Cloudflare Skill

Connect to Cloudflare API for DNS management, tunnels, and zone administration.

Setup

1. Get Your API Token

1. Go to dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens
2. Create a token with required permissions:
   • Zone:Read - List domains
   • DNS:Edit - Manage DNS records
   • Account:Cloudflare Tunnel:Edit - Manage tunnels
3. Copy the token

2. Configure

# Option A: Store in file (recommended)
echo "YOUR_API_TOKEN" > ~/.cloudflare_token
chmod 600 ~/.cloudflare_token

# Option B: Environment variable
export CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN="YOUR_API_TOKEN"

3. Test Connection

./scripts/setup.sh

Commands

Zones (Domains)

./scripts/zones/list.sh                    # List all zones
./scripts/zones/list.sh --json             # JSON output
./scripts/zones/get.sh example.com         # Get zone details

DNS Records

# List records
./scripts/dns/list.sh example.com
./scripts/dns/list.sh example.com --type A
./scripts/dns/list.sh example.com --name api

# Create record
./scripts/dns/create.sh example.com \
  --type A \
  --name api \
  --content 1.2.3.4 \
  --proxied

# Create CNAME
./scripts/dns/create.sh example.com \
  --type CNAME \
  --name www \
  --content example.com \
  --proxied

# Update record
./scripts/dns/update.sh example.com \
  --name api \
  --type A \
  --content 5.6.7.8

# Delete record
./scripts/dns/delete.sh example.com --name api --type A

Tunnels

# List tunnels
./scripts/tunnels/list.sh

# Create tunnel
./scripts/tunnels/create.sh my-tunnel

# Configure tunnel ingress
./scripts/tunnels/configure.sh my-tunnel \
  --hostname app.example.com \
  --service http://localhost:3000

# Get run token
./scripts/tunnels/token.sh my-tunnel

# Delete tunnel

Common Workflows

Point subdomain to server

./scripts/dns/create.sh mysite.com --type A --name api --content 1.2.3.4 --proxied

Set up tunnel for local service

# 1. Create tunnel
./scripts/tunnels/create.sh webhook-tunnel

# 2. Configure ingress
./scripts/tunnels/configure.sh webhook-tunnel \
  --hostname hook.mysite.com \
  --service http://localhost:8080

# 3. Add DNS record
TUNNEL_ID=$(./scripts/tunnels/list.sh --name webhook-tunnel --quiet)
./scripts/dns/create.sh mysite.com \
  --type CNAME \
  --name hook \
  --content ${TUNNEL_ID}.cfargotunnel.com \
  --proxied

# 4. Run tunnel
TOKEN=$(./scripts/tunnels/token.sh webhook-tunnel)
cloudflared tunnel run --token $TOKEN
