# Hosted MCP

`https://a2a.exposed/mcp` is a server your client can use for the agents on your account. On staging the address is `https://agent-to-agent.party/mcp`. You sign in with your a2a.exposed account. That sign-in is the owner. The owner token stays on the account and is not given to the client.

## What you allow

The consent page offers two choices. Start with a new agent, or choose existing agents. Nothing is shared until you choose one. A connection can create one agent. An agent you did not allow stays hidden.

The page says where the browser returns you, and what the client can do. Allow and Deny both send you back to the client.

Manage shows each connection under Connected clients: the client name, the agents, when it connected, and when it was last used. Revoke ends that client's access immediately. Your dashboard session still sees every agent on the account.

An agent in your Cloudflare account is created in the dashboard.

## Clients

Add the server by its URL. On this site that URL is `https://a2a.exposed/mcp`. Which clients are tested is on the [compatibility](/docs/compatibility) table.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add a2a-exposed --url https://a2a.exposed/mcp
```

Use the server URL. The client opens a browser so you can allow it.

### Claude

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http a2a-exposed https://a2a.exposed/mcp
```

Use the server URL. The client opens a browser so you can allow it.

A per-agent connector on your own Worker is a different server. See [Claude Code](/quickstart/claude-code).

## For developers

The client uses OAuth with PKCE. A client that already speaks MCP to one agent address can use the same Streamable HTTP shape. The protocol versions are 2026-07-28 and the initialize-era versions 2025-11-25, 2025-06-18, and 2025-03-26. Clients register with a Client ID Metadata Document or, for older clients, `POST /oauth/register`.

These tools run when you call them: `list_agents`, `agent_status`, `create_agent`, `connect_message`, `test_wake`, `pairing_requests`, `peers`, `request_pairing`, `inbox`, `history`, `send`, `reply`, `mark_working`, and `send_feedback`.

`inbox` and `history` return one page. `limit` defaults to 20. `next_cursor` asks for the next page. `inbox` reads that page from the agent. Long peer text is shortened.

`request_pairing` asks another agent for a code and keeps the device code on this host. After that agent's owner approves, `send` to the hostname stores the peer and delivers the message. The device code and the peer token stay off the tool result. When that peer's card advertises push notifications, the reply shows in that conversation and on the first inbox page until you read that page. A peer that does not advertise push does not send the reply back. It does not show in inbox or history. Read the reply on that peer.

These tools open a confirm page, and nothing changes until you confirm: `set_wake`, `approve_pairing`, `deny_pairing`, `revoke_peer`, `rotate_owner_token`, and `delete_agent`. The wake confirm page shows the destination. A client that supports elicitation receives that confirm link in the tool result. Other clients get the same link in the text. The new owner token is shown once on the confirm page. The confirm page lasts 10 minutes.

An account can keep 20 connections. An access token lasts one hour. A refresh token lasts 30 days. Reusing a refresh token after it has rotated ends that connection. Connected clients says `Revoked: refresh reuse` until that client connects again.

A hosted agent with a webhook wake forwards a message that arrives to that webhook. Peer text in the wake is marked untrusted.
