Made by Cursor. IDETerminalStandaloneCloud [ Cloudflare Skills ↗ ](https://github.com/cloudflare/skills)[ Cloudflare Code Mode API MCP ↗ ](https://github.com/cloudflare/mcp)[ Cloudflare Domain Specific MCPs ↗ ](https://github.com/cloudflare/mcp-server-cloudflare)[ Cursor Docs ↗ ](https://docs.cursor.com) ## Quick start 1. **Install Cursor** Download Cursor for macOS, Windows, or Linux from the [Cursor downloads page ↗](https://cursor.com/downloads). For additional information, see the [Cursor installation guide ↗](https://cursor.com/docs/get-started/installation). 2. **Install the Cloudflare plugin** In Cursor, run the following command or install from the [Cursor Marketplace ↗](https://cursor.com/marketplace/cloudflare). This installs Cloudflare Skills and registers the Cloudflare MCP servers. ``` /add-plugin cloudflare ``` 3. **Try a prompt** For example: ``` Set up GitHub Actions to deploy this Worker to staging and production on Cloudflare. ``` ## Cloudflare platform access Expand any section to learn more. Cloudflare Skills Persistent platform context that teaches the agent how Cloudflare works. Skills are instructions the agent loads on demand. The [cloudflare/skills ](https://github.com/cloudflare/skills) bundle covers every layer of the platform — so the agent knows your conventions without you re-explaining them. * agents-sdk Build AI agents on Cloudflare Workers using the Agents SDK. Load when creating stateful agents, durable workflows, real-time WebSocket apps, scheduled tasks, MCP servers, chat applications, voice agents, or browser automation. Covers Agent class, state management, callable RPC, Workflows, durable execution, queues, retries, observability, and React hooks. Biases towards retrieval from Cloudflare docs over pre-trained knowledge. * cloudflare Comprehensive Cloudflare platform skill covering Workers, Pages, storage (KV, D1, R2), AI (Workers AI, Vectorize, Agents SDK), feature flags (Flagship), networking (Tunnel, Spectrum), security (WAF, DDoS), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Pulumi). Use for any Cloudflare development task. Biases towards retrieval from Cloudflare docs over pre-trained knowledge. * cloudflare-email-service Send and receive transactional emails with Cloudflare Email Service (Email Sending + Email Routing). Use when building email sending (Workers binding or REST API), email routing, Agents SDK email handling, or integrating email into any app — Workers, Node.js, Python, Go, etc. Also use for email deliverability, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, wrangler email setup, MCP email tools, or when a coding agent needs to send emails. Even for simple requests like "add email to my Worker" — this skill has critical config details. * cloudflare-one "Guides Cloudflare One Zero Trust and SASE work across Access, Gateway, WARP, Tunnel, Cloudflare WAN, DLP, CASB, device posture, and identity. Use when designing, configuring, troubleshooting, or reviewing Cloudflare One deployments. Retrieval-first: use current Cloudflare docs/API schemas instead of embedded product docs." * cloudflare-one-migrations Plans migrations from Zscaler ZIA/ZPA, Palo Alto, legacy VPN, SWG, or SASE stacks to Cloudflare One. Use for migration assessments, policy mapping, rollout plans, and parity/gap analysis. * durable-objects Create and review Cloudflare Durable Objects. Use when building stateful coordination (chat rooms, multiplayer games, booking systems), implementing RPC methods, SQLite storage, alarms, WebSockets, or reviewing DO code for best practices. Covers Workers integration, wrangler config, and testing with Vitest. Biases towards retrieval from Cloudflare docs over pre-trained knowledge. * sandbox-sdk Build sandboxed applications for secure code execution. Load when building AI code execution, code interpreters, CI/CD systems, interactive dev environments, or executing untrusted code. Covers Sandbox SDK lifecycle, commands, files, code interpreter, and preview URLs. Biases towards retrieval from Cloudflare docs over pre-trained knowledge. * turnstile-spin Set up Cloudflare Turnstile end-to-end in a project — scan the codebase, create the widget via the Cloudflare API, deploy the managed siteverify Worker, write the frontend snippets, validate, and persist the skill. Load this when a user asks to add Turnstile, set up CAPTCHA, protect a form from bots, or fix a Turnstile integration. Mirrors developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/spin. * web-perf Analyzes web performance using Chrome DevTools MCP. Measures Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) and supplementary metrics (FCP, TBT, Speed Index), identifies render-blocking resources, network dependency chains, layout shifts, caching issues, and accessibility gaps. Use when asked to audit, profile, debug, or optimize page load performance, Lighthouse scores, or site