The Ultimate Guide to Cloudflare Page Publish MCP: Instant HTML Hosting Solution

Solving the Pain Point of Rapid Page Deployment

Modern web development demands efficient solutions for temporary page hosting. Traditional hosting often involves complex server configurations and time-consuming deployment processes. The Cloudflare Page Publish MCP tool revolutionizes this workflow by leveraging Cloudflare Workers and KV storage to enable instant HTML page publishing directly from your development environment.

Core Functionality: Streamlined Page Publishing

Two-Parameter Simplicity

The tool requires only:

  1. Page Title: Defines your page’s display name
  2. Page Content: Complete HTML code
// Example request structure
{
  "title": "Demo Landing Page",
  "content": "<html><body><h1>Welcome Developers</h1></body></html>"
}

Automated Link Generation

Upon submission:

  1. HTML content stores in Cloudflare KV
  2. Unique access URL generated
  3. Returns format: https://your-domain.com/page/{unique-id}

Deployment Workflow

Step 1: Clone Repository

git clone https://github.com/Actrue/cf-page-publish-mcp.git
cd cf-page-publish-mcp

Step 2: Create KV Namespace

wrangler kv namespace create cf-page-publish-mcp

Output contains vital configuration:

{
  "kv_namespaces": [
    {
      "binding": "cf_page_publish",
      "id": "7d776eaeacd0412380f6eb39ca4aea9a"
    }
  ]
}

Step 3: Configure Settings

Update wrangler.jsonc:

{
  "routes": [{"pattern": "your-domain.com", "custom_domain": true}],
  "vars": {"host": "your-domain.com"},
  "kv_namespaces": [
    {
      "binding": "KV",
      "id": "YOUR_KV_ID" // From Step 2
    }
  ]
}

Step 4: Install & Deploy

pnpm install      // Install dependencies
npx wrangler deploy // Cloudflare deployment

Successful deployment shows:

Uploaded cf-page-publish-mcp (1.45 sec)
Published cf-page-publish-mcp (https://your-domain.com)
