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:

1. Install Dependencies

``bash cd ~/.claude/skills/cloudflare-manager bun install ``

1. 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)

1. 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-cache flag 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 returned
• 1: 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:

bunx 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:

1. Create KV namespace for caching

``bash bun scripts/kv-storage.ts create-namespace app-cache ``

1. Create R2 bucket for media

``bash bun scripts/r2-storage.ts create-bucket app-media ``

1. Deploy worker with bindings

``bash bun scripts/workers.ts deploy app-worker ./worker.js --kv-binding app-cache --r2-binding app-media ``

1. 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 .env files - 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 (K
