Cloudflare Manager
Comprehensive Cloudflare service management skill that enables deployment and configuration of Workers, KV Storage, R2 buckets, Pages, DNS records, and routing. Automatically validates API credentials, extracts deployment URLs, and provides actionable error messages.
Initial Setup
Before using this skill for the first time:
- Install Dependencies
``bash cd ~/.claude/skills/cloudflare-manager bun install ``
- Configure API Key
Create a .env file in your project root: ``bash CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY=your_api_token_here CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=your_account_id # Optional, auto-detected ``
Getting your API token:
- Visit https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens
- Click "Create Token"
- Use "Edit Cloudflare Workers" template (or create custom token)
- Required permissions:
- Account > Workers Scripts > Edit
- Account > Workers KV Storage > Edit
- Account > Workers R2 Storage > Edit
- Account > Cloudflare Pages > Edit
- Zone > DNS > Edit (if using custom domains)
- Validate Credentials
Run validation to verify your API key and check permissions: ``bash cd ~/.claude/skills/cloudflare-manager bun scripts/validate-api-key.ts ``
Expected output: ``` ✅ API key is valid! ℹ️ Token Status: active ℹ️ Account: Your Account Name (abc123...)
🔑 Granted Permissions: ✅ Workers Scripts: Edit ✅ Workers KV Storage: Edit ✅ Workers R2 Storage: Edit ```
Troubleshooting validation:
- If validation fails with 401/403: Check your API token is correct in
.env - If validation fails with network error: Check internet connection
- Use
--no-cacheflag to force fresh validation:bun scripts/validate-api-key.ts --no-cache
Current API Permissions

Quick Start Guide
Deploy a Worker Container
To deploy a new worker container sandbox:
# Using the skill
bun scripts/workers.ts deploy worker-name ./worker-script.js
What happens:
- Creates new worker container
- Deploys JavaScript/TypeScript code
- Automatically extracts and returns Cloudflare-generated URL (e.g.,
https://worker-name.username.workers.dev) - Returns worker ID and configuration
Example conversation:
User: "Set up and deploy a new cloudflare worker container sandbox named 'api-handler' and return the URL"
Claude: [Deploys worker using bun scripts/workers.ts deploy api-handler ./worker.js]
Returns URL: https://api-handler.username.workers.dev
Exit codes:
0: Success - worker deployed and URL returned1: Failure - check error message for details
Performance: Deployment typically completes in 2-5 seconds
Create and Use KV Storage
To create a KV namespace and store data:
# Create namespace
bun scripts/kv-storage.ts create-namespace user-sessions
# Returns: Namespace ID (e.g., abc123def456)
# Save this ID for binding to workers
# Write key-value pair
bun scripts/kv-storage.ts write <namespace-id> "session:user123" '{"userId":"123","token":"abc"}'
# Read value
bun scripts/kv-storage.ts read <namespace-id> "session:user123"
# Returns: {"userId":"123","token":"abc"}
# List all keys (useful for debugging)
bun scripts/kv-storage.ts list-keys <namespace-id>
# Delete a key
bun scripts/kv-storage.ts delete <namespace-id> "session:user123"
Important: KV storage uses eventual consistency. Writes may take up to 60 seconds to propagate globally. For immediate reads, use the same edge location where you wrote the data.
Create R2 Bucket and Upload Files
To create an R2 bucket and manage objects:
# Create bucket
bun scripts/r2-storage.ts create-bucket media-assets
# Upload file
bun scripts/r2-storage.ts upload media-assets ./images/logo.png logo.png
# List objects
bun scripts/r2-storage.ts list-objects media-assets
# Download object
bun scripts/r2-storage.ts download media-assets logo.png ./downloaded-logo.png
Deploy to Cloudflare Pages
To deploy a static site or application to Pages:
# Create Pages project (or get existing project info)
bun scripts/pages.ts deploy my-app ./dist
# Returns: https://my-app.pages.dev
# Set environment variable
bun scripts/pages.ts set-env my-app API_URL https://api.example.com
# Set environment variable for specific environment
bun scripts/pages.ts set-env my-app DEBUG true --env preview
# Get deployment URL
bun scripts/pages.ts get-url my-app
Auto-extracted URLs: The Pages script automatically extracts and returns the Cloudflare-generated URL (e.g., https://my-app.pages.dev) from the deployment response.
Note: The API creates the project structure, but for actual file uploads, you'll need Wrangler CLI:
npx wrangler pages deploy ./dist --project-name=my-app
Why this works: The skill creates/verifies the Pages project and returns the URL. For the initial deployment with files, Wrangler handles the complex multipart upload process.
Configure DNS and Routes
To create DNS records and configure worker routes:
# Create DNS A record
bun scripts/dns-routes.ts create-dns example.com A api 192.168.1.1
# Route pattern to worker
bun scripts/dns-routes.ts create-route example.com "*.example.com/api/*" api-handler
Common Workflows
Multi-Service Setup
To set up a complete application with worker, KV storage, and R2 bucket:
- Create KV namespace for caching
``bash bun scripts/kv-storage.ts create-namespace app-cache ``
- Create R2 bucket for media
``bash bun scripts/r2-storage.ts create-bucket app-media ``
- Deploy worker with bindings
``bash bun scripts/workers.ts deploy app-worker ./worker.js --kv-binding app-cache --r2-binding app-media ``
- Configure route
``bash bun scripts/dns-routes.ts create-route example.com "example.com/*" app-worker ``
Update Worker Configuration
To update an existing worker's code or bindings:
# Update worker code
bun scripts/workers.ts update worker-name ./new-worker-script.js
# Get worker details
bun scripts/workers.ts get worker-name
# List all workers
bun scripts/workers.ts list
Bulk KV Operations
To perform bulk operations on KV storage:
# Bulk write from JSON file
bun scripts/kv-storage.ts bulk-write namespace-name ./data.json
# Delete multiple keys
bun scripts/kv-storage.ts bulk-delete namespace-name key1 key2 key3
Error Handling
Missing API Key
If .env file is missing or CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY is not set:
Error: CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY not found in environment
Solution: Create .env file in project root:
echo "CLOUDFLARE_API_KEY=your_token_here" > .env
Invalid Permissions
If API token lacks required permissions:
Error: Insufficient permissions for Workers deployment
Required: Workers Scripts: Edit
Current: Workers Scripts: Read
Solution: Update token permissions at:
https://dash.cloudflare.com/profile/api-tokens
API Rate Limiting
If too many requests are made:
Error: Rate limit exceeded (429)
Solution: Retry automatically with exponential backoff (3 attempts)
Network Issues
If API is unreachable:
Error: Failed to connect to Cloudflare API
Solution: Check internet connection and retry
Best Practices
Security:
- Never commit
.envfiles - always add to.gitignore - Use token-based authentication (not API keys)
- Rotate tokens periodically (every 90 days recommended)
- Use least-privilege principle: only grant required permissions
- Store secrets via Wrangler CLI:
wrangler secret put SECRET_NAME
Performance:
- Deploy workers to minimize latency (they run at Cloudflare edge)
- Use KV storage for frequently-read data (not frequently-written)
- Use R2 for large files (KV
