Question 1

What is Cloudflare MCP for ChatGPT?

Accepted Answer

It is a connector that lets ChatGPT manage Cloudflare via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You can handle DNS, security rules, analytics, Workers, and more using natural language.

Question 2

How do I set it up?

Accepted Answer

Create a Cloudflare API token with least-privilege scopes, provide it and your account details to the integration, then verify connectivity. Setup typically takes a few minutes.

Question 3

Which Cloudflare services are supported?

Accepted Answer

Common tasks include DNS record management, firewall rules, bot and WAF configs, analytics queries, Workers deploys, Pages, and R2 operations. Availability may vary by setup.

Question 4

Is it secure for production use?

Accepted Answer

Yes—access is gated by your Cloudflare API token, permissions are least-privilege, and requests use encrypted transport. Actions are limited to the scopes you grant.

Question 5

Can I use multiple Cloudflare accounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Configure separate tokens or profiles per account and switch as needed. Keep tokens scoped to only the zones and services each account requires.

Question 6

Does it work with ChatGPT Plus and Teams?

Accepted Answer

It is compatible with ChatGPT plans that support MCP-based tools, including Plus and Teams where enabled by your organization or admin.

Question 7

How do I troubleshoot connection issues?

Accepted Answer

Check token scopes, zone permissions, account ID, and token validity. Update the client, verify network egress to Cloudflare APIs, and rotate tokens if errors persist.

Question 8

Can I automate tasks with conversations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can script multi-step workflows conversationally—e.g., create DNS records, deploy a Worker, and set firewall rules—with context-aware guidance and checks.

Question 9

What permissions does the API token need?

Accepted Answer

Grant only what you need: e.g., DNS Edit for records, Zone Read, Workers Scripts Edit, Firewall Edit. Start with read-only, then add edits for specific tasks.

Question 10

MCP vs direct API: what's the difference?

Accepted Answer

Direct API needs manual scripting and tooling. MCP provides guided, conversational operations with guardrails, explanations, and easier multi-step workflows.
