Grant only the required scopes when you connect, then authorize more on demand as your agent performs a task. When a tool call needs a scope you have not granted, the server returns an insufficient_scope challenge ↗︎ naming it, and your MCP client asks you to approve it. Scopes you already granted are kept.
To start with the least access, choose Minimal on the consent page when you connect https://mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp. Refer to authorization in MCP.
Available now in all MCP clients that support step-up authorization.
We released Monitor mode at customers' request so they can test Precursor and the Precursor Interstitial without updating bot score.
In Security > Settings, the Precursor Status dropdown now offers Off, Monitor, and Arm. Selecting Arm means Precursor detections can affect bot score and Challenge clearance. Selecting Monitor means Precursor detections do not affect bot score or Challenge clearance.
We also separated the Precursor Interstitial from the mode. Set the sitewide default with Show Interstitial, then add Interstitial Rules to customize it for specific requests. For example, leave Show Interstitial off across most of your site, but require an interstitial Challenge on /checkout to enforce a valid session before purchase.
For more information, refer to the Precursor documentation.
Cloud Workload Security (CWS) is now available in Beta. Apply policy controls to cloud API requests before they reach your cloud provider.
Define policies with request filters and Rego checks. For example, block requests that would make an R2 bucket public. Use workloads and policy sets to target your cloud environments.
Manage your policies in the Cloudflare dashboard. Run the CWS proxy in your environment and route client requests through it to enforce your policies.
CWS requires a Zero Trust subscription. The Zero Trust Free plan is sufficient.
@cf/cloudflare/clairic is now available on Workers AI as a preview. Clairic is the first extraction model: a System One model that answers with values instead of text. We intend to release the model with open weights soon.
Decision models such as Clef choose among options you define up front. Many structured-output tasks do not have answers you can list in advance: an invoice total, a delivery date, the number of days a shipment is late, or what a repair will cost. Clairic handles these. You send a state and a schema of typed fields, and it returns one typed value per field. A value is read from the input, computed from it, or predicted beyond it.
Clairic does not generate tokens. It reads your input in one pass and decodes each answer under the rules of its type, so every answer is a valid value of the type you asked for, or null when the input does not determine it.
Typed fields
Define as many fields as you need. Fields that do not fit beside the input in one pass are split across parallel passes, so there is no upper limit.
Type
Returns
text
An exact span of the input, with its character offsets
number
A number read or worked out from the input, honoring integer and decimals
date, time, datetime
Real calendar dates and valid times, in ISO form
duration
A length of time in the unit you choose
list
Every matching text, number, or date, in input order
estimate
A distribution inside your min and max, on your step grid, on a linear or log scale
forecast
One estimate per future step of a series, up to 64 steps
Every scalar answer includes p_null, the probability that the input does not determine the value, and a confidence score. Estimates and forecasts include a median and an 80% interval (p10 to p90). Set options.include_quantiles to also get all 99 percentiles. Use these to decide what to automate and what to send to review.
You can also pass up to four images alongside the state.
const response = await env.AI.run("@cf/cloudflare/clairic", { model: "clairic", state: "Invoice INV-2291 from Northwind Supply, issued 2026-09-02, net 30. 4 pallets at $250.00 each, shipping $80.00. Contact: Dana Ruiz, Priya Shah.", fields: { invoice_number: { type: "text" }, issued: { type: "date" }, due_date: { type: "date", instructions: "Issue date plus the net payment days", }, total: { type: "number", decimals: 2, unit: "USD", instructions: "Amount due including shipping", }, contacts: { type: "list", items: "text" }, },});// response.answers.invoice_number.value -> "INV-2291", with its span in the state// response.answers.total.value -> the amount due, with p_null and confidence
const response = await env.AI.run("@cf/cloudflare/clairic", { model: "clairic", state: "Invoice INV-2291 from Northwind Supply, issued 2026-09-02, net 30. 4 pallets at $250.00 each, shipping $80.00. Contact: Dana Ruiz, Priya Shah.", fields: { invoice_number: { type: "text" }, issued: { type: "date" }, due_date: { type: "date", instructions: "Issue date plus the net payment days", }, total: { type: "number", decimals: 2, unit: "USD", instructions: "Amount due including shipping", }, contacts: { type: "list", items: "text" }, },});// response.answers.invoice_number.value -> "INV-2291", with its span in the state// response.answers.total.value -> the amount due, with p_null and confidence
Preview
The current endpoint is an early checkpoint, and we expect it to improve:
Arithmetic: One- and two-step calculations, such as totals, differences, conversions, and date arithmetic, are reliable. Long chains of dependent steps and aggregations across many table rows are not yet. Extract the inputs with Clairic and do the math in code.
