4747* **[cloudflared](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/mcp-tunnels/concepts#components):** Cloudflare’s open-source tunnel connector. It initiates outbound-only connections to the [tunnel edge](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/mcp-tunnels/concepts#components) and carries encrypted traffic from Anthropic to your proxy.
4848* **[Proxy](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/mcp-tunnels/concepts#components):** Anthropic’s routing component. It terminates [inner TLS](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/mcp-tunnels/concepts#components), validates that upstream IPs fall within an allowed range, and routes each request to the correct [upstream MCP server](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/mcp-tunnels/concepts#components) based on hostname.

50Each MCP server you expose gets a hostname under your tunnel domain (for example, `docs.<your-tunnel-domain>`). You attach these hostnames to a Managed Agent session in the Claude Console, or pass them to the Messages API through the [MCP connector](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/mcp-connector).
