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	Yes	—	Cloudflare API Token (with appropriate permissions)
CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID	No	—	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
• Workers KV: Account > Workers KV Storage > Edit
• Workers: Account > Worker Scripts > Edit

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.