Estimates: Clairic estimates best when the input contains evidence such as comparables, history, or descriptive text. Without evidence, the interval is wide.
Forecasts: Forecasting is basic. Next-step forecasts follow recent patterns, but forecasts several steps out flatten toward the average, and Clairic does not anticipate events the series does not show, such as holidays. It does not replace a time-series model trained on your data.
Calibration: Intervals are trained to be calibrated and are on most held-out sets, but they can run narrow on unfamiliar data.
Confidence: Every answer is well formed, not necessarily correct. Use confidence, p_null, and the intervals to decide what to automate and what to send to review.
Dates: Dates without a year are resolved from context. If a field depends on the current date, set reference_date or add a line such as Today: 2026-10-19 to the state.
Pricing
Clairic costs $0.10 per million input tokens. Because it generates no tokens, there is no output token charge.
Get started
Use Clairic through the Workers AI binding (env.AI.run()) or the REST API at /ai/run. You can also use AI Gateway with these endpoints.
Local Explorer can now send one-off Cron Trigger invocations to a Worker's scheduled() handler during local development. This removes the need to construct request URLs when testing handler behavior.
Start your local development server with cf dev, wrangler dev, or the Cloudflare Vite plugin. Open /cdn-cgi/local/explorer on the server URL and select Cron Triggers.
The browser interface supports the following tasks:
Invoke configured cron expressions
Build ad hoc expressions
Set reusable scheduled times
Inspect outcomes and noRetry() status
Ad hoc triggers and scheduled time presets stay in your browser. They do not change cloudflare.config.ts, your Wrangler configuration, or deployed Cron Triggers. Local development does not run cron schedules automatically.
Full logs and traces are available in the development session that owns the Worker when that session has Observability turned on.
The following example uses port 8787. Replace it with your development server port, such as 5173 for Vite.
The Local Explorer API exposes the same operation for tools and AI agents. The request targets an exact Worker name and accepts a cron expression and optional scheduled time:
AI Search keyword search with the trigram tokenizer now matches Japanese, Chinese, and Korean queries, including full natural-language questions such as 経費精算の締め日はいつですか?. Previously, a query without spaces was treated as a single exact phrase and usually returned no keyword results.
The porter tokenizer does not work well for these languages. If your content is in Japanese, Chinese, or Korean, set keyword_tokenizer to trigram. Changing the tokenizer triggers a full reindex.
Cloudflare CLI 1.0.0-beta.16 includes cf docs search, so you and your coding agent can find Cloudflare documentation without leaving the terminal. Search for guides, tutorials, and examples across Cloudflare products.
To install or update to the latest release:
npm install --global cf@latest
yarn global add cf@latest
pnpm add --global cf@latest
bun add --global cf@latest
Describe what you want to do, or ask a question:
cf docs search "proxy a DNS record"cf docs search "rate limit requests with WAF"cf docs search "schedule a worker"
The command searches live Cloudflare documentation and returns up to five ranked JSON results. Each result includes a title, description, and documentation URL. An Internet connection is required.
Agents can parse the results and fetch a complete page as Markdown. For example, use jq to select the first result, then request its URL with the Accept: text/markdown header:
url=$(cf docs search "proxy a DNS record" | jq -r '.[0].url')curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" "$url"
This release also standardizes generated command names to kebab-case. For example, cf accounts billing getCredits becomes cf accounts billing get-credits. For the full list of breaking command and flag changes, refer to the Cloudflare CLI release notes ↗︎.
Published applications (public hostnames) are not routes and are not affected by this limit. Each tunnel supports roughly 5,000–10,000 published applications, depending on the size of its configuration. For details, refer to Published application limits.
Tunnels for Platforms
Every account includes 1,000 tunnels. With Tunnels for Platforms, you can now run more than 1,000 tunnels in a single account — for example, one tunnel per device, per end customer, or per development environment.
To buy additional tunnels, go to Networking > Tunnels and select Buy more tunnels in the Usage card. Additional tunnels are billed at $4.50 per tunnel per month. Enterprise customers can contact their account team for committed or usage-based pricing.
