Cloudflare Dns

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to manage Cloudflare DNS records and configurations, with a particular focus on integration with Azure environments. It allows for programmatic control of DNS record types (A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, MX), proxy settings (orange/gray cloud), and facilitates the use of API tokens for secure access. The skill also supports External-DNS integration for Kubernetes deployments and provides tools for troubleshooting and monitoring Cloudflare DNS operations.

When to use it

• Automating DNS record creation and updates in Azure environments.
• Managing proxy settings (orange/gray cloud) for specific DNS records.
• Integrating with Kubernetes using External-DNS to automatically manage DNS records.
• Troubleshooting Cloudflare DNS issues by querying and analyzing DNS records.
• Creating scoped API tokens with limited permissions for enhanced security.

Key capabilities

• Management of various DNS record types: A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT, MX
• Control over proxy settings (orange/gray cloud) for DNS records.
• Integration with External-DNS for Kubernetes environments.
• API token authentication and management (scoped tokens recommended).
• Troubleshooting and monitoring of Cloudflare DNS configurations.

Example prompts

• "Create an A record named 'app' pointing to 20.185.100.50 in zone [zone ID]."
• "List all DNS records for the zone with ID [zone ID] that are of type 'A'."
• "Set the proxy status (orange/gray cloud) to proxied for the record named 'www' in zone [zone ID]."

Tips & gotchas

• API Token Required: This skill requires a Cloudflare API token for authentication. It is strongly recommended to use scoped tokens with limited permissions instead of a Global API Key.
• Zone ID Needed: You will need the Zone ID of your Cloudflare zone to interact with this skill. The skill provides instructions on how to retrieve it using curl.
• Environment Variables: Ensure that environment variables CF_API_TOKEN and CF_ZONE_ID are properly set before using the skill.
