Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function that validates input parameters, looks up the zone ID from the zone name, and performs the DELETE request to Cloudflare's DNS records API endpoint.
    handler: async (params: z.infer<typeof DeleteDnsRecordInputSchema>) => {
      const { zone_name, record_id } = DeleteDnsRecordInputSchema.parse(params);
      const zones = await client.get<Array<{ id: string; name: string }>>('/zones', { name: zone_name });
      if (zones.length === 0) throw new Error(`Zone ${zone_name} not found`);
      const zoneId = zones[0].id;
      await client.delete(`/zones/${zoneId}/dns_records/${record_id}`);
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: JSON.stringify({ success: true, id: record_id }, null, 2)
          }
        ]
      };
    },
  • Zod input schema defining required parameters: zone_name (string) and record_id (string). Converted to JSON schema for the tool's inputSchema.
    const DeleteDnsRecordInputSchema = z.object({ zone_name: z.string(), record_id: z.string() });
  • Local registration of the tool object in the getDnsTools() return value using the slash-separated name.
    'cloudflare-dns-mcp/delete_dns_record': deleteDnsRecordTool,
  • src/index.ts:18-32 (registration)
    Main server registration: calls getDnsTools and spreads DNS tools into the combined allTools map used for MCP server toolset.
    const dnsTools = getDnsTools(cfClient);
    const securityTools = getSecurityTools(cfClient);
    const sslCertTools = getSslCertTools(cfClient);
    const zoneTools = getZoneManagementTools(cfClient);
    const echoTools = getEchoTools();
    const redirectTools = getRedirectTools(cfClient);
    
    const allTools = {
      ...dnsTools.tools,
      ...securityTools.tools,
      ...sslCertTools.tools,
      ...echoTools.tools,
      ...redirectTools.tools,
      ...zoneTools.tools,
    } as Record<string, any>;
  • Helper function that sanitizes tool names, replacing '/' with '_', creating the exact queried name 'cloudflare-dns-mcp_delete_dns_record' from 'cloudflare-dns-mcp/delete_dns_record'.
      const safeName = tool.name.replace(/[^a-zA-Z0-9_-]/g, '_');
      toolsMap[safeName] = tool;
    }
