Workers run JavaScript/TypeScript at the edge globally, and Workers AI provides on-edge LLM inference. Cloudflare also ships first-party support for hosting MCP servers on Workers.\n\nFor agent developers, the edge runtime means low-latency tool execution anywhere in the world. The MCP server hosting support is a differentiator — you can deploy MCP-compatible tool servers on Cloudflare Workers with built-in OAuth. The tradeoff is that the Workers runtime isn't fully Node.js-compatible, so some npm packages won't work."}
