How to connect Cloudflare to OpenClaw
Connect Cloudflare to OpenClaw with ClawLink: paste your Cloudflare key once and 20 tools work from chat. No MCP server to run, nothing stored on your machine.
CloudflareAPI KEYMCPManage DNS, zones, workers, and security settings. Once connected, OpenClaw can read and act on Cloudflare from chat — pairing, token refresh, and tool wiring handled for you.
The usual route to Cloudflare access for OpenClaw is an MCP server you configure and keep running, plus your own OAuth app or API keys. ClawLink gives OpenClaw a more practical Cloudflare setup: install one ClawHub skill, connect Cloudflare in the browser, and OpenClaw can call real Cloudflare actions from any chat surface with no auth, token refresh, or tool wiring to build yourself.
Copy this prompt into OpenClaw, or open the Cloudflare skill on ClawHub.
Before installing anything, inspect the ClawHub skill metadata and setup requirements.
If the skill asks you to install a third-party package or CLI, verify its source, maintainer, and package contents before running the install command.
Install the skill "Cloudflare" (hith3sh/cloudflare-infrastructure) from ClawHub only after those checks pass.
Skill page: https://clawhub.ai/hith3sh/cloudflare-infrastructure
Keep the work scoped to this skill only.
After install, help me finish setup from verified skill metadata.
Use only the metadata you can verify from ClawHub; do not invent missing requirements.
Ask before making any broader environment changes.Setup
It takes three steps to connect OpenClaw to Cloudflare.
1Install the plugin
Paste the setup prompt into OpenClaw, or install from the terminal and ask OpenClaw to pair:
openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-plugin- 2
Connect Cloudflare
Paste your API key in the dashboard.

Use it from chat
Ask OpenClaw: "What can you do with Cloudflare?"
Install by command
The setup prompt above does all of this in one paste. By hand, it is one install command plus a browser approval:
openclaw plugins install clawhub:clawlink-pluginThen ask OpenClaw to set up ClawLink. It starts browser pairing and prints an approval link — open it, approve the device, return to the chat, and say done. Finally, connect Cloudflare in the ClawLink dashboard — paste your Cloudflare API key once.
Verify the connection by asking OpenClaw:
Create it in Cloudflare for me, then confirm the important fields before you finish.
Using a different agent?
The OpenClaw plugin is one client of ClawLink's MCP server. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or any agent that can run a shell command pairs with the same ClawLink account through the CLI:
npx -y @useclawlink/cli loginlogin opens the same browser approval and stores a credential locally. Once Cloudflare is connected in the dashboard, that agent calls the same 20 Cloudflare tools over MCP. Full setup for MCP clients and shell agents: connect apps to any AI agent.

ClawLink vs. building it yourself
The alternative to ClawLink is usually manual API key setup plus your own token handling, permission troubleshooting, and tool plumbing for OpenClaw. That is fine if you want to build and maintain the integration yourself. Most teams just want Cloudflare working from chat.
| Manual | ClawLink | |
|---|---|---|
| Credential handling | Collect, validate, store, and rotate the Cloudflare API key yourself, then make sure every tool call uses the right account. | Users complete the hosted ClawLink setup once and the connected Cloudflare account becomes available to the agent without you building credential management. |
| Ongoing maintenance | You own refresh logic, permission debugging, environment config, and every provider-specific edge case for Cloudflare. | ClawLink handles the repetitive integration plumbing so your team can focus on the workflow instead of the infrastructure. |
| Agent usability | You still need to expose the right Cloudflare actions to the runtime in a format your agent can reliably use. | 20 tools for Cloudflare are already exposed through ClawLink, so the agent can read and act from chat immediately. |
ClawLink vs. Composio
Composio also exposes Cloudflare to AI agents. It is developer infrastructure: Python and TypeScript SDKs, an MCP server, and a catalog past 1,000 apps, aimed at teams shipping agent products. ClawLink is built for OpenClaw users instead. You install the plugin once, connect Cloudflare in the browser, and the 20 tools above work from chat. There is no SDK and no config file, and the Cloudflare key you paste at setup is stored server-side rather than kept in your environment. Choosing between them?

Troubleshooting
OpenClaw installed the Cloudflare skill but can't call the tools
The ClawHub skill teaches OpenClaw about Cloudflare, but the calls run through the ClawLink plugin and your connected account. Make sure Cloudflare is connected in the dashboard, then start a fresh chat so OpenClaw reloads the tool catalog. If OpenClaw runs as a persistent gateway, restart it so the new tools register.
Connection succeeds but no tools appear
Reconnect Cloudflare from the dashboard, then start a fresh chat if the runtime still has the old tool catalog loaded.
"Tool schema not loaded yet" error when calling Cloudflare tools
Cloudflare tool schemas load on demand the first time a tool runs and are cached after that, so this error usually clears on its own: wait a few seconds and retry the same request. If every Cloudflare call keeps failing with it in a fresh chat, reconnect from the dashboard, and contact support if it still persists — that pattern points to a configuration problem on our side, not something you can fix by reconnecting again.
Cloudflare returns 403 or "permission denied" on one action while others work
Two usual causes. The connected account may not have access to the specific workspace, inbox, store, or project in the request — check that first. If access looks right, the agent may have sent a placeholder value (like "YOUR_ID" or an example id from documentation) instead of a real one: ask it to run a list or search tool first, then retry the action with a real id from those results. Most failures at this stage are one of these two, not ClawLink bugs.
API key setup works but results look incomplete
Double-check that the API key for Cloudflare has the right scopes or account access. A valid key can still be too limited for some reads or writes.