speed. Biases towards retrieval from current documentation over pre-trained knowledge. * workers-best-practices Reviews and authors Cloudflare Workers code against production best practices. Load when writing new Workers, reviewing Worker code, configuring wrangler.jsonc, or checking for common Workers anti-patterns (streaming, floating promises, global state, secrets, bindings, observability). Biases towards retrieval from Cloudflare docs over pre-trained knowledge. * wrangler Cloudflare Workers CLI for deploying, developing, and managing Workers, KV, R2, D1, Vectorize, Hyperdrive, Workers AI, Containers, Queues, Workflows, Pipelines, and Secrets Store. Load before running wrangler commands to ensure correct syntax and best practices. Biases towards retrieval from Cloudflare docs over pre-trained knowledge. MCP servers Live access to the Cloudflare API, docs, and observability. MCP servers provide typed tools to call into Cloudflare at runtime. There are two options: [Code Mode](https://blog.cloudflare.com/code-mode-mcp/) — a single server that covers the entire Cloudflare API (2,500+ endpoints in \~1,000 tokens) — or a set of focused, domain-specific servers hosted in the [cloudflare/mcp-server-cloudflare ](https://github.com/cloudflare/mcp-server-cloudflare) repo. The full catalog is also in the [MCP servers for Cloudflare ](https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/model-context-protocol/cloudflare/servers-for-cloudflare/) docs. * Code mode API code mode Broad access to the full Cloudflare API via code execution, with minimal token overhead https://mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp * AI Gateway server Search your logs, get details about the prompts and responses https://ai-gateway.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp * Audit Logs server Query audit logs and generate reports for review https://auditlogs.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp * Workers Bindings server Build Workers applications with storage, AI, and compute primitives https://bindings.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp * Browser rendering server Fetch web pages, convert them to markdown and take screenshots https://browser.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp * Workers Builds server Get insights and manage your Cloudflare Workers Builds https://builds.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp * Cloudflare One CASB server Quickly identify any security misconfigurations for SaaS applications to safeguard users & data https://casb.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp * Container server Spin up a sandbox development environment https://containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp * Digital Experience Monitoring server Get quick insight on critical applications for your organization https://dex.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp * DNS Analytics server Optimize DNS performance and debug issues based on current set up https://dns-analytics.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp * Documentation server Get up to date reference information on Cloudflare https://docs.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp * GraphQL server Get analytics data using Cloudflare’s GraphQL API https://graphql.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp * Logpush server Get quick summaries for Logpush job health https://logs.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp * Observability server Debug and get insight into your application's logs and analytics https://observability.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp Wrangler CLI Local dev, deploys, and Workers-specific commands. Use [Wrangler](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/wrangler/) for local development, deploys, and product-specific commands like `wrangler d1 migrations apply` or `wrangler tail`. The bundled **wrangler** Skill teaches the agent when to reach for it. What’s next The unified `cf` CLI is in technical preview — a next-generation CLI that covers every Cloudflare product with consistent verbs and ergonomic output for agents. Try it with `npx cf`. [Read the announcement →](https://blog.cloudflare.com/cf-cli-local-explorer/) Agent-friendly docs Token-efficient references optimized for agents. Append `/index.md` to any Cloudflare docs URL for a clean markdown version. Every top-level product section also has its own `llms.txt` — a page index sized for a single context window. A few useful ones: * [developers.cloudflare.com/llms.txt](https://developers.cloudflare.com/llms.txt) — directory of every Cloudflare product. * [developers.cloudflare.com/workers/llms.txt](https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/llms.txt) * [developers.cloudflare.com/agents/llms.txt](https://developers.cloudflare.com/agents/llms.txt) * [developers.cloudflare.com/r2/llms.txt](https://developers.cloudflare.com/r2/llms.txt) * [developers.cloudflare.com/d1/llms.txt](https://developers.cloudflare.com/d1/llms.txt) For