Cloudflare Domains Management

Provide guidance for managing domains, DNS records, and Cloudflare Pages deployments using the Cloudflare MCP tools.

Overview

This skill enables proactive assistance with Cloudflare services:

Zones: List and manage domains/zones in the account
DNS: Create, update, and delete DNS records
Pages: Deploy static sites and connect custom domains
Storage: Work with KV, R2, D1, Queues, and Vectorize

When to Proactively Suggest Cloudflare Actions

Suggest Cloudflare operations when:

User mentions domains or DNS: Offer to list zones, check DNS records, or suggest configurations
User is building a static site or landing page: Suggest deploying to Cloudflare Pages
User discusses "for sale" or parked domains: Offer to deploy landing pages and configure DNS
User asks about hosting options: Recommend Cloudflare Pages for static content
User is working with Workers code: Offer deployment assistance

Available MCP Tools

The Cloudflare MCP server provides tools for:

Zone Management

List all zones in the account
Get zone details and settings
Check zone status

DNS Operations

List DNS records for a zone
Create new DNS records (A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, MX, etc.)
Update existing records
Delete records

Cloudflare Pages

List Pages projects
Create new Pages projects
Deploy static sites
Connect custom domains to projects
View deployment status

Storage Services

KV: Key-value storage operations
R2: Object storage (upload, download, list)
D1: SQL database queries
Queues: Message queue operations
Vectorize: Vector database operations

Common Workflows

Listing Domains

To see all domains in the account:

Use the zones list tool
Display zone names, status, and IDs
Offer to show DNS records for any zone

Setting Up a "For Sale" Landing Page

For parked domains needing landing pages:

Create a Pages project with a simple HTML landing page
Deploy the static content to the project
Connect the custom domain to the Pages project
Configure DNS to point to Pages (CNAME record)

Example DNS configuration for Pages:

Type: CNAME
Name: @ (or subdomain)
Target: <project-name>.pages.dev
Proxied: Yes

DNS Record Management

Common DNS record patterns:

Root domain to Pages:

Type: CNAME
Name: @
Target: project.pages.dev
Proxied: Yes

WWW subdomain:

Type: CNAME
Name: www
Target: project.pages.dev
Proxied: Yes

Email (MX records):

Type: MX
Name: @
Target: mail.provider.com
Priority: 10

Domain verification (TXT):

Type: TXT
Name: @
Content: "verification-string"

Deploying Static Sites

To deploy a static site to Cloudflare Pages:

Prepare the static files (HTML, CSS, JS, images)
Create a Pages project with appropriate name
Upload/deploy the files to the project
Verify deployment succeeded
Add custom domain if needed

Environment Variables

The MCP server requires these environment variables:

CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN: API token with appropriate permissions
CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID: The Cloudflare account ID

These should be set in the user's shell environment or Claude Code configuration.

Proactive Assistance Patterns

When User Mentions a Domain Name

When user mentions a specific domain:

Offer to check if it exists in their Cloudflare zones
If found, offer to show current DNS configuration
Suggest relevant actions (add records, deploy site, etc.)

When User Creates HTML/Static Content

When user creates a landing page or static site:

Ask if they want to deploy to Cloudflare Pages
Suggest creating a Pages project
Offer to deploy the content
Help connect a custom domain if needed

When User Discusses Domain Strategy

When user discusses domain management:

Offer to list all zones in account
Suggest organizational approaches
Help with bulk DNS operations if needed

Best Practices

DNS Management

Prefer proxied mode for web traffic (orange cloud) unless DNS-only is specifically needed
Keep TTL at "Auto" unless specific caching needs exist
Document changes as they're made

Pages Deployments

Use descriptive project names
Verify custom domain DNS before connecting
Check deployment logs for errors

Security

Never expose API tokens in code or output
Use minimal required permissions for API tokens
Prefer environment variables for credentials

Error Handling

Common issues and solutions:

Zone not found: Verify the domain is added to Cloudflare account

DNS record conflict: Check for existing records with same name/type

Pages deployment failed: Check file paths and content validity

Custom domain error: Ensure DNS is correctly configured and propagated
