Cloudflare alternative

The Cloudflare alternative when the server is the product.

Cloudflare is where a Worker already runs. NitroStack is the product for building the MCP server, trying a call, and hosting it, in TypeScript or Python.

01

Why teams look at NitroStack

01

You are not writing a Worker to get a URL

NitroStackNitroCloud hosts the server you built.

CloudflareYou build the server as a Worker and operate that deploy.

02

Python is a first-class choice

NitroStackTypeScript or Python.

CloudflareTypeScript on Workers.

03

Code Mode has a home

NitroStackIt runs inside your server, off until the catalog is the cost.

CloudflareThey named the pattern and run it on their edge. Their token figures are their measurement.

02

NitroStack and Cloudflare, side by side.

This is who the row favors. It is not a benchmark, and it does not use their published numbers as if they were ours.

Honest limits

Where Cloudflare is the better fit.

  • The rest of the product is already on WorkersStay there if the MCP endpoint is one more Worker beside a stack you already operate. Cloudflare’s own write-up of the newer stateless MCP is here: blog.cloudflare.com/mcp-v2
  • Employees need Zero Trust in front of toolsCloudflare One portals, Access policies, and DLP are their product. NitroStack does not replace that.

03

Making the switch

  1. 01Keep Cloudflare for the rest of the edge. Move the MCP server if it has become its own product.
  2. 02Scaffold the server with the NitroStack CLI, in TypeScript or Python.
  3. 03Try each tool in NitroStudio before it has a public URL.
  4. 04Deploy on NitroCloud, or send a POC request and we will tell you if it fits.

Questions

Before you move anything.

Is NitroStack’s Code Mode Cloudflare’s Code Mode?

Same pattern, different box. Cloudflare named it and published their own token measurements. NitroStack runs it inside your server. Those measurements are not a NitroStack benchmark.

Is NitroStack open source?

The SDK, the CLI, and the widgets are open source. NitroStudio and NitroCloud are the products around that core. You can start locally without a credit card.

What if we are not sure it fits?

Send a POC request whether you need one or not. We will tell you if NitroStack is the right place for this server.

Run NitroStack next to what you have.

Sign up and try the server, or ask the team for a free POC. Keep the current setup until the new one is the one you want.
