Cloudflare Zero-Trust MCP

An MCP server that lets Claude Code manage Cloudflare Access policies, Tunnels, and WAF rules without leaving the editor. Closes the Zero Trust gap in Cloudflare's official MCP, which currently only covers DNS and analytics.

🎯The Problem

Cloudflare's official MCP exposes DNS and Workers but not Zero Trust, so anyone managing Access policies, Cloudflare Tunnels, or WAF rules is back in the dashboard clicking through 5 nested menus. Adding a new tunnel for a staging server takes 12 minutes of UI work, and writing a WAF custom rule means hand-translating English to Cloudflare's rules language.

💡The Solution

Wraps the Cloudflare Zero Trust and Rulesets APIs behind MCP tools (list_access_apps, create_access_policy, create_tunnel, draft_waf_rule). Includes a rule-translator that turns English into validated Cloudflare expressions and a dry-run that shows which requests in the last hour would have matched.

👥Target Users

Indie devs and small ops teams running 5-50 services behind Cloudflare Access who use Claude Code as their daily driver.

This is an intermediate micro-SaaS idea suited for builders with some shipping experience. Expect to work with third-party integrations, more complex data models, and nuanced user workflows that require careful planning.
