Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed

You need

PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudflare": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-cloudflare-crunchtools"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add cloudflare -- uvx mcp-cloudflare-crunchtools

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {

      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [

Common questions

Is MCP Cloudflare safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 8 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

MCP Cloudflare CrunchTools

A secure MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Cloudflare DNS, Transform Rules, Page Rules, and cache management.

Overview

This MCP server is designed to be:

Secure by default - Threat modeling, input validation, and token protection
No third-party services - Runs locally via stdio, your API token never leaves your machine
Cross-platform - Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
Automatically updated - GitHub Actions monitor for CVEs and update dependencies
Containerized - Available at quay.io/crunchtools/mcp-cloudflare built on Hummingbird Python base image

Naming Convention

Component	Name
GitHub repo	crunchtools/mcp-cloudflare
Container	`quay.io/crunchtools/mcp-cloudflare`
Python package (PyPI)	`mcp-cloudflare-crunchtools`
CLI command	`mcp-cloudflare-crunchtools`
Module import	`mcp_cloudflare_crunchtools`

Why Hummingbird?

The container image is built on the Hummingbird Python base image from Project Hummingbird, which provides:

Minimal CVE exposure - Hummingbird images are built with a minimal package set, dramatically reducing the attack surface compared to general-purpose images
Regular updates - Security patches are applied promptly, keeping CVE counts low
Optimized for Python - Pre-configured Python environment with uv package manager for fast, reproducible builds
Production-ready - Designed for production workloads with proper signal handling and non-root user defaults

This means your MCP server runs in a hardened environment with fewer vulnerabilities than typical Python container images
