Table of Contents

Features

Tools across 6 domains:

  • DNS — Record management (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, CAA, NS), batch operations

  • Zones — Zone listing, settings, SSL/TLS configuration, cache management

  • Tunnels — Cloudflare Tunnel creation, configuration, and ingress management

  • WAF — Ruleset management, custom firewall rules, rate limiting

  • Zero Trust — Access applications, policies, identity providers, Gateway status

  • Security — Security event analytics, IP access rules, DDoS configuration

Quick Start

npm install
cp .env.example .env   # Edit with your Cloudflare API token
npm run build
node dist/index.js     # stdio transport for MCP

Claude Code Integration

Add to .mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudflare": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-cloudflare/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here",
        "CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID": "your-account-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configuration

Variable

Required

Default

Description

CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN

Cloudflare API Token (with appropriate permissions)

CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID

Cloudflare Account ID (required for account-level operations)

CLOUDFLARE_TIMEOUT

No

30000

Request timeout in milliseconds

API Token Permissions

Create an API Token at dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens with the following permissions based on what you need:

  • DNS: Zone > DNS > Edit

  • Zone settings: Zone > Zone Settings > Edit

  • Tunnels: Account > Cloudflare Tunnel > Edit

  • WAF: Zone > Firewall Services > Edit

  • Zero Trust: Account > Access: Apps and Policies > Edit

  • Security events: Zone > Analytics > Read

Multi-Zone Support

All zone-scoped tools accept a zone_id parameter that can be either:

  • A 32-character hex zone ID (e.g., 00000000000000000000000000000001) — used directly

  • A zone name / domain (e.g., example.com) — resolved automatically via the Cloudflare API

This allows managing multiple zones by name without needing to look up IDs manually.

Tools

Tools documentation is coming in v1 as tool modules are implemented. See docs/api-reference.md for the planned API endpoint mapping.

Skills

Claude Code skills compose MCP tools into higher-level workflows. See .claude/skills/README.md for detailed documentation.
