Google Cloud Run hosts remote MCP servers built with the official SDKs or FastMCP as streamable-HTTP services, with access controlled by IAM and a local proxy command for developer clients, as documented by the vendor. Cloud Run deploys an MCP server with gcloud run deploy, either from an image with --image and --port or from source with --source (cloud.google.com).
New Google Cloud customers get 300 USD in free credits, per the Cloud Run MCP guide (cloud.google.com). Cloud Run "supports hosting MCP servers with streamable HTTP transport, but not MCP servers with stdio transport." (cloud.google.com). Google's guide applies to servers built with an official MCP SDK or FastMCP and to existing community MCP servers (cloud.google.com).
Local MCP clients can authenticate with the Cloud Run Invoker IAM role (roles/run.invoker) (cloud.google.com). gcloud run services proxy MCP_SERVER_NAME --region REGION --port=3000 creates a local proxy on port 3000 that exposes the remote MCP server to a local client (cloud.google.com). The Cloud Run guide separates authentication for local MCP clients from MCP clients that run on Cloud Run itself (cloud.google.com).
