Setup Your Agent

Install an agent of your choice, connect Cloudflare Skills and MCP servers, and start deploying to Cloudflare from your editor or terminal.

Prerequisites​

Make sure you have these installed:

  • Node.js 18+ (nodejs.org)
  • Wrangler CLI: npm install -g wrangler
  • Logged in: wrangler login

If you need help, ask one of the workshop hosts.

Configure Wrangler for the workshop account​

Everyone deploys to the shared KTH workshop Cloudflare account. After logging in with wrangler login, tell Wrangler which account to use by default:

export CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID=049fa0c83d44ab59a466b059664cedca

Quick setup​

Already have an agent? Paste this into any AI coding agent to install Cloudflare agent tooling in one step:

Fetch https://developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/prompt.md

This works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, OpenCode, and Codex.

Pick your agent​

If you don't have an agent yet, pick one below and follow the setup guide on the Cloudflare docs:

Manual MCP setup​

If the quick setup doesn't work for your agent, add these MCP servers manually.

Cloudflare API (full platform access)​

Gives your agent access to the entire Cloudflare API — over 2,500 endpoints — through search() and execute() tools.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudflare-api": {
      "url": "https://mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

You'll authorize via OAuth when you first connect.

Cloudflare Documentation​

Up-to-date developer docs context for your agent:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloudflare-docs": {
      "url": "https://docs.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Agents SDK Docs​

If you're building an AI agent:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agents-sdk": {
      "url": "https://agents.cloudflare.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Other MCP servers​

Pick the ones relevant to your build:

ServerURLDescription
Workers Bindingshttps://bindings.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcpBuild Workers with storage, AI, and compute primitives
Workers Buildshttps://builds.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcpInsights and management for Workers Builds
Observabilityhttps://observability.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcpDebug with application logs and analytics

AI Gatewayhttps://ai-gateway.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcpSearch logs, inspect prompts and responses

For the full list, see Cloudflare's MCP servers in the official docs.

Verify it works​

Ask your agent to create and deploy a Hello World Worker:

Create a new Cloudflare Worker that returns "Hello from KTH!" and deploy it.

If that works, you're ready to build. Head to The Platform to see what's available, or jump straight to Project Ideas.
