In addition to CL-HTTP, you might be able to run Hunchentoot <http://weitz.de/hunchentoot/> thanks to the recent good work by binghe in making the usocket library available for MCL.

Another option for a client/server MCL application is to use Swank for RPC communication. MCLIDE's open source includes a Swank server for MCL that you can use, and the upcoming MCLIDE2 also has a Common Lisp Swank client that is verified to run on Clozure CL and should only require minor adjustments for other Common Lisp implementations. As an extra benefit of running Swank on the MCL server, you'll be able to use MCLIDE (and/or Emacs SLIME) for remote development and can use that as a starting point for a rich client.
