Skills ↗ MCP Server ↗ Cursor Docs ↗

Quick start

1. Install Cursor

   Download Cursor for macOS, Windows, or Linux from the Cursor downloads page ↗. For additional information, see the Cursor installation guide ↗.

2. Install the Cloudflare plugin

   In Cursor, install the Cloudflare Plugin which includes Cloudflare Skills and registers the Cloudflare MCP servers in one step. You can also install from the Cursor Marketplace ↗.

   /add-plugin cloudflare

3. Try a prompt

   For example:

   Create separate staging and production environments for my Worker.

Cloudflare Skills

Persistent platform context that teaches Cursor how Cloudflare works.

Skills are instructions the agent loads on demand. The cloudflare/skills bundle ships eight Skills covering every layer of the platform — so the agent knows your conventions without you re-explaining them.

• cloudflare Comprehensive platform skill covering Workers, Pages, storage (KV, D1, R2), AI (Workers AI, Vectorize, Agents SDK), networking (Tunnel, Spectrum), security (WAF, DDoS), and IaC (Terraform, Pulumi).
• agents-sdk Building stateful AI agents with state, scheduling, RPC, MCP servers, email, and streaming chat.
• durable-objects Stateful coordination (chat rooms, games, booking), RPC, SQLite, alarms, WebSockets.
• sandbox-sdk Secure code execution for AI code execution, code interpreters, CI/CD systems, and interactive dev environments.
• wrangler Deploying and managing Workers, KV, R2, D1, Vectorize, Queues, Workflows.
• web-perf Auditing Core Web Vitals (FCP, LCP, TBT, CLS), render-blocking resources, network chains.
• building-mcp-server-on-cloudflare Building remote MCP servers with tools, OAuth, and deployment.
• building-ai-agent-on-cloudflare Building AI agents with state, WebSockets, and tool integration.

MCP servers

Live access to the Cloudflare API, docs, and observability from inside Cursor.

MCP servers give Cursor typed tools to call into Cloudflare at runtime. The cloudflare/mcp-server-cloudflare repo hosts all of them; the full catalog is also in the MCP servers for Cloudflare docs. The API server alone exposes 2,500+ endpoints in ~1,000 tokens via Code Mode.

• cloudflare-api bundled Entire Cloudflare API (2,500+ endpoints) in ~1,000 tokens via Code Mode.
• cloudflare-docs bundled Up-to-date Cloudflare documentation and reference.
• cloudflare-bindings bundled Build Workers applications with storage, AI, and compute primitives.
• cloudflare-builds bundled Manage and get insights into Workers builds.
• cloudflare-observability bundled Debug and analyze application logs and analytics.
• cloudflare-radar Global Internet traffic insights, trends, URL scans, and utilities.
• cloudflare-containers Spin up a sandbox development environment.
• cloudflare-browser Fetch web pages, convert them to markdown, and take screenshots.
• cloudflare-logpush Quick summaries for Logpush job health.
• cloudflare-ai-gateway Search AI Gateway logs and inspect prompts, responses, and token usage.
• cloudflare-autorag List and search documents on your AutoRAGs.
• cloudflare-auditlogs Query audit logs and generate reports for review.
• cloudflare-dns-analytics Optimize DNS performance and debug issues based on current setup.
• cloudflare-dex Digital Experience Monitoring — insights on critical applications.
• cloudflare-casb Cloudflare One CASB — identify SaaS security misconfigurations.
• cloudflare-graphql Query analytics data through Cloudflare's GraphQL API.

Wrangler CLI

Local dev, deploys, and Workers-specific commands.

Cursor's integrated terminal runs Wrangler for local dev and deploys. The bundled wrangler Skill teaches Composer when to call CLI commands vs. the MCP API.

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 →

Agent-friendly docs

Token-efficient references for Composer context.

Add Cloudflare docs to Composer context by @-mentioning files in your repo. For a global reference, point Composer at:

• developers.cloudflare.com/llms.txt — directory of every Cloudflare product.

• developers.cloudflare.com/workers/llms.txt
• developers.cloudflare.com/agents/llms.txt
• developers.cloudflare.com/r2/llms.txt
• developers.cloudflare.com/d1/llms.txt

For a full overview of how these docs are structured for agents, refer to the AI tooling guide.

Example prompts

“Create a Cloudflare Workers application that serves as a backend API server.” “Add a D1 database to my Worker and create a users table with CRUD endpoints.” “Build an image upload service using R2 pre-signed URLs.” “Set up a KV namespace and use it for session storage in my Worker.” “Show me how to use Hyperdrive to connect my Worker to an existing Postgres database.” “Create an AI chat agent using the Cloudflare Agents SDK that maintains conversation history.” “Build a Workers AI chatbot with streaming responses.” “Build a WebSocket-based pub/sub app using Durable Objects with hibernation.” “Add a cron trigger to my Worker that runs every hour.” “Add rate limiting and bot protection to my API endpoints.” “Set up GitHub Actions to auto-deploy this Worker to Cloudflare.” “Create separate staging and production environments for my Worker.” “Generate Vitest tests for my Worker.” “Check my deployment logs for errors and suggest fixes.” “Deploy this project to Cloudflare Workers with a custom domain.”

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 ↗.

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 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 for a directory of every product, or developers.cloudflare.com/<product>/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.
