I'm starting to plan a workshop on remote MCP servers, and I'm planning on using Cloudflare. I'm pretty sure that I want to separate the concept of authentication from remote hosting, because I think authentication is a pretty big subject that would require a workshop all on its own. That said, assuming that learners already know about tools, prompts, and resources, I'm not sure how much to cover in a workshop about hosted MCP servers that doesn't involve authentication. What are some topics you think would be useful for a workshop like this to include? Again, assuming people have already gone through my MCP Fundamentals workshop where we build a local MCP server (so no need to have additional exercises on tools, prompts, and resources). I'm thinking exercises on 1. Configuring the Durable Object 2. Deploying to Cloudflare But that seems pretty weak. Maybe I should just lump this in with the authentication workshop 🤔
