How do I create a Cloudflare API Token?

Log in to the [**Cloudflare dashboard**](https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens), go to **My Profile** > **API Tokens** > **Create Token**. Use the 'Edit zone DNS' template or create a custom token with permissions for Zones, DNS, Workers, KV, Pages and Firewall as needed. Copy the token immediately — it won't be shown again.

Can I modify DNS records for multiple domains?

Yes! First use `list_zones` to find the zone ID for each domain. Then use `create_dns_record`, `update_dns_record` or `delete_dns_record` with the appropriate zone_id. You can manage DNS records across all zones your API token has access to.

Where do I find my Cloudflare Account ID?

Your Account ID appears in the Cloudflare dashboard URL after logging in (e.g. `dash.cloudflare.com//...`). You can also find it in Organization Settings. The Account ID is needed for Workers, KV namespaces and Pages project queries.

Why Use Cursor with the Cloudflare Alternative MCP Server

Cursor AI Code Editor provides unique advantages when paired with Cloudflare Alternative through the Model Context Protocol.

Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context

Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards

MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment

VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

Cloudflare Alternative + Cursor Use Cases

Practical scenarios where Cursor combined with the Cloudflare Alternative MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Code generation with live data: ask Cursor to generate a security report module using live DNS and subdomain data fetched through MCP

Automated documentation: have Cursor query your API's tool schemas and generate TypeScript interfaces or OpenAPI specs automatically

Infrastructure-as-code: Cursor can fetch domain configurations and generate corresponding Terraform or CloudFormation templates

Test scaffolding: ask Cursor to pull real API responses via MCP and generate unit test fixtures from actual data

Cloudflare Alternative MCP Tools for Cursor (15)

These 15 tools become available when you connect Cloudflare Alternative to Cursor via MCP:

create_dns_record

Requires the record type (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, etc.), name (hostname) and content (IP address, target hostname, etc.). Optionally set TTL and whether to proxy through Cloudflare CDN (proxied=true enables the orange cloud). Create a new DNS record in a Cloudflare zone

delete_dns_record

Provide the zone ID and DNS record ID. This action cannot be undone — the record will be immediately removed from Cloudflare nameservers. Delete a DNS record from a Cloudflare zone

get_kv_value

Useful for reading Worker configuration, feature flags, cached API responses or session data. Provide the namespace ID and the key name. Get a value from a Cloudflare KV namespace

get_zone

Cloudflare Alternative + Cursor FAQ

Common questions about integrating Cloudflare Alternative MCP Server with Cursor.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
