What does the Cloudflare Api AI skill do?

Hit the Cloudflare REST API directly for operations that wrangler and MCP can't handle well. Bulk DNS, custom hostnames, email routing, cache purge, WAF rules, redirect rules, zone settings, Worker routes, D1 cross-database queries, R2 bulk operations, KV bulk read/write, Vectorize queries, Queues, and fleet-wide resource audits. Produces curl commands or scripts. Triggers: 'cloudflare api', 'bulk dns', 'custom hostname', 'email routing', 'cache purge', 'waf rule', 'd1 query', 'r2 bucket', 'kv bulk', 'vectorize query', 'audit resources', 'fleet operation'.

Why use Cloudflare Api on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Cloudflare Api is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Cloudflare Api in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/jezweb/claude-skills/tree/main/plugins/cloudflare/skills/cloudflare-api. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Cloudflare Api?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Cloudflare Api?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Cloudflare Api with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Cloudflare Api AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by jezweb under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.

Cloudflare Api by jezweb — AI Skill for Any LLM

Cloudflare API

Hit the Cloudflare REST API directly when wrangler CLI or MCP servers aren't the right tool. For bulk operations, fleet-wide changes, and features that wrangler doesn't expose.

When to Use This Instead of Wrangler or MCP

Use case	Wrangler	MCP	This skill
Deploy a Worker	Yes	Yes	No
Create a D1 database	Yes	Yes	No
Bulk update 50 DNS records	Slow (one at a time)	Slow (one tool call each)	Yes — batch script
Custom hostnames for white-label	No	Partial	Yes
Email routing rules	No	Partial	Yes
WAF/firewall rules	No	Yes but verbose	Yes — direct API
Redirect rules in bulk	No	One at a time	Yes — batch script
Zone settings across 20 zones	No	20 separate calls	Yes — fleet script
Cache purge by tag/prefix	No	Yes	Yes (when scripting)
Worker route management	Limited	Yes	Yes (when bulk)
Analytics/logs query	No	Partial	Yes — GraphQL
D1 query/export across databases	One DB at a time	One DB at a time	Yes — cross-DB scripts
R2 bulk object operations	No	One at a time	Yes — S3 API + batch
KV bulk read/write/delete	One at a time	One at a time	Yes — bulk endpoints
Vectorize query/delete	No	Via Worker only	Yes — direct API
Queue message injection	No	Via Worker only	Yes — direct API
Audit all resources in account	No	Tedious	Yes — inventory script

Rule of thumb: Single operations → MCP or wrangler. Bulk/fleet/scripted → API directly.

Auth Setup

API Token (recommended)

Create a scoped token at: Dashboard → My Profile → API Tokens → Create Token

bash
# Store it
export CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN="your-token-here"

# Test it
curl -s "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/user/tokens/verify" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" | jq '.success'

Token scopes: Always use minimal permissions. Common presets:

"Edit zone DNS" — for DNS operations
"Edit zone settings" — for zone config changes
"Edit Cloudflare Workers" — for Worker route management
"Read analytics" — for GraphQL analytics

Account and Zone IDs

bash
# List your zones (find zone IDs)
curl -s "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones?per_page=50" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" | jq '.result[] | {name, id}'

# Get zone ID by domain name
ZONE_ID=$(curl -s "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones?name=example.com" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" | jq -r '.result[0].id')

Store IDs in environment or a config file — don't hardcode them in scripts.

Workflows

Bulk DNS Operations

Add/update many records at once (e.g. migrating a domain, setting up a new client):

bash
# Pattern: read records from a file, create in batch
while IFS=',' read -r type name content proxied; do
  curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/dns_records" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d "{\"type\":\"$type\",\"name\":\"$name\",\"content\":\"$content\",\"proxied\":$proxied,\"ttl\":1}" \
    | jq '{name: .result.name, id: .result.id, success: .success}'
  sleep 0.25  # Rate limit: 1200 req/5min
done < dns-records.csv

Export all records from a zone (backup or migration):

bash
curl -s "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/dns_records?per_page=100" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  | jq -r '.result[] | [.type, .name, .content, .proxied] | @csv' > dns-export.csv

Find and replace across records (e.g. IP migration):

bash
OLD_IP="203.0.113.1"
NEW_IP="198.51.100.1"

# Find records pointing to old IP
RECORDS=$(curl -s "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/dns_records?content=$OLD_IP" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" | jq -r '.result[].id')

# Update each one
for RECORD_ID in $RECORDS; do
  curl -s -X PATCH "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/dns_records/$RECORD_ID" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d "{\"content\":\"$NEW_IP\"}" | jq '.success'
done

Custom Hostnames (White-Label Client Domains)

For SaaS apps where clients use their own domain (e.g. app.clientdomain.com → your Worker):

bash
# Create custom hostname
curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/custom_hostnames" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "hostname": "app.clientdomain.com",
    "ssl": {
      "method": "http",
      "type": "dv",
      "settings": {
        "min_tls_version": "1.2"
      }
    }
  }' | jq '{id: .result.id, status: .result.status, ssl_status: .result.ssl.status}'

# List custom hostnames
curl -s "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/custom_hostnames?per_page=50" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  | jq '.result[] | {hostname, status, ssl_status: .ssl.status}'

# Check status (client needs to add CNAME)
curl -s "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/custom_hostnames/$HOSTNAME_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" | jq '.result.status'

Client setup: They add a CNAME: app.clientdomain.com → your-worker.your-domain.com

Email Routing Rules

bash
# Enable email routing on zone
curl -s -X PUT "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/email/routing/enable" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN"

