Several major software companies – including Asana, Atlassian, Block, PayPal, Sentry, and Stripe – are partnering with Cloudflare to deliver “seamless and secure” AI experiences powered by Claude, Anthropic’s conversational AI assistant. These collaborations aim to redefine how users interact with business software by allowing AI to perform tasks across applications on the user’s behalf, without requiring them to switch between tabs or platforms.
This shift is enabled by Cloudflare Workers and a new technical standard known as MCP (Managed Component Protocol), developed by Anthropic. MCP allows Claude and similar AI tools to connect directly to enterprise software platforms where company data resides. Through these integrations, users can issue voice or text commands to send emails, generate invoices, access analytics, or manage campaigns – tasks that previously required navigating multiple tools and interfaces.
AI is increasingly woven into business operations, handling everything from writing emails to generating code. However, for AI to evolve from passive assistant to active agent, it must be able to interact autonomously with the tools professionals use daily. That level of integration introduces significant complexity, particularly around security, latency, and global reliability.
Scaling Agentic AI Systems
Cloudflare is positioning itself as a critical infrastructure provider in this transformation. Its global network is used to host and operate MCP servers that act as bridges between AI assistants and business software. According to Cloudflare co-founder and CEO Matthew Prince, the company is enabling the next generation of AI-driven user experiences. “Cloudflare is the foundation that makes those experiences quick, safe, and dependable,” he said, adding that the firm’s infrastructure is essential for businesses scaling agentic AI systems.
Anthropic’s Product Manager, Mahesh Murag, echoed the sentiment, emphasizing the technical challenges involved in connecting AI tools to live enterprise data. “Cloudflare is accelerating MCP adoption, launching an ecosystem of remote servers, and making it easier and safer for anyone to connect their apps to Claude,” he said.
The partnership addresses common pain points in enterprise AI adoption, such as building reliable integrations and securing data access. Cloudflare offers the tooling for rapidly setting up remote MCP servers, helping development teams focus on user experience instead of backend complexity. Its services include tools for authentication, authorization, agent permissions, and visibility into AI-driven activity.
By eliminating deployment complexity and guaranteeing secure, low-latency interactions, Cloudflare is opening the door for multinational corporations to develop next-generation AI capabilities more quickly and securely than before.
Through discussions with Claude, Cloudflare is also launching its own MCP servers, which would make it easier for users to create apps, create speedier websites, and protect networks and websites. Instead of having to read documentation or use Cloudflare’s observability tools, developers can now quickly talk with Claude to see logs and assist in tracking and debugging bugs.
