Introducing cf: the agentic CLI for the entire Cloudflare API
Cloudflare Blog · September 28, 2026

For those managing complex web infrastructure, a new command-line tool promises to dramatically streamline the automation and configuration of your Cloudflare services. This release introduces `cf`, an agentic CLI that directly mirrors the entire Cloudflare API, enabling developers to programmatically manage services with TypeScript. It also open-sources Forge, the internal SDK generator that powers this unified interface, offering a robust foundation for consistent, API-driven workflows. This development profoundly impacts how you interact with your Cloudflare environment, allowing for unprecedented automation and precision. Consider a small e-commerce operation in Austin, Texas, using Cloudflare for DNS, WAF, and Workers. Instead of navigating separate dashboards or crafting bespoke API calls, their operations team can now write concise TypeScript scripts using `cf` to, for instance, automatically deploy a new Worker script to all domains, update WAF rules in response to a security alert, or provision new DNS records for a product launch, all from a unified command line. For an indie SaaS founder based in Denver, Colorado, shipping new features regularly, `cf` means integrating Cloudflare configuration directly into their CI/CD pipeline, automating the rollout of new edge logic or caching policies as part of their standard deployment process, saving hours of manual setup and reducing errors. A logistics startup in Chicago, Illinois, managing a distributed network of IoT devices, could leverage `cf` to script dynamic DNS updates and access policies for thousands of endpoints, ensuring secure and efficient communication across their infrastructure without human intervention. To begin leveraging this, try a focused experiment this week. Identify a repetitive Cloudflare configuration task you currently perform manually, perhaps updating DNS records for a new service or adjusting a caching rule. Install the `cf` CLI and attempt to script this single task using TypeScript. This small step will reveal the power of programmatic control and provide a concrete foundation for automating more complex workflows in your operations.
