Cloudflare And Tech Companies Create AI Agent Experiences Through Anthropic's Claude
Cloudflare has announced a wave of global technology companies, including Asana, Atlassian, Block, PayPal, Sentry, Stripe, and more, are working with Cloudflare to create powerful AI experiences through Anthropic's AI assistant, Claude. These software companies are enabling Claude and other AI assistants to securely interact with their services on behalf of users, through connections built on Cloudflare Workers. Now users can complete tasks and interact with their favorite business tools through natural conversations with Claude, rather than working directly in the application.
AI is already transforming the way we work by helping to edit emails, generate code, and analyze data. However, it still often requires the user to switch between multiple applications, tabs, and tools to implement the actions it recommends. For truly autonomous, agentic AI experiences, AI tools should be able to act on the user's behalf. That can only happen if AI tools can directly interact with business software tools. MCP servers allow AI platforms to connect directly to the popular tools where data resides so the user can send an email, answer a question about a marketing campaign, or create invoices–all without leaving the AI assistant. But delivering reliable, low-latency, and secure access to external tools and data is a significant technical challenge, especially at global scale.
'Cloudflare is powering how AI connects to the world,' said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO, Cloudflare. 'Whether it's through a browser, an app, or an AI assistant like Claude, we're the backbone making those experiences fast, secure, and reliable. As agentic AI becomes the new interface, Cloudflare is the core infrastructure companies will rely on to build and scale their AI strategies.'
'AI apps are most valuable when they can connect to your data and tools, but building these connections reliably at scale is complex,' said Mahesh Murag, Product Manager at Anthropic. 'Cloudflare is helping to simplify and secure how anyone can connect their apps to Claude via MCP, accelerate adoption of MCP, and kickstart an ecosystem of remote servers.'
Simplifying How Enterprises Build with MCP Standard
Cloudflare provides the only toolkit to build remote MCP servers quickly and easily – allowing developer teams to focus on building powerful AI experiences for their users rather than managing the technical challenges of MCP, the open-source standard developed by Anthropic. Cloudflare makes it easy to build secure MCP servers – simplifying complex authentication and authorization processes, providing controls to restrict agent permissions, and offering visibility into what data has been accessed and what actions were taken. Building and deploying remote MCP servers on Cloudflare takes days instead of weeks, and is supported by Cloudflare's global network for fast, reliable, seamless AI experiences for customers anywhere. 0 0

G42 Plants Flag in London to Power Europe's AI Ambition
G42 has unveiled a new London‑based subsidiary, G42 Europe & UK, designed to amplify its AI infrastructure and services across the United Kingdom and continental Europe. The entity, co‑chaired by Omar Mir and Marty Edelman, will deliver end‑to‑end AI offerings—from advisory and model deployment to supercomputing infrastructure—for sectors including finance, healthcare, energy and manufacturing. The launch comes as G42 continues its strategic European rollout, following the roll‑out of AI compute clusters and data‑centre capabilities in France and Italy. Positioned at the heart of London, the new hub aims to serve as a local nexus for AI innovation, bridging the gulf between regulatory frameworks and technological delivery. Omar Mir, an international board member at World Wide Technology with more than two decades of experience in 5G, cloud and AI services across Europe and the Middle East, will co‑lead the initiative. His counterpart, Marty Edelman, G42's group general counsel, brings deep expertise in legal oversight and governance—a reflection of G42's emphasis on secure, sovereign deployment in regulated markets. ADVERTISEMENT Mir emphasised the vision: 'Our goal is to harness G42's proven AI expertise and localise it for European and UK businesses—fuelling digital transformation, enhancing competitiveness, and building resilient, sovereign AI infrastructure in partnership with public and private stakeholders'. Edelman added that the UK and Europe represent dynamic markets with significant scope for AI‑driven innovation, and that a London hub enables the company to align closely with local regulatory regimes. G42 Europe & UK will leverage the group's global computing backbone—comprising supercomputing nodes, data centres and AI‑modeling platforms—to deliver a full spectrum of capabilities. Services will span strategic advisory, AI model development, infrastructure deployment and managed services, all with a focus on local data sovereignty and regulatory compliance. The initiative complements G42's earlier announcements of strategic investments in AI