What is Cloudflare MCP Server?

Cloudflare MCP Server is a set of lightweight servers that connect your Cloudflare services with any application supporting the Model Context Protocol. By plugging into these servers, you can manage, query, and operate Cloudflare's vast ecosystem—ranging from DNS management and logs to security analytics and developer tools—using standardized, discoverable tool calls from compatible clients.

How to Configure

To connect Cloudflare MCP Server with your MCP client, simply provide the relevant server URL within your client's settings if it supports remote MCP servers, such as through the Cloudflare AI Playground interface. If your client does not natively support remote MCP servers, you can use the npm package mcp-remote to configure endpoints manually. Edit your client's configuration file to include the desired servers, for example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudflare-observability": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://observability.mcp.cloudflare.com/sse"]
    },
    "cloudflare-bindings": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["mcp-remote", "https://bindings.mcp.cloudflare.com/sse"]
    }
  }
}

Make sure your Cloudflare account has the necessary permissions and subscriptions for any premium features you wish to use.

How to Use

Once configured, you can access Cloudflare MCP Server through any compatible MCP client. Within the client, you can discover available tools, list resources, and invoke functions by natural language prompts or direct tool calls. The server supports a wide range of tasks such as reading documentation, debugging apps, managing DNS, monitoring security, and more. Tool calls are executed on your behalf and responses are returned as structured data or actionable insights, allowing you to automate and streamline common Cloudflare operations.

FAQ

1. What MCP clients can I use with Cloudflare MCP Server?

Any MCP-compliant client can connect, such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Cloudflare AI Playground. If your client supports remote servers directly, just enter the server URL. Otherwise, set up via mcp-remote.

2. Some features won't work for me—what should I do?

Certain features require a paid Cloudflare Workers plan or specific permissions. Make sure your account has the required subscription and access to the Cloudflare products relevant to your use case.

3. Why do I get "Claude's response was interrupted ..." or incomplete responses?

This typically means the LLM hit its context-length limit, especially with workflows involving multiple chained tool calls. Try breaking up large or complex requests into smaller steps.

4. How often are new features or servers added?

Cloudflare MCP Server is actively developed, with new server endpoints and functionalities added regularly. Feedback and feature requests are welcome via the repository’s issue tracker.

5. Is my data secure when using Cloudflare MCP Server?

Yes, MCP design principles ensure your data remains within your own infrastructure, and all access to remote servers occurs through secure, authenticated protocols.
