Building a CLI for All of Cloudflare

4 days ago

Cloudflare has a vast API with over 100 products and nearly 3,000 HTTP API operations.
Agents are increasingly the primary customers of Cloudflare APIs, used for building, deploying, configuring, and querying analytics.
Cloudflare aims to make every product available across all interfaces needed by agents, including CLI commands, Workers Bindings, SDKs, Terraform, and documentation.
Currently, many Cloudflare products lack CLI commands in Wrangler, prompting a rebuild to make it the CLI for all Cloudflare products with infrastructure-as-code configuration.
A technical preview of the next version of Wrangler, called cf, is available via npx cf or npm install -g cf, supporting a subset of Cloudflare products.
Cloudflare is developing a new system to generate commands, configuration, and binding APIs using a TypeScript schema instead of OpenAPI, enabling consistency across interfaces.
Rules and guardrails are enforced at the schema layer for CLI consistency, ensuring uniform command syntax and defaults for agents.
Local Explorer is released as a beta feature, allowing introspection of simulated local resources (KV, R2, D1, etc.) with the same APIs as remote, accessible via /cdn-cgi/explorer/api.
Feedback is sought on the CLI technical preview and desired features for Cloudflare's platform-wide CLI, via the Cloudflare Developers Discord.