infrastructure in France and Italy. In Italy, G42 is partnering on a €1 billion supercomputing build with iGenius, while in France it has established an AMD‑powered AI facility in Grenoble. The London operation is expected to accelerate regulatory engagement and foster partnerships tailored to the European sovereignty agenda. Analysts suggest the move is part of a broader ambition by the UAE and G42 to position themselves as credible alternatives to US and Chinese cloud and AI providers. By offering sovereign, locally governed infrastructure, G42 aims to appeal to European clients seeking secure, high‑performance computing solutions. G42's broader portfolio, including Khazna data centres, Core42 sovereign‑cloud capabilities, cybersecurity firm CPX, analytics outfit Presight and AI lab Inception, will support the London hub's operations. This integrated ecosystem underpins G42's 'Intelligence Grid', a unified platform delivering enterprise‑grade AI research, analytics and cloud services. London's strategic significance is two‑fold. As a pre‑Brexit financial and regulatory anchor, it provides a gateway to both UK and EU markets. Moreover, it enhances G42's ability to work alongside national and regional authorities in shaping next‑generation AI infrastructure and data governance frameworks. Employee responses on social media underline the positive reception. A post from G42's LinkedIn noted the subsidiary 'will drive localized AI solutions and lead infrastructure build‑outs across the UK and continental Europe,' garnering broad applauds from industry peers. Industry observers acknowledge that G42's European foothold aligns with wider trends in AI geopolitics. Investment in local compute and data sovereignty reflects growing European determination to reduce dependency on US or Chinese technology ecosystems while scaling home‑grown digital capacity.

AI Browser Agents Mark New Era with H Company Launch
Runner H, Surfer H and Tester H, three autonomous AI agents developed by Paris-based H Company, make web-native task automation available across consumer and enterprise settings. The framework integrates advanced vision–language models that perceive browser interfaces and predict actions like clicking buttons or filling text fields, executing them via a headless browser. Runner H acts as the orchestrator. It receives natural‑language instructions, composes workflows using specialised sub‑agents and interacts with platforms such as Google Drive, Slack and Notion. In corporate pilots across France and abroad, Runner H has already begun generating revenue, even as the company offers a limited-edge free version for individual users. Surfer H is a browsing‑focused agent powered by an open‑sourced model called Holo‑1. Built on Alibaba Cloud's Qwen with H Company's enhancements, Holo‑1 records a 92.2 % success rate on the WebVoyager benchmarking suite—surpassing competitors including Google's Project Mariner and OpenAI's Operator—while reportedly cutting per‑query costs by over five‑fold. ADVERTISEMENT Tester H is tailored for web automation and testing, converting English-language prompts into scripted interactions like form‑filling or button‑clicking. The tool rides on the back of the company's 2024 acquisition of Mithril Security, integrating security‑focused mechanisms while aiming to simplify QA workflows for engineers. Benchmarks show Runner H outperforming market alternatives. On WebVoyager, its VLM–LLM pipeline yielded a 67 % task‑completion rate—exceeding Emergence AgentE at 61 % and Anthropic's Computer Use agent at 52 %. The backbone of Runner H comprises a 3‑billion‑parameter H‑VLM for interpreting GUI elements and a family of internal LLMs optimised for decision‑making and code generation. H Company introduced these agents alongside its Studio platform in March. The Studio provides a unified interface for designing, editing and running web automations, with self‑healing UI selectors and workflow version control. The platform currently operates in a private beta, yet H Company envisions expanding access to developers and broader audiences soon. Founded by former DeepMind researchers and headquartered in Paris, H Company has grown to a team of around 70, with an office in London and plans to open in the United States. Its vision is to redefine AI—from dialogue assistants to action‑driven agents capable of autonomously executing tasks across software and services. AI‑powered automation is gaining momentum. Open-source browser agents such as OpenAI's Operator, Anthropic's Claude Computer Use, and various community initiatives are rapidly evolving. Notably, H Company is contributing to that momentum by publishing research on its Vision‑Language and Large Language Models, and by releasing Holo‑1 under an open‑source licence, accelerating accessibility for developers. H Company is refining capabilities via reinforcement learning, agent debugging tools, memory, planning modules and community support. Their research emphasises modularity and cost‑efficiency—showing VLMs can outperform large generalist models in task‑grounding while operating at a fraction of the size and serve‑time cost.
