You can create a tRPC server within any edge runtime that follow the WinterCG, specifically the Minimum Common Web Platform API specification.
Some of these runtimes include, but are not limited to:
- Cloudflare Workers
- Deno Deploy
- Vercel Edge Runtime (& Next.js Edge Runtime)
This also makes it easy to integrate into frameworks that use the web platform APIs to represent requests and responses, such as:
- Astro (SSR mode)
- Remix
- SolidStart

How to use tRPC server with an edge runtime
tRPC provides a fetch adapter that uses the native Request and Response APIs as input and output. The tRPC-specific code is the same across all runtimes, the only difference being how the response is returned.
tRPC includes an adapter for the native Fetch API out of the box. This adapter lets you convert your tRPC router into a Request handler that returns Response objects.
Required Web APIs
tRPC server uses the following Fetch APIs:
Request,ResponsefetchHeadersURL
If your runtime supports these APIs, you can use tRPC server.
tip
Fun fact: that also means you can use a tRPC server in your browser!
Common setup
Install dependencies
tip
You can skip this step if you use Deno Deploy.
- npm
- yarn
- pnpm
- bun
- deno
npm install @trpc/server @trpc/client zod
Zod isn't a required dependency, but it's used in the sample router below.
AI Agents
If you use an AI coding agent, install tRPC skills for better code generation:
bash
npx @tanstack/intent@latest install
Create the router
First of all you need a router to handle your queries, mutations and subscriptions.
A sample router is given below, save it in a file named router.ts.
router.ts
If your router file starts getting too big, split your router into several subrouters each implemented in its own file. Then merge them into a single root appRouter.
Create the context
Then you need a context that will be created for each request.
A sample context is given below, save it in a file named context.ts:
context.ts
Runtime-specific setup
Astro
src/pages/trpc/[trpc].ts
ts
import { fetchRequestHandler } from '@trpc/server/adapters/fetch';
import type { APIRoute } from 'astro';
import { createContext } from '../../server/context';
import { appRouter } from '../../server/router';
export const ALL: APIRoute = (opts) => {
return fetchRequestHandler({
`endpoint: '/trpc',`
`req: opts.request,`
`router: appRouter,`
`createContext,`
});
};
Cloudflare Worker
Create Cloudflare Worker
server.ts
ts
import { fetchRequestHandler } from '@trpc/server/adapters/fetch';
import { createContext } from './context';
import { appRouter } from './router';
export default {
async fetch(request: Request): Promise<Response> {
`return fetchRequestHandler({`
`endpoint: '/trpc',`
`req: request,`
`router: appRouter,`
`createContext,`
`});`
},
};
Run wrangler dev server.ts and your endpoints will be available via HTTP!
Endpoint
HTTP URI
getUser
GET http://localhost:8787/trpc/getUserById?input=INPUT
where INPUT is a URI-encoded JSON string.
createUser
POST http://localhost:8787/trpc/createUser
with req.body of type User
Deno Oak
note
This assumes you have Deno installed and setup. Refer to their getting started guide for more information.
Update the imports in router.ts
router.ts
ts
import { initTRPC } from 'npm:@trpc/server';
import { z } from 'npm:zod';
import { Context } from './context.ts';
Update the imports in context.ts
context.ts
ts
import { FetchCreateContextFnOptions } from 'npm:@trpc/server/adapters/fetch';
Use fetchRequestHandler with Oak in app.ts
app.ts
ts
import { Application, Router } from 'https://deno.land/x/oak/mod.ts';
import { fetchRequestHandler } from 'npm:@trpc/server/adapters/fetch';
import { createContext } from './context.ts';
import { appRouter } from './router.ts';
const app = new Application();
const router = new Router();
router.all('/trpc/(.*)', async (ctx) => {
const res = await fetchRequestHandler({
`endpoint: '/trpc',`
`req: new Request(ctx.request.url, {`
`headers: ctx.request.headers,`
`body:`
`ctx.request.method !== 'GET' && ctx.request.method !== 'HEAD'`
`? ctx.request.body({ type: 'stream' }).value`
`: void 0,`
`method: ctx.request.method,`
`}),`
`router: appRouter,`
`createContext,`
});
ctx.response.status = res.status;
ctx.response.headers = res.headers;
ctx.response.body = res.body;
});
app.use(router.routes());
app.use(router.allowedMethods());
await app.listen({ port: 3000 });
Deno Deploy
note
This assumes you have Deno installed and setup. Refer to their getting started guide for more information.

router.ts
ts
import { initTRPC } from 'npm:@trpc/server';
import { z } from 'npm:zod';

import { appRouter } from '~/server/router';
export const loader = async (args: LoaderFunctionArgs) => {
return handleRequest(args);
