## Customization
**Before executing, check for user customizations at:**
`~/.claude/PAI/USER/SKILLCUSTOMIZATIONS/Cloudflare/`
If this directory exists, load and apply any PREFERENCES.md, configurations, or resources found there. These override default behavior. If the directory does not exist, proceed with skill defaults.
## MANDATORY: Voice Notification (REQUIRED BEFORE ANY ACTION)
**You MUST send this notification BEFORE doing anything else when this skill is invoked.**
1. **Send voice notification**:
```bash
curl -s -X POST http://localhost:8888/notify \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"message": "Running the WORKFLOWNAME workflow in the Cloudflare skill to ACTION"}' \
> /dev/null 2>&1 &
```
2. **Output text notification**:
```
Running the **WorkflowName** workflow in the **Cloudflare** skill to ACTION...
```
**This is not optional. Execute this curl command immediately upon skill invocation.**
# Cloudflare Skill
Deploy and manage Cloudflare Workers, Pages, and services. Uses **two complementary tools**:
- **Code Mode MCP** (primary for API operations) — `search()` + `execute()` for querying workers, managing KV/R2/D1, checking deployments, DNS, analytics. ~1,069 tokens vs 1.17M for traditional MCP.
- **Wrangler** (deploy/dev only) — `wrangler deploy`, `wrangler dev`, `wrangler pages deploy` for deploying from local files.
## Dual-Mode Reference
| Operation | Tool | Why |
|-----------|------|-----|
| Deploy Worker | `wrangler deploy` | Needs local files + wrangler.toml |
| Deploy Pages | `wrangler pages deploy` | Needs dist/ directory |
| Local dev | `wrangler dev` | Local server |
| List Workers | MCP `execute()` | API query, no local files needed |
| Check deployment status | MCP `execute()` | API query |
| Read/write KV | MCP `execute()` | API operation |
| Manage DNS | MCP `execute()` | API operation |
| View logs | MCP `execute()` | API query |
| Inspect R2/D1/Vectorize | MCP `execute()` | API operations |
| View analytics | MCP `execute()` | API query |
## Workflow Routing
**When executing a workflow, output this notification directly:**
```
Running the **WorkflowName** workflow in the **Cloudflare** skill to ACTION...
```
- **Create** Worker or MCP server → `Workflows/Create.md`
- **Troubleshoot** deployment issues → `Workflows/Troubleshoot.md`
- **Query** Cloudflare state (list workers, check KV, DNS, analytics) → `Workflows/Query.md`
## Code Mode MCP Reference
The Cloudflare Code Mode MCP server (`https://mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp`) exposes the entire Cloudflare API through 2 tools:
### `search()` — Discover endpoints
Find API endpoints by keyword. Use this when you don't know the exact path.
```
// Example: Find all Workers-related endpoints
search("workers scripts")
// Example: Find KV namespace operations
search("KV namespace")
// Example: Find DNS record endpoints
search("DNS records")
```
### `execute()` — Call the API
Execute any Cloudflare API endpoint directly. Handles auth automatically via OAuth.
```
// Example: List all Workers scripts
execute("GET /accounts/{account_id}/workers/scripts")
// Example: Read a KV value
execute("GET /accounts/{account_id}/storage/kv/namespaces/{namespace_id}/values/{key_name}")
// Example: List DNS records
execute("GET /zones/{zone_id}/dns_records")
```
### MCP Auth
Code Mode MCP handles authentication via OAuth — no tokens needed. On first use, it will prompt for Cloudflare login. After that, auth is cached.
## Quick Reference
- **Account ID:** Set via `CF_ACCOUNT_ID` environment variable
- **Worker URL format:** `https://[worker-name].[your-subdomain].workers.dev`
## Deployment Commands
### Workers Deployment
```bash
# Unset tokens that interfere with wrangler login-based auth
(unset CF_API_TOKEN && unset CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN && wrangler deploy)
```
### Pages Deployment
**CRITICAL: ALL env tokens lack Pages permissions. MUST unset them to use OAuth:**
```bash
# ALWAYS unset tokens for Pages - OAuth login works, tokens don't
(unset CF_API_TOKEN && unset CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN && bunx wrangler pages deploy dist --project-name=PROJECT_NAME --commit-dirty=true)
```
## Critical Notes
- **Workers:** Unset `CF_API_TOKEN` and `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN` before deploying - they interfere with wrangler login-based auth
- **Pages:** UNSET ALL TOKENS - None of the API tokens have Pages permissions. OAuth-based wrangler login is the ONLY method that works.
- **API queries:** Use Code Mode MCP instead of manual `curl` or `fetch()` to `api.cloudflare.com`
- **Wrangler stays for:** deploy, dev, pages deploy, and local config only
## Examples
**Example 1: Deploy a Worker**
```
User: "deploy the MCP server to Cloudflare"
-> Invokes CREATE workflow
-> Unsets env tokens, runs wrangler deploy
-> Verifies via MCP execute() that worker is live
-> "Deployed to https://mcp-server.[subdomain].workers.dev"
```
**Example 2: Query Cloudflare state**
```
User: "list all my workers"
-> Invokes QUERY workflow
-> MCP search("workers scripts") to find endpoint
-> MCP execute("GET /accounts/{id}/workers/scripts")
-> Returns list of all deployed workers
```
**Example 3: Fix deployment error**
```
User: "Cloudflare deploy is failing with auth error"
-> Invokes TROUBLESHOOT workflow
-> MCP execute() to check deployment status and logs
-> Identifies token interference
-> "Fixed - tokens were overriding OAuth. Redeployed successfully."
```
**Example 4: Check DNS records**
```
User: "what DNS records does example.com have?"
-> Invokes QUERY workflow
-> MCP search("DNS records") + execute() to list records
-> Returns full DNS record table
```
This skill deploys and manages Cloudflare Workers, Pages sites, and MCP servers to accelerate agentic AI infrastructure. It automates common deployment flows, enforces required environment handling, and provides troubleshooting for auth and deployment errors. Use it to reliably push Workers or Pages and to diagnose token-related failures.
Before performing any action the skill issues a local voice notification and a text notification announcing the workflow and intent. It inspects environment variables (CF_API_TOKEN, CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN) and will unset them where they interfere with wrangler OAuth login, then runs the appropriate wrangler commands to deploy Workers, Pages, or MCP servers. Troubleshooting workflows detect token overrides and other auth issues and guide a fix-and-redeploy flow.
What notification does the skill send before actions?
The skill sends a local voice notification via a POST to http://localhost:8888/notify and prints: Running the **WorkflowName** workflow in the **Cloudflare** skill to ACTION...
Why must I unset CF_API_TOKEN and CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN?
Those tokens can override wrangler's OAuth login and cause authentication failures; unsetting them forces wrangler to use OAuth which is required for Pages and recommended for Workers.