# Create a routing rule (forward info@ to a real address)
curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/email/routing/rules" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Forward info@",
    "enabled": true,
    "matchers": [{"type": "literal", "field": "to", "value": "info@example.com"}],
    "actions": [{"type": "forward", "value": ["real-inbox@gmail.com"]}]
  }' | jq '.success'

# Create catch-all rule
curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/email/routing/rules" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Catch-all",
    "enabled": true,
    "matchers": [{"type": "all"}],
    "actions": [{"type": "forward", "value": ["catchall@company.com"]}]
  }' | jq '.success'

# List rules
curl -s "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/email/routing/rules" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" | jq '.result[] | {name, enabled, matchers, actions}'

Cache Purge

bash
# Purge everything (nuclear option)
curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/purge_cache" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"purge_everything": true}'

# Purge specific URLs
curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/purge_cache" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"files": ["https://example.com/styles.css", "https://example.com/app.js"]}'

# Purge by cache tag (requires Enterprise or cache tag headers)
curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/purge_cache" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tags": ["product-123", "homepage"]}'

# Purge by prefix
curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/purge_cache" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prefixes": ["https://example.com/images/"]}'

Redirect Rules (Bulk)

bash
# Create a redirect rule
curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/rulesets/phases/http_request_dynamic_redirect/entrypoint" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "rules": [
      {
        "expression": "(http.request.uri.path eq \"/old-page\")",
        "description": "Redirect old-page to new-page",
        "action": "redirect",
        "action_parameters": {
          "from_value": {
            "target_url": {"value": "https://example.com/new-page"},
            "status_code": 301
          }
        }
      }
    ]
  }'

For bulk redirects (301s from a CSV), generate the rules array programmatically:

python
import json, csv

rules = []
with open('redirects.csv') as f:
    for row in csv.reader(f):
        old_path, new_url = row
        rules.append({
            "expression": f'(http.request.uri.path eq "{old_path}")',
            "description": f"Redirect {old_path}",
            "action": "redirect",
            "action_parameters": {
                "from_value": {
                    "target_url": {"value": new_url},
                    "status_code": 301
                }
            }
        })
print(json.dumps({"rules": rules}, indent=2))

Zone Settings (Fleet-Wide)

Apply the same settings across multiple zones:

bash
# Settings to apply
SETTINGS='{"value":"full"}'  # SSL mode: full (strict)

# Get all active zones
ZONES=$(curl -s "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones?status=active&per_page=50" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" | jq -r '.result[].id')

# Apply to each zone
for ZONE in $ZONES; do
  curl -s -X PATCH "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE/settings/ssl" \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d "$SETTINGS" | jq "{zone: .result.id, success: .success}"
  sleep 0.25
done

Common fleet settings:

ssl — "full" or "strict"
min_tls_version — "1.2"
always_use_https — "on"
security_level — "medium"
browser_cache_ttl — 14400

WAF / Firewall Rules

bash
# Create a WAF custom rule (block by country)
curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/rulesets/phases/http_request_firewall_custom/entrypoint" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "rules": [{
      "expression": "(ip.geoip.country in {\"RU\" \"CN\"})",
      "action": "block",
      "description": "Block traffic from RU and CN"
    }]
  }'

# Rate limiting rule
curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/rulesets/phases/http_ratelimit/entrypoint" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "rules": [{
      "expression": "(http.request.uri.path contains \"/api/\")",
      "action": "block",
      "ratelimit": {
        "characteristics": ["ip.src"],
        "period": 60,
        "requests_per_period": 100
      },
      "description": "Rate limit API to 100 req/min per IP"
    }]
  }'

Worker Routes

bash
# List routes
curl -s "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/workers/routes" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" | jq '.result[] | {pattern, id}'

# Create route
curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/workers/routes" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"pattern": "api.example.com/*", "script": "my-worker"}'

# Delete route
curl -s -X DELETE "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/workers/routes/$ROUTE_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN"

Analytics (GraphQL)

bash
# Worker analytics (requests, errors, CPU time)
curl -s -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/graphql" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "query": "{ viewer { zones(filter: {zoneTag: \"'$ZONE_ID'\"}) { httpRequests1dGroups(limit: 7, filter: {date_gt: \"2026-03-10\"}) { dimensions { date } sum { requests pageViews } } } } }"
  }' | jq '.data.viewer.zones[0].httpRequests1dGroups'

Rate Limits

Endpoint	Limit
Most API calls	1200 requests / 5 minutes
DNS record operations	1200 / 5 min (shared with above)
Cache purge	1000 purge calls / day
Zone creation	5 per minute

In scripts: Add sleep 0.25 between calls for sustained operations. Use p-limit or xargs -P 4 for controlled parallelism.

Script Generation

When the user describes what they need, generate a script in .jez/scripts/ that:

Reads API token from environment (never hardcode)
Handles pagination for list operations
Includes error checking (jq '.success' after each call)
Adds rate limit sleep between calls
Logs what it does
Supports --dry-run where possible

Prefer curl + jq for simple operations. Use Python for complex logic (pagination loops, error handling, CSV processing). Use TypeScript with the cloudflare npm package for type safety in larger scripts.

API Reference

Base URL: https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/

Full docs: https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/

The API follows a consistent pattern:

GET /zones — list
POST /zones — create
GET /zones/:id — read
PATCH /zones/:id — update
DELETE /zones/:id — delete
PUT /zones/:id/settings/:name — update setting

Every response has { success: bool, errors: [], messages: [], result: {} }.