Starting today, you can create custom applications in the Application Library and reference them in Gateway DNS, Network, and HTTP policies. You can define an application with hostnames, IP subnets, or both. Then, optionally add TCP or UDP ports or port ranges to restrict HTTP and Network matching.
This release also improves search and filtering in the Application Library, updates the interfaces, data, and metrics used to review applications, and makes it easier to select and manage applications in the Gateway policy builder.
Data loss prevention (DLP) custom pattern entries can use Cloudflare Workers in your account to validate matches with organization-specific logic. Your Worker can adjust a match's confidence or reject the match.
Cloudflare WAN and Magic Transit IPsec and GRE tunnels now support BGP import and export filtering.
Create reusable filter profiles that specify an allow or deny action and a list of Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) targets with exact, more-specific, or prefix-length matching. Each tunnel supports one import filter and one export filter.
You can create and assign profiles through the dashboard, API, or Terraform. Profile changes apply without resetting the BGP session.
Cloudflare Gateway now integrates with Cloudflare Workers in public beta on all Zero Trust plans. You can use the Forward action in Gateway HTTP policies to run your own code on matching, permitted traffic without managing a separate proxy.
The Forward action lets you transform HTTP requests and responses, return a coaching page, or run background tasks such as Slack notifications and R2 captures. Your Worker receives the request and Gateway context, including connection metadata, user identity, and device posture when available.
Gateway handles the proxy connection, TLS decryption, and upstream routing. It evaluates HTTP request policies before Forward policies and inspects the final response before returning it to the user.
Gateway inspects the original request body before delivering it to your Worker. A body-inspection Block decision can interrupt the Worker.
Stream WebRTC support ↗︎ lets you deliver high quality live video to thousands of concurrent viewers in milliseconds. WebRTC is compatible with native Web APIs and standard protocols, so creators can go live from a browser ↗︎ without needing a separate broadcast application. This powers platforms to build custom experiences with deep feature integration for creators as well as viewers. Here's how to get started with a Stream live input and a browser.
Usage-based billing for WebRTC begins today, October 15, 2026 and follows the standard rates for minutes of video delivered. Refer to pricing ↗︎ for rates.
What changed
While in beta, Stream’s WebRTC support was rebuilt from the ground up to leverage Cloudflare Realtime ↗︎’s primitives for stability and scale while managing these components in Stream’s familiar, unified API that makes it easy to build. We also adopted the latest WHIP and WHEP protocol standards for Trickle ICE, server and client offer modes, and counter-offer support for improved player library compatibility and network traversal adaptability. Finally, WebRTC delivery will now be visible in Stream’s analytics ↗︎ and billable usage charts.
How does this relate to Cloudflare Realtime
Realtime exposes a set of tools and primitives to build applications that connect people, AI systems, and devices together in many-to-many experiences powered by WebRTC. Stream leverages these building-blocks to deliver one-to-many broadcast capabilities, controlled and managed by a single, unified API with features like the built-in player ↗︎ and analytics ↗︎ that make it easy to get started.
# Using cf, the new Cloudflare CLIcf stream live-inputs create# Using an API request,curl https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/stream/live_inputs \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \ -X POST
The response will include webRTC and webRTCPlayback properties, each containing a url for WHIP (broadcast) and WHEP (playback) respectively.
Next, you can go live using WHIP directly from a browser or supported broadcast software. Refer to our new tutorial ↗︎ that shows a dependency-free way to broadcast live video with browser-native JavaScript.
Finally, you can play using WHEP using Stream’s built-in player ↗︎, a supported player app/library, or simple JavaScript:
Abbreviated JavaScript playback examplejs
const pc = new RTCPeerConnection(); // 1. Ask to receive one audio track and one video track. pc.addTransceiver("video", { direction: "recvonly" }); pc.addTransceiver("audio", { direction: "recvonly" }); // 2. Attach incoming media to the video element as it arrives. const stream = new MediaStream(); document.getElementById("playback-video").srcObject = stream; pc.ontrack = (event) => stream.addTrack(event.track); // 3. Create the SDP offer and set it as the local description. const offer = await pc.createOffer(); await pc.setLocalDescription(offer); // 4. POST the offer to the WHEP endpoint. const response = await fetch(WHEP_URL, { method: "POST", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/sdp" }, body: offer.sdp, }); // 5. Apply the SDP answer returned by Cloudflare. const answer = await response.text(); await pc.setRemoteDescription({ type: "answer", sdp: answer });
@cf/daily-co/phonellm-mini-alpha-2, a model from the Pipecat ↗︎ team at Daily, is now available on Workers AI. PhoneLLM is built for voice agents and other realtime AI applications, where a model has to reply quickly and call the right tool mid-conversation.
