Cursor + Cloudflare
CursorAI-first IDE built on VS Code with multi-file Composer edits and background agents. Made by Cursor.
-
Install Cursor
Download Cursor for macOS, Windows, or Linux from the Cursor downloads page ↗. For additional information, see the Cursor installation guide ↗.
-
Install the Cloudflare plugin
In Cursor, run the following command or install from the Cursor Marketplace ↗. This installs Cloudflare Skills and registers the Cloudflare MCP servers.
/add-plugin cloudflare -

Cloudflare Skills
Persistent platform context that teaches the agent how Cloudflare works.
Skills are instructions the agent loads on demand. The cloudflare/skills bundle covers every layer of the platform — so the agent knows your conventions without you re-explaining them.
MCP servers
Live access to the Cloudflare API, docs, and observability.
MCP servers provide typed tools to call into Cloudflare at runtime. There are two options: Code Mode — a single server that covers the entire Cloudflare API (2,500+ endpoints in ~1,000 tokens) — or a set of focused, domain-specific servers hosted in the cloudflare/mcp-server-cloudflare repo. The full catalog is also in the MCP servers for Cloudflare docs.
Wrangler CLI
Local dev, deploys, and Workers-specific commands.
Use Wrangler for local development, deploys,
and product-specific commands like wrangler d1 migrations apply or wrangler tail.
The bundled wrangler Skill teaches the agent when to reach
for it.
Agent-friendly docs
Token-efficient references optimized for agents.
Append /index.md to any Cloudflare docs URL for a clean markdown
version. Every top-level product section also has its own llms.txt — a page index sized for a single context window. A few
useful ones:
- developers.cloudflare.com/llms.txt — directory of every Cloudflare product.
- developers.cloudflare.com/workers/llms.txt
- developers.cloudflare.com/agents/llms.txt
- developers.cloudflare.com/r2/llms.txt
- developers.cloudflare.com/d1/llms.txt
For a full overview of how these docs are structured for agents, refer to the Docs for Agents guide.
- The Cloudflare API MCP server uses Code Mode — Cursor writes JavaScript against a typed API to reach any of 2,500+ endpoints in ~1,000 tokens.
- Add
@wrangler.jsoncto your Composer prompts so Cursor sees your current bindings when generating or modifying code. - For more information on available MCP servers, or when to use Code Mode versus traditional MCP servers, refer to the Cloudflare MCP server repository ↗.
Should I use Skills, the MCP server, Wrangler CLI, or all of them?
All three work together. Skills give Cursor persistent Cloudflare knowledge
loaded into every Composer prompt. The Cloudflare API MCP server handles
platform operations (DNS, WAF, R2 buckets, Zero Trust). Wrangler runs local
dev and Workers-specific commands. The bundled wrangler Skill teaches
Cursor when to reach for which.
How do I give Cursor access to Cloudflare?
Install the Skills plugin (from the Cursor Marketplace, or Settings > Rules
Add Rule > Remote Rule with
cloudflare/skills). The first time Cursor calls a Cloudflare tool, you will be redirected to authorize via OAuth and choose permissions.
Can Cursor deploy to Cloudflare without leaving the IDE?
Yes. Ask Composer to deploy your project. Cursor runs Wrangler commands in the integrated terminal and can also call the API MCP server for managed deploys and resource creation.
MCP server not connecting in Cursor
Verify your .cursor/mcp.json configuration is valid JSON. Restart Cursor
after making changes to the MCP config.
Getting outdated information about Cloudflare products
Enable the Cloudflare docs MCP server so the agent can fetch
current documentation at runtime. If you prefer not to use the MCP server, point
the agent directly at developers.cloudflare.com/llms.txt for
a directory of every product, or developers.cloudflare.com/<product>/llms.txt
for a product-specific index.
Composer does not understand Workers APIs
Add the Cloudflare docs MCP server and Workers documentation to your project
context. Use @-mentions to reference wrangler.jsonc.
Cloudflare is not just a deploy target for agents, it is a full stack for building your own.
