Before you start

  • Review the Google Cloud Run upstream documentation for its installation requirements
  • Obtain any credentials required by the upstream service
  • A running Bifrost MCP Gateway instance

What you can do with Google Cloud Run

  • Deploy code to Google Cloud Run
  • Expose Google Cloud Run tools to Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients through one endpoint
  • Apply virtual keys, tool allowlists, and audit logging at the gateway

[ HOW TO CONNECT ]

Connect Google Cloud Run to Bifrost in three steps

1

Install Bifrost

Start the gateway locally or deploy in your VPC.

npx -y @maximhq/bifrost
2

Add Google Cloud Run in MCP Gateway

Open MCP Gateway in the Bifrost dashboard, click New MCP Server, and select the transport documented by the upstream server. Or register via the API below.

• Confirm the transport, command or endpoint, and authentication requirements in the Google Cloud Run upstream documentation.

• Replace every placeholder in the example before sending the request.

3

Point clients at Bifrost /mcp

Configure Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code to use your Bifrost endpoint with a virtual key instead of connecting directly to Google Cloud Run.

    "bifrost": {
      "url": "http://localhost:8080/mcp",

    }
  }
}

[ EXAMPLE CONFIG ]

Register Google Cloud Run via API

Add this MCP client with a POST to /api/mcp/client. See Connecting to MCP Servers for full options.

# For a remote HTTP or SSE server:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/mcp/client \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "google-cloud-run",
    "connection_type": "<http|sse>",
    "connection_string": "<upstream MCP endpoint>",
    "tools_to_execute": ["*"]
  }'

# For a local STDIO server:
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/mcp/client \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "google-cloud-run",
    "connection_type": "stdio",
    "stdio_config": {
      "command": "<upstream command>",
      "args": ["<arg>"]
    },
    "tools_to_execute": ["*"]
  }'

[ WHY BIFROST ]

Run Google Cloud Run through one governed gateway

Access control

Virtual keys, RBAC, and tool allowlists per team or agent.

Cost governance

Attribute MCP tool spend alongside LLM usage in one view.

Observability

Log every tool call with latency, server, and virtual key metadata.

Credential isolation

Upstream secrets stay in the gateway — not on every laptop.

[ FAQ ]

Common questions

What does the Google Cloud Run MCP server do?

Deploy code to Google Cloud Run The exact tools available depend on the upstream server version and configuration.

How do I connect Google Cloud Run to Bifrost?

Check the upstream documentation to determine whether Google Cloud Run uses STDIO, Streamable HTTP, or SSE. Then add it as an MCP client in Bifrost using the corresponding command or endpoint.

Does Bifrost replace the Google Cloud Run MCP server?

No. Bifrost connects to Google Cloud Run as an upstream MCP client and adds a governed gateway between that server and your AI assistants.

[ MCP GATEWAY ]

One gateway for Google Cloud Run and every other MCP server

Bifrost MCP Gateway gives you tool-level access control, audit logs, and up to 92% lower token costs when agents orchestrate multiple tools.
