How to Use the Cloudflare Alternative MCP in Windsurf
Let Cascade manage your DNS shifts, KV updates, and firewall audits autonomously inside the Windsurf IDE.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Cloudflare Alternative MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Cloudflare Alternative to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Autonomous DNS Shifts in Windsurf
This server lets Cascade run `list_zones` to find your domain and `create_dns_record` to point to your public IP autonomously. The agent grabs the server's public IP from your workspace, builds the A record, and updates your DNS zone file in seconds. If an old record blocks the path, Cascade flags it and runs `delete_dns_record` before rewriting. You get complete DNS management handled by your IDE client using MCP.
Instant Edge Data and KV Audits
Direct access to edge configuration is available to Cascade through `list_kv_namespaces` and `get_kv_value`. When debugging edge-cached data, Cascade doesn't make you open a web dashboard; it locates your configuration store and reads the required keys instantly. If a feature flag needs an immediate change, the agent writes the new payload back using `put_kv_value`. This MCP Server exposes these direct edge database operations directly to your autonomous workspace.
Traffic and Firewall Diagnostics
Your edge analytics are exposed to Cascade through `get_zone_analytics` and `list_firewall_rules`. Find out why API requests are failing by letting Cascade pull traffic spikes and block events. The agent identifies the bad rules and suggests the exact IP ranges to allow list using `list_cloudflare_ips`. You get a complete diagnosis of your edge network security without leaving the Windsurf editor.
