MCP Demo Day: How 10 leading AI companies built MCP servers on Cloudflare

Today, we're excited to collaborate with Anthropic, Asana, Atlassian, Block, Intercom, Linear, PayPal, Sentry, Stripe, and Webflow to bring a whole new set of remote MCP servers, all built on Cloudflare, to enable Claude users to manage projects, generate invoices, query databases, and even deploy full stack applications — without ever leaving the chat interface. Since Anthropic’s introduction of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) in November, there’s been more and more excitement about it, and it seems like a new MCP server is being released nearly every day. And for good reason! MCP has been the missing piece to make AI agents a reality, and helped define how AI agents interact with tools to take actions and get additional context. ...

Synchronous vs Asynchronous Communication: When to Use What?

A system's usefulness depends heavily on its ability to communicate with other systems.  That’s true whether it’s a pair of microservices exchanging user data, a mobile app fetching catalog details, or a distributed pipeline pushing events through a queue. At some point, every system has to make a call: Should this interaction happen synchronously or asynchronously? That question surfaces everywhere: sometimes explicitly in design documents, sometimes buried in architectural decisions that later appear as latency issues, cascading failures, or observability blind spots. It affects how APIs are designed, how systems scale, and how gracefully they degrade when things break. ...
