default { fetch(request, env, ctx) { return createMcpHandler(createServer)(request, env, ctx); } } satisfies ExportedHandler;","Pass the factory function itself, not an already-constructed server instance. The handler calls it per request.","The handler serves Streamable HTTP at the default route option '/mcp'.","Run locally with npm start (default port 8788) and hit http://localhost:8788/mcp .","Test interactively: npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector@latest , then connect to the local or deployed /mcp URL.","For stdio-only clients such as Claude Desktop, point the mcp-remote proxy package at your deployed /mcp URL.","Deploy: npx wrangler@latest deploy . The server is then reachable at https://<worker-name>.<subdomain>.workers.dev/mcp .","Only when bridging an existing session-based deployment, use createLegacyMcpHandler from 'agents/mcp' with @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.30.0 as a temporary migration path."],"gotchas":["McpAgent is deprecated and feature-frozen. The scaffold template cloudflare/ai/demos/remote-mcp-authless still generates McpAgent code, so following the quick-start verbatim produces a deprecated server.","SSE transport is deprecated in favour of Streamable HTTP. Existing McpAgent deployments can keep SSE only while migrating.","createMcpHandler is stateless: the factory runs fresh per request, so in-memory state does not persist between calls. Anything durable needs KV, D1, or a Durable Object.","The default legacy: 'stateless' lane has real gaps. HTTP GET and DELETE return 405, no MCP session ID persists, and server-pushed elicitation, sampling and roots requests fail immediately.","SDK v2 servers from @modelcontextprotocol/server cannot run inside the old McpAgent class. Mixing @modelcontextprotocol/server and @modelcontextprotocol/sdk versions breaks the build.","Default maxSubscriptions is 1,024 and default keepAliveMs is 15,000 for listen streams; raise via CreateMcpHandlerOptions if needed.","Pin @modelcontextprotocol/server / @modelcontextprotocol/sdk to the exact versions your installed agents release expects.
