Cloudflare MCP connector
The Cloudflare connector lets Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client look up your Cloudflare accounts, zones, members, roles, firewall rules, rule sets, WAF overrides, and audit logs through one governed Elaichi endpoint, inside each person's own access.
-
How it connects. Connects with an API key. The credential goes into a vault nobody reads back.
-
One address. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, the same for every user.
-
Their own access. An agent never gets more than the person it acts for.

Use cases
What teams do with Cloudflare through Elaichi
Every one of these runs inside the access the person already has, and lands in the same audit log.
-
Security
Review firewall rules before a change window
Ask which firewall rules and rule sets are active on a zone and get them read back in plain language before anyone touches production.
-
IT
Check who still has access to Cloudflare
List every member across your Cloudflare accounts with their roles, then spot contractors and former staff who should no longer be there.
-
Compliance
Pull Cloudflare audit history for a review
When an auditor asks who changed what and when, have the agent read the Cloudflare audit log for the period and summarize it.
-
Support
Find the zone behind a customer domain
When a customer says their site is misbehaving, look up the zone it sits in and read its details without opening the Cloudflare dashboard.
-
Engineering
Compare rule sets across staging and production
Fetch the rule sets attached to two zones and ask where they differ before a release goes out.
-
Operations
Inventory every domain across accounts
List all zones across every Cloudflare account you manage for a quarterly ownership review, in one question instead of account by account.
Try asking
- “Which zones changed firewall rules in the last week?”
- “List members with admin roles on our production account.”
- “Show WAF overrides active across all Cloudflare zones.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Cloudflare to Claude?
Connect Cloudflare in Elaichi first, then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Cloudflare connects with an API key, so the sign-in step is pasting a key from your Cloudflare account into Elaichi. There is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate.
Does Cloudflare work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Cloudflare is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Cloudflare once and every client you use sees it.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Cloudflare data?
With the Cloudflare connector, an agent can list your accounts, zones, members and their roles, firewall rules, rule sets, WAF overrides, and audit logs, and look up any one of them by ID. That means you can ask in plain language which firewall rules protect a domain, who has access to an account, or what changed last week, and get an answer from live Cloudflare records. This connector reads Cloudflare; it does not change settings.
Does connecting Cloudflare give the AI access to every account and zone?
No. Everything the agent sees in Cloudflare follows the access of the person who signed in with their key, so it can only read the accounts and zones that person can already read in Cloudflare. Elaichi can narrow that further with restrictions per action, and it can never widen it beyond what Cloudflare itself allows.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Cloudflare?
The Cloudflare connector in Elaichi only lists and looks up records such as zones, firewall rules, and members, so there is nothing here that deletes or changes a Cloudflare setting. On top of that, Elaichi restrictions work per action, so you can turn off any individual capability for a team. A blocked action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor, so no prompt can reach it.
What happens to a Cloudflare connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Cloudflare through Elaichi at once, across every client they used. A shared Cloudflare connection keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you want to remove Cloudflare entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client at the same time.
Does the Cloudflare MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Cloudflare is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.
Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for Cloudflare?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Cloudflare. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every Cloudflare call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for Cloudflare?
Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to Cloudflare: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