a full overview of how these docs are structured for agents, refer to the [Docs for Agents guide](https://developers.cloudflare.com/docs-for-agents/). ## Example prompts “Build an AI chat agent using the Cloudflare Agents SDK with persistent conversation history stored in D1.” “Create a RAG pipeline using Vectorize and Workers AI to answer questions over my documentation.” “Set up AI Gateway to route requests across OpenAI and Workers AI with automatic fallback and cost tracking.” “Build a serverless AI inference endpoint on Workers AI with streaming responses.” “Deploy a full-stack React app to Cloudflare Pages with a Workers API backend and D1 database.” “Add a D1 database to my Worker and create a users table with full CRUD endpoints.” “Build an image upload and transformation service using R2 and Cloudflare Images.” “Add real-time collaboration to my app using Durable Objects with WebSocket hibernation.” “Set up a KV namespace for edge-cached session storage in my Worker.” “Add a cron trigger to my Worker that processes a job queue every hour.” “Deploy a globally distributed REST API on Workers with automatic scaling and zero cold starts.” “Connect my Worker to an existing Postgres database using Hyperdrive for connection pooling.” “Add mTLS authentication and schema validation to protect my API endpoints.” “Set up rate limiting and WAF rules to block abuse on my public API.” “Build a multi-tenant SaaS backend where each customer gets an isolated D1 database.” “Set up custom domains with automatic SSL for my SaaS customers using SSL for SaaS.” “Use Workers for Platforms to let my customers deploy their own code in isolated environments.” “Add bot protection and rate limiting to my login and checkout endpoints.” “Set up WAF rules to block SQL injection and XSS attacks on my application.” “Configure Zero Trust access policies to protect my internal staging environment.” “Configure caching rules and cache TTLs to reduce origin load for my e-commerce store.” “Set up a Waiting Room to handle flash sale traffic spikes without dropping requests.” “Optimize my Worker to serve WebP images with responsive resizing using Cloudflare Images.” “Check my Workers deployment logs for errors and suggest fixes.” “Set up GitHub Actions to deploy this Worker to staging and production on Cloudflare.” “Create a Logpush job to stream Workers analytics to my data warehouse.” ## Tips * The Cloudflare API MCP server uses Code Mode — Cursor writes JavaScript against a typed API to reach any of 2,500+ endpoints in \~1,000 tokens. * Add `@wrangler.jsonc` to your Composer prompts so Cursor sees your current bindings when generating or modifying code. * For more information on available MCP servers, or when to use Code Mode versus traditional MCP servers, refer to the [Cloudflare MCP server repository ↗](https://github.com/cloudflare/mcp-server-cloudflare). ## FAQ Should I use Skills, the MCP server, Wrangler CLI, or all of them? All three work together. Skills give Cursor persistent Cloudflare knowledge loaded into every Composer prompt. The Cloudflare API MCP server handles platform operations (DNS, WAF, R2 buckets, Zero Trust). Wrangler runs local dev and Workers-specific commands. The bundled `wrangler` Skill teaches Cursor when to reach for which. How do I give Cursor access to Cloudflare? Install the Skills plugin (from the Cursor Marketplace, or Settings > Rules > Add Rule > Remote Rule with `cloudflare/skills`). The first time Cursor calls a Cloudflare tool, you will be redirected to authorize via OAuth and choose permissions. Can Cursor deploy to Cloudflare without leaving the IDE? Yes. Ask Composer to deploy your project. Cursor runs Wrangler commands in the integrated terminal and can also call the API MCP server for managed deploys and resource creation. ## Troubleshooting MCP server not connecting in Cursor Verify your `.cursor/mcp.json` configuration is valid JSON. Restart Cursor after making changes to the MCP config. Getting outdated information about Cloudflare products Enable the [Cloudflare docs MCP server](https://github.com/cloudflare/mcp-server-cloudflare) so the agent can fetch current documentation at runtime. If you prefer not to use the MCP server, point the agent directly at [developers.cloudflare.com/llms.txt](https://developers.cloudflare.com/llms.txt) for a directory of every product, or `developers.cloudflare.com//llms.txt`for a product-specific index. Composer does not understand Workers APIs Add the Cloudflare docs MCP server and Workers documentation to your project context. Use @-mentions to reference `wrangler.jsonc`. ## Build agents on Cloudflare Also worth knowing Cloudflare is not just a deploy target for agents, it is a full stack for building your own.