In a voice agent, the language model sits between speech-to-text and text-to-speech, so every second it takes adds to the caller's wait. Developers usually choose between a fast model without reasoning mode, which can miss instructions or tool calls, and a slower model in reasoning mode, which handles both well. Pipecat post-trained NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Nano 30B on phone and customer support scenarios so PhoneLLM follows instructions and calls tools better without reasoning mode.
You can use PhoneLLM through the Workers AI binding (env.AI.run()) or the REST API at /ai/run. Pipecat recommends temperature: 0. Also set chat_template_kwargs: { enable_thinking: false }.
Run a voice agent with Pipecat on Workers
Pipecat ↗︎ is an open-source Python framework for building voice agents. Now that Python Workers are generally available, you can run a Pipecat voice agent on Cloudflare.
App-aware Cloudflare Access deny redirects include an account_id query parameter when account context is available. Custom block pages can use it to identify the account that owns the application represented by kid.
The account ID helps block-page integrations look up applications through account-scoped APIs. It is context, not proof of authentication or authorization.
Infrastructure applications now have a configurable session duration with a default value of 24 hours. You can set the session duration when creating or editing an infrastructure application in the dashboard or via the API.
When the session duration elapses, any active SSH connections through that application will be closed, and users will need to reconnect. Previously, infrastructure applications did not enforce a session duration limit. Sessions could persist beyond 24 hours in some cases, but were never guaranteed beyond 10 hours due to Gateway connection limits.
When a target matches multiple infrastructure applications, the shortest session duration applies.
Nameserver sets are now available in beta to Enterprise accounts. A nameserver set groups two to five custom nameserver names with Cloudflare-assigned IP addresses. You can assign the set to zones in the same account.
Enterprise customers using Cloudflare DNS can create Advanced Custom Nameserver sets. These sets distribute addresses across Advanced anycast network groups to improve resiliency.
Compared to legacy custom_ns sets, modern nameserver sets offer several advantages:
Sets are reusable objects. Accounts are no longer limited to 5 numbered sets. Create a set once and assign it to one or more zones in the same account.
Custom address counts. Assign each nameserver up to 3 IPv4 and 3 IPv6 addresses. This allows for more flexible setups.
Diverse addresses. IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are now both selected from a diverse set of prefixes for increased redundancy.
Support for Advanced Custom Nameservers. Set advanced to true to allocate addresses from Advanced anycast network groups, providing the same benefits as Cloudflare branded Advanced nameservers to your custom nameservers.
Explicit changes. Sets are immutable, so adding or removing a nameserver name never changes the configuration of zones that already use a set.
Create a set by sending a POST request to /accounts/{account_id}/dns_settings/nameserver_sets with the following body:
Cloudflare Rules supports three new functions for removing surrounding bytes. Use them to remove whitespace before comparing request values. All HTTP products support these functions on all plans:
trim() removes bytes from both ends.
trim_start() removes bytes from the start.
trim_end() removes bytes from the end.
By default, these functions remove ASCII whitespace. An optional constant string specifies a custom set of bytes.
If the input value is nil, these functions return nil.
For example, this expression removes surrounding whitespace before comparing a header value:
This emergency release adds a new managed rule to block active exploitation of a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability found in popular web frameworks.

To keep using a previous default, add the matching environment variable to your build configuration. For example, set PYTHON_VERSION to 3.13.3.
Workers Issues provides built-in error monitoring for Cloudflare Workers. It detects production failures and groups related failures into issues without an SDK or application wrapper.
The Cloudflare API MCP server now sends these issues as MCP Events ↗︎, the first event it exposes. MCP clients discover cloudflare.alert.workers_observability_real_time_issue with events/list and subscribe with events/subscribe, scoped to an account or a single Worker. When Issues detects a new or recurring issue, the server posts a signed event to the client's webhook, so an agent can start investigating without polling.
To use it, enable Issues on your Worker and connect https://mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp with the Notifications Write and Workers Observability Write permissions to a client that supports MCP Events webhooks.
