2. Add to Claude Desktop
Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"cloudflare": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/cloudflare-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here"
}
}
}
}3. Add to Claude Code
Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cloudflare": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/cloudflare-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here"
}
}
}
}Usage Examples

purge_cache zone_id="xxx" purge_everything=truePurge specific URLs
purge_cache zone_id="xxx" files=["https://example.com/style.css", "https://example.com/script.js"]CLI Usage
The CLI provides the same functionality as the MCP server but can be used directly in terminal or by OpenClaw.
Install CLI globally

OpenClaw Setup
For OpenClaw bots that don't support MCP, use the CLI with the provided skill.
1. Install CLI globally
cd /path/to/cloudflare-mcp
npm install
npm run build
npm link # Makes cloudflare-cli available globally2. Copy skill to OpenClaw
# Copy to managed skills (available for all agents)
cp -r skill ~/.openclaw/skills/cloudflare
# Or copy to workspace skills (specific project)
cp -r skill /path/to/your/workspace/skills/cloudflare3. Configure OpenClaw
Add to ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:
{
"skills": {
"entries": {
"cloudflare": {
"enabled": true,
"env": {
"CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here"
}
}
}
}
}4. Verify installation
# Check if CLI is available
which cloudflare-cli
cloudflare-cli --version
# Test with your token
export CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN="your-token"
cloudflare-cli zones listNow the OpenClaw bot can use /cloudflare or invoke cloudflare-cli commands directly.
