This MCP server implements the Model Context Protocol, allowing remote connections with Cloudflare OAuth authentication. It provides tools powered by the Cloudflare AI Gateway API to access global internet traffic insights and trends.

Available Tools

The server offers several tools for interacting with Cloudflare AI Gateway:

Tool Description
list_gateways Lists all AI Gateways associated with the account, supporting pagination for easy navigation.
list_logs Retrieves logs for a specified gateway, offering filters such as date ranges, feedback scores, success status, model, and provider.
get_log_details Fetches detailed information about a specific log identified by its log ID within a gateway.
get_log_request_body Retrieves the request body associated with a specific log in a gateway.
get_log_response_body Retrieves the response body associated with a specific log in a gateway.

Note: To use these tools, ensure you have an active account set. If not, use accounts_list to list your accounts and set_active_account to set one as active.

Prompt Examples

Here are some example prompts you can use with the server:

  • List all my AI Gateways.
  • Show logs for gateway 'gateway-001' between January 1, 2023, and January 31, 2023.
  • Fetch the latest errors from gateway-001 and debug what might have happened wrongly

Accessing the Remote MCP Server

Using a Client with Native Support

If your MCP client has built-in support for remote MCP servers, you can directly enter the server URL:

https://ai-gateway.mcp.cloudflare.com

For example, Cloudflare AI Playground supports this functionality.

Using a Client Without Native Support

If your client doesn't support remote MCP servers, follow these steps:

  1. Install the mcp-remote package:
npm install mcp-remote
  1. Set up the client's configuration file with the following JSON:
{
	"mcpServers": {
		"cloudflare": {
			"command": "npx",
			"args": ["mcp-remote", "https://ai-gateway.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp"]
		}
	}
}
  1. Restart your MCP client
  2. Complete the OAuth authentication flow in the browser window that opens
  3. Once authenticated, the tools will become available for use

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "cloudflare" '{"command":"npx","args":["mcp-remote","https://ai-gateway.mcp.cloudflare.com/sse"]}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

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

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  • Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add this to your configuration file:

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

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