The Cloudflare Agents SDK now provides a browserTool that gives your agent a Browser Run browser it can return to on later turns. Your agent can open a website, inspect a page, and come back to it with its tabs, cookies, and login session intact while the browser session remains alive.
When you give browserTool to your agent, the model writes code that drives the browser through the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). Screenshots return as images that an image-capable model can inspect and your UI can display.
Each Pi conversation gets its own active tab by default. Cookies and logins remain shared within the browser.
The browser stays alive between turns, including when the Durable Object hibernates. Its default idle timeout is 10 minutes. If the session expires or crashes, the tool creates a fresh browser and reports restarted: true. The old tabs and login state are gone.
You can also use the persistent browser with the AI SDK and TanStack AI adapters, or connect another harness through the public Browser and CDP APIs.
Refer to persistent browser tools for the complete Pi Durable example, required bindings, and behavior when a tool call is interrupted.
Audit Logs v2 now records view actions for supported endpoints, providing visibility into read activity across Cloudflare products. These actions correspond to GET requests and provide additional context for security investigations and forensic analysis.
The Audit Logs v2 dashboard excludes view actions by default to reduce noise. Remove the default Action type is not view filter to include them, or set Action type to view to show only view actions.
View actions are always available through the Audit Logs v2 API and Logpush, regardless of the dashboard filter.
You can now request DNS64 through Cloudflare Gateway DNS location settings or Extension Mechanisms for DNS (EDNS) options.
DNS64 synthesizes AAAA records from A records for IPv6-only networks. These networks require network address translation from IPv6 to IPv4 (NAT64).
Turn on Enable DNS64 for a location, or include an empty EDNS option 65051 in individual queries. Both mechanisms support UDP, TCP, DNS over TLS (DoT), and DNS over HTTPS (DoH).
The existing cf-dns-options: dns64 DoH header remains supported independently. DNS64 is off by default. Each mechanism independently requests synthesis.
For configuration, API update behavior, and request examples, refer to DNS64.
The Core Web Vitals tell you whether a page is slow but beyond perceived load time, layout instability, or responsiveness they do not guide you to the problematic area directly. To help you with this, Real User Monitoring (RUM) in Web Analytics now breaks Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) and Interaction to Next Paint (INP) into their respective sub-parts. It also splits connection time into TCP and TLS. You can see this visualised in the dashboard or query it through the GraphQL Analytics API.
LCP sub-parts
LCP is broken into four phases, so you can see which one is impacting your perceived load time:
Time to First Byte: how long the browser waits for the HTML document (timeToFirstByte in GraphQL).
Resource load delay: how long the browser takes to discover the LCP resource after the document starts arriving (lcpResourceLoadDelay).
Resource load duration: how long it takes to download that resource (lcpResourceLoadTime).
Element render delay: the gap between the resource arriving and the element appearing on screen (lcpElementRenderDelay).
You do not have to remember all this detail, there are tooltips available to guide you next to each sub-part metric in the dashboard.
INP sub-parts
INP is broken into three phases, guiding you to the area slowing down responsiveness:
Input delay: how long an interaction (click, tap or key press) is blocked before it can be processed (inpInputDelay).
Processing duration: how long your event handlers take to run (inpProcessingDuration).
Presentation delay: how long the browser takes to render the next frame after the handlers finish (inpPresentationDelay).
TCP and TLS timing
The page load timing breakdown now separates connection setup from the TLS handshake, so you can tell a slow network path from a slow TLS negotiation:
Connection time (excluding TLS) (connectionTimeWithoutTLS)
TLS handshake time: (tlsTime).
Note: we've retained connectionTime in the GraphQL API so you can still analyze the combined time.
How to query the GraphQL data
The sub-parts are available on rumWebVitalsEventsAdaptiveGroups as percentiles, for example: lcpResourceLoadDelayP50 or inpInputDelayP50. The connection split is available on rumPerformanceEventsAdaptiveGroups as connectionTimeWithoutTLSP50 and tlsTimeP50, and so on for the other percentiles.
The percentiles available are: P25, P50, P75, P90, P95, P99, P999. All values are in microseconds. A negative value means the data is not available.
Head to the 'Core Web Vitals' section, here you can scroll down the report to see the sub-parts. The 'Page Load' section contains the Connection and TLS negotiation durations.
