Introducing cf: the agentic CLI for the entire Cloudflare API

Over the last year, agent use of Wrangler has skyrocketed. In March 2026, agents were responsible for a quarter of Wrangler use, up from single-digit percentages the year prior. Last week, agent usage reached 48%. Agents are more prolific users, using almost twice as many distinct commands per day, and are almost four times as likely to use six or more commands.

Agents love CLIs. But Wrangler only provides commands for around 280 operations, and Cloudflare offers thousands. Today, we’re enabling agents to use every Cloudflare product by introducing a new CLI: cf. cf is built for the next generation of software development: Agents can find the command they need to do anything they want with bespoke search and steering.

Forge — Cloudflare’s new unified API generation pipeline — enabled us to expand cf from ~280 functions to cover the entire Cloudflare API surface of over 3,000 operations. Now it’s simple to give your agent cf and ask it to set up a worker, deploy it, monitor and observe it, protect it with Cloudflare Access, buy a domain, and front it with Cloudflare WAF, all from a single tool.

cf has been built from the ground up with agents in mind, and includes novel tools for agentic command discovery. Introducing a new CLI that agents have never seen sounds disruptive, but it’s the cleanest thing we can do.
