Changelog

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:

curl -X POST \
  "http://localhost:8787/cdn-cgi/local/explorer/api/local/scheduled?worker=my-worker" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{"cron":"0 * * * *","scheduled_time":1745856238000}'

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 ↗︎.

For more information, refer to Find Cloudflare documentation with a coding agent.

The Cloudflare CLI, cf, is now in beta. cf is one command-line interface for the public Cloudflare API and for Workers projects. Use it to manage zones, DNS, storage, and security settings, and to create, develop, and deploy Workers, without switching between tools.

Install cf globally, then sign in:

npm install --global cf

yarn global add cf

pnpm add --global cf

bun add --global cf

cf auth login

With cf, you can:

• Manage resources across Cloudflare. More than 2,900 commands cover the public Cloudflare API, and most print their results as JSON.
• Create and deploy Workers. cf init creates a project that uses cloudflare.config.ts, a typed configuration file. cf dev, cf build, and cf deploy develop, build, and deploy it.
• Move from Wrangler. cf migrate converts a Wrangler configuration file to cloudflare.config.ts. You can also run cf resource commands in an existing Wrangler project without migrating it.
• Work with coding agents. cf cli search finds the command for a task from a plain-language description, so an agent can find and run commands without prior knowledge of cf.

cf is in beta. Commands, configuration, and Build Output can change before the stable release.

To get started, refer to Install and sign in. To move an existing project, refer to Migrate a Wrangler project.
