mcp-cloudflare-dns

Cloudflare DNS MCP server. Manage zones, DNS records, cache, and page rules from Claude, Cursor, Codex, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant.

# Install:  uvx mcp-cloudflare-dns

# Ask your AI:
"List all DNS records for example.com"
"Add a CNAME record pointing api.example.com to my-app.vercel.app"
"Purge the cache for https://example.com/products"
"What page rules are active on example.com?"

---

Why this one?

The official Cloudflare MCP covers Workers, KV, D1, and R2 — but has zero DNS tools. This server fills that gap.

Feature	This server	Official CF MCP
DNS record CRUD	Yes	No
Zone listing	Yes	No
Cache purge	Yes	No
Page rules	Yes	No
Zone settings	Yes	No
Workers/KV/D1/R2	No	Yes

They complement each other — use both.

Quickstart

1. Get a Cloudflare API token — dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens → Create Token → use "Edit zone DNS" template

2. Add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudflare-dns": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-cloudflare-dns"],
      "env": {
        "CF_API_TOKEN": "your-cloudflare-api-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart your AI client. Done.
