Quick start

1. Install the package.

Available tools

Tool group	Tools	Purpose
Zone inventory	list_zones, get_zone, get_zone_settings	Inspect available zones and key settings
DNS records	list_dns_records, get_dns_record, create_dns_record, update_dns_record, delete_dns_record	Read and mutate records
Edge actions	purge_cache, list_page_rules	Invalidate cached content and inspect page rules

delete_dns_record and full-cache actions stay gated behind the destructive env flags described in docs/start-here.md.

Runtime proof

Claim	Proof
Package entry point is stable	mcp-cloudflare-dns = "cf.server:main" in pyproject.toml
Server is MCP-specific, not a generic CLI	FastMCP("mcp-cloudflare-dns") in cf/server.py
Cloudflare failures are retried	_call() in cf/server.py
Release artifacts are built	dist/ wheel and tarball are checked into the repo

Repo map

Path	Purpose
cf/server.py	FastMCP tool surface, env loading, retry wrapper
pyproject.toml	Package metadata, version, script entry point
server.json	Registry-facing metadata for MCP discovery
docs/start-here.md	Setup, env, validation, common failures
docs/architecture.md	Component map and request lifecycle

Validation

Check	Command
Import compiles	python -m compileall cf
Package builds	python -m build
README links stay local	rg '\\]\\(([^)]+\\.md)\\)' README.md docs/
