Cloudflare’s mcp-server-cloudflare repository hosts a family of remote MCP servers for Cloudflare products, all exposed as stateless Streamable HTTP endpoints at /mcp. The broad Cloudflare API MCP server (https://mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp, maintained in cloudflare/mcp) handles general API access through code execution, while this repo holds curated, domain-specific servers.
Who it is for
Teams that deploy on Workers, Pages, R2 or D1, and anyone who wants Claude to fetch web pages or spin up sandboxes through Cloudflare.
Servers worth knowing
- Cloudflare API (
mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp): broad API coverage, recommended default. - Documentation (
docs.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp): up-to-date Cloudflare reference. - Browser Run (
browser.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp): fetch pages, convert to Markdown, take screenshots. - Container (
containers.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp): a sandbox development environment. - Others cover Digital Experience Monitoring, Cloudflare One CASB and the Cloudflare blog. Several older servers (Observability, Workers Builds, Radar and more) are marked deprecated in favor of the API server.
Install in Claude Code
The README says to connect any remote-capable client to a server URL. In Claude Code:
claude mcp add --transport http cloudflare https://mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp
claude mcp add --transport http cloudflare-docs https://docs.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcpRun /mcp to authenticate where OAuth is required. For Cloudflare-specific guidance, pair it with Cloudflare skills.
Use cases
- Ask why a Worker deploy fails, with real account configuration in view.
- Look up current Wrangler or Durable Objects docs while coding.
- Screenshot or scrape a page through Browser Run for QA.
Pros
- Official and hosted, with OAuth and account selection.
- Choice between one broad server or narrow typed ones.
Cons and caveats
- Chained tool calls can exhaust context; the README advises concise, specific queries.
- Some features need a paid Workers plan.
- Many deprecated servers still appear in older tutorials; check the README table.

Frequently asked questions
Which Cloudflare MCP server should I start with?
Cloudflare recommends the API MCP server at mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp for broad coverage, and the domain servers when you want typed tools for one product.
Do the old /sse URLs still work?
No. The retired /sse endpoints return 410 Gone. Use the /mcp URL of each server.
Are these servers free?
Connecting is free, but some features require a paid Cloudflare Workers plan, according to the README.
