Project Structure
Usage Examples
Example 1: List Your Zones
Ask Claude:
"Show me all my Cloudflare zones"
Example 2: Create a DNS Record
Ask Claude:
"Create an A record for api.example.com pointing to 192.0.2.100 with proxy enabled"
Example 3: Purge Cache
Ask Claude:
"Clear the cache for https://example.com/style.css"
For more examples, see EXAMPLES.md.
API Permissions
Your Cloudflare API token needs appropriate permissions based on what operations you want to perform:
Minimum Permissions:
Zone - Zone - Read (for listing zones)
Zone - DNS - Edit (for DNS operations)
Additional Permissions for Advanced Features:
Account - Workers KV Storage - Edit (for KV operations)
Zone - Cache Purge - Purge (for cache operations)
Zone - Analytics - Read (for analytics)
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
"CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN environment variable is required"
Make sure you've set the environment variable
Check your Claude Desktop config has the correct token in the
env
section
"Account ID is required"
Set
CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID
environment variable for KV operationsOr pass
account_id
parameter directly in tool calls
uv command not found
Install uv:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
Or use pip as an alternative
Module not found errors
Make sure you installed the package:
uv pip install -e .
Check you're in the right directory
Why uv?
This project uses uv because it's:
ā” 10-100x faster than pip
š More reliable with better dependency resolution
šÆ Simpler - one tool for everything
š Modern - built in Rust, designed for Python
Security Notes
Never commit your API token to version control
Store tokens securely using environment variables
Use API tokens instead of API keys (they're more secure and can be scoped)
Regularly rotate your API tokens
Use the minimum required permissions for your token
