What is Cloudflare DNS Manager?
This skill provides a streamlined interface for interacting with the Cloudflare API to manage domain name system settings. By utilizing the bundled shell script, developers can automate the creation and maintenance of various record types, ensuring high availability and secure routing for their web properties. As part of the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, it bridges the gap between manual dashboard management and programmatic automation.
It is designed for developers who need to handle zone records, perform domain verification, or maintain home server connectivity without leaving their development environment. Using Openclaw Skills like this one reduces the friction of context switching while managing cloud infrastructure, allowing for faster deployments and reliable DNS configurations.
Cloudflare DNS Manager Use Cases
- Automating the setup of subdomains for staging and production environments.
- Managing email verification records like MX and SPF for new domains.
- Implementing Dynamic DNS (DDNS) to keep home servers accessible via a static hostname.
- Bulk updating DNS records across multiple zones using shell automation.
- Enabling or disabling Cloudflare proxy settings programmatically to manage CDN traffic.
How Cloudflare DNS Manager Works
- Authenticate with the Cloudflare API using a secure API Token and an optional Zone ID.
- Execute the cf-dns.sh script with specific subcommands such as zones, list, or create.
- The skill parses the provided request parameters including record type, name, content, and TTL.
- It sends a signed request to the Cloudflare API to perform the requested operation.
- For Dynamic DNS tasks, the skill automatically detects the current public IP and updates the target A record to match.
- The skill returns a JSON response confirming the status of the DNS modification.
Cloudflare DNS Manager Setup
To begin using this skill within the Openclaw Skills framework, configure your environment variables to authenticate with Cloudflare:
export CF_API_TOKEN="your-api-token"
export CF_ZONE_ID="your-zone-id" # Optional: can be auto-detected from domain
You can generate an API token in the Cloudflare Dashboard under My Profile -> API Tokens using the Edit zone DNS template. The Zone ID is found on the Overview page of your specific domain.
