Cloudflare MCP Server - Model Context Protocol Server

About this MCP

The Cloudflare MCP Server provides a standardized interface for large language models to interact with Cloudflare's API ecosystem. It enables natural language control of Cloudflare services including Workers, KV, D1 databases, R2 storage, and more through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). With this integration, you can deploy Workers, manage databases, transfer data between services, and perform other Cloudflare operations using conversational prompts in Claude Desktop or any other MCP-compatible client. The server handles authentication and translates natural language requests into appropriate API calls.

Documentation

Overview

The Cloudflare MCP Server implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to allow AI assistants like Claude to interact with your Cloudflare account and services through natural language. This integration enables you to manage Cloudflare resources without having to write code or navigate the dashboard.

Installation

Install the MCP server by running:

npx @cloudflare/mcp-server-cloudflare init

The server will automatically start and run on the default MCP port (8000).
If you're not already authenticated with Cloudflare, the server will automatically run npx wrangler login and prompt you to complete the authentication process in your browser.
Once the server is running, restart your MCP client (like Claude Desktop) to connect to the server.
