About Cloudflare MCP Server
What you can do
Connect AI agents to Cloudflare's platform for comprehensive edge infrastructure management:
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings Cloudflare data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 25 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- Manage Workers — list, inspect, delete serverless functions across your account
- Control deployments — version history, immediate/gradual rollouts, rollback capabilities
- Manage secrets — create, list, and delete encrypted environment secrets securely
- Configure routes — URL patterns that trigger Workers at specific paths or domains
- Query KV storage — read/write key-value pairs from Workers KV namespaces
- Execute D1 queries — run SQL queries against Cloudflare's serverless SQLite databases
- Inspect R2 buckets — list and manage object storage buckets
- Monitor analytics — zone traffic, Worker invocations, CPU usage, and error rates
- Tail Worker logs — create real-time logging sessions for debugging in production
- Purge CDN cache — clear cached content to serve fresh origin data
The Cloudflare MCP Server exposes 25 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to VS Code Copilot in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Cloudflare + VS Code Copilot Use Cases
Practical scenarios where VS Code Copilot combined with the Cloudflare MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Live API integration: Copilot can query an MCP server, inspect the response schema, and generate typed API client code in the same step
DevSecOps workflows: security teams can give developers access to domain intelligence tools directly in their editor for real-time vulnerability assessment during code review
Data pipeline development: Copilot fetches sample data via MCP and generates transformation scripts, validators, and test fixtures from actual API responses
Documentation generation: Copilot queries available tools and auto-generates README sections, API reference docs, and usage examples
Cloudflare MCP Tools for VS Code Copilot (25)
These 25 tools become available when you connect Cloudflare to VS Code Copilot via MCP:
create_deployment
Strategy can be immediate (100% traffic immediately) or gradual (percentage-based rollout). Requires script name, version ID, and deployment strategy. Use this to roll out new features, rollback to previous versions, or perform canary deployments. Deploy a specific Worker version to traffic
create_secret
Secrets are encrypted at rest and injected at runtime. Requires script name, secret name, and secret value. Common use: API keys, database passwords, OAuth tokens. The secret becomes available via env.VARIABLE_NAME in your Worker code. Create or update a secret for a Cloudflare Worker
create_tail_session
log() output and exceptions. Returns a tail ID and WebSocket URL for streaming logs. Use this for debugging Workers in production or monitoring error output. Create a tail logging session for a Cloudflare Worker
create_worker_route
Requires zone ID, URL pattern (e.g., "example.com/api/*"), and script name. Use this to expose your Worker at specific URL paths or domains. Create a new route pattern for a Cloudflare Worker
delete_secret
Use this to clean up unused secrets or rotate credentials. Requires script name and secret name. After deletion, the Worker will no longer have access to the secret value. Delete a secret from a Cloudflare Worker
delete_tail_session
Requires script name and tail ID. Use this to clean up unused tail sessions when debugging is complete. Delete a tail logging session for a Cloudflare Worker
delete_worker
This action cannot be undone. Requires the script name. Confirm with the user before proceeding. Delete a Cloudflare Worker script and all its associated resources
delete_worker_route
Use this to stop serving a Worker at specific URLs. Requires zone ID and route ID. Delete a route pattern from a Cloudflare Worker
get_kv_key
Returns the raw value as JSON. Use this to read configuration values, cached responses, or user data stored in KV. Get the value of a specific key in a KV namespace
get_worker
Requires the script name from list_workers results. Use this to review Worker configuration before making updates or debugging. Get detailed information about a specific Cloudflare Worker
get_worker_analytics
Returns data for recent invocations. Use this to monitor Worker performance, identify errors, or track usage trends. Get analytics data for a specific Cloudflare Worker
get_worker_version
Requires script name and version ID from list_worker_versions results. Use this to audit version contents or prepare for rollback deployment. Get detailed information about a specific Worker version
get_zone_analytics
Returns aggregated data for the last 24 hours. Use this to monitor traffic patterns, identify spikes, or measure CDN performance. Get analytics data for a specific Cloudflare zone
list_d1_databases
Returns database IDs, names, creation dates, and file sizes. Use this to identify available databases before querying. List all D1 databases in your Cloudflare account
list_deployments
Returns deployment IDs, version IDs, strategies (immediate, gradual), creation dates, and traffic percentages. Use this to review current deployment state, monitor gradual rollouts, or identify which version is live. List all deployments for a specific Cloudflare Worker
list_kv_keys
Returns key names, expiration metadata, and sizes. Use this to audit stored data or find specific keys before reading values. List all keys in a specific KV namespace
list_kv_namespaces
KV namespaces are key-value stores for Workers. Returns namespace IDs, titles, and creation dates. Use this to identify which namespaces exist before reading/writing data. List all KV namespaces in your Cloudflare account
list_r2_buckets
Returns bucket names, creation dates, and storage locations. Use this to identify available storage buckets before managing objects. List all R2 storage buckets in your Cloudflare account
list_secrets
Returns secret names and types (secret_text, secret_key). Secret values are never returned for security. Use this to audit which secrets are configured before adding new ones or cleaning up unused secrets. List all secrets for a specific Cloudflare Worker
list_worker_routes
Returns route patterns, associated script names, and zone IDs. Use this to understand which URLs invoke your Worker before adding or removing routes. List all route patterns associated with a Cloudflare Worker
list_worker_versions
Each version represents a deployed code snapshot with unique ID, creation date, and metadata. Returns version IDs, timestamps, and author information. Use this to review deployment history, rollback to previous versions, or audit code changes. List all versions of a specific Cloudflare Worker
list_workers
Returns script names, creation dates, modification dates, and deployment status. Use this as the first step to identify which Workers exist before managing versions, deployments, or secrets. List all Cloudflare Workers scripts in your account
list_zones
Returns zone IDs, domain names, status, plan, and name servers. Use this to identify zone IDs needed for Worker routes, DNS management, or cache operations. List all DNS zones in your Cloudflare account
purge_cache
