## Introduction

### How to integrate Cloudflare api key MCP with Grok Build
[Grok Build](https://docs.x.ai/build/overview) is xAI's terminal coding agent. It runs on Grok 4.5, plans its work before it acts, and can run multiple sub-agents in parallel. It also reads Claude Code's MCP configuration, so any server you already have in a .mcp.json is picked up with no changes.
In this guide, I will show you how to connect your Cloudflare api key account to Grok Build through Composio, so it can add new A record to your DNS zone, delete outdated CNAME record from domain, create lockdown rule for admin URLs, and more without leaving the terminal. Composio holds the OAuth tokens for you, and Grok Build only calls the tools you approve.

## TL;DR

### Why use Composio over a standalone MCP server?
- Read and write access. Composio's Cloudflare api key integration lets Grok Build take real actions like creating drafts, sending updates, and labeling records, not just reading data.
- 1,000+ SaaS toolkits out of the box. One endpoint gives you a full catalog of pre-built connectors, from Gmail and Slack to Notion, Linear, and Salesforce.
- One MCP server for every app. Wire up a single Composio server instead of maintaining a separate MCP entry for each app.
- Smart, context-aware tool loading. Grok Build caps how many tools it holds in a single request. Composio loads only the tools a task needs, so you do not spend that budget on tools you are not using.
- Cross-app automation. Chain actions across apps in one run. Pull a thread, summarize it in Notion, and post the highlights to Slack from a single prompt.

## Connect Cloudflare api key to Grok Build

### Prerequisites
- Grok Build installed and signed in. Install with curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash on macOS or Linux, or irm https://x.ai/cli/install.ps1 | iex on Windows PowerShell. On first launch Grok opens a browser to authenticate; for headless or CI use, set an XAI_API_KEY environment variable instead (create the key at [console.x.ai](https://console.x.ai/)).
- Access to the Cloudflare api key account you want to connect.
- The [Composio MCP endpoint](https://dashboard.composio.dev/login?utm_source=toolkits&utm_medium=framework_template&utm_campaign=grok-build&utm_content=composio_connect). Composio's server is remote and hosted, so there is nothing to run locally and no tunnel to set up.
### Step-by-step: Connect Cloudflare api key to Grok Build
### 1. Install and verify Grok Build
Install the CLI, then restart your shell so the grok binary lands on your PATH:

```bash
curl -fsSL https://x.ai/cli/install.sh | bash
which grok
```

## What is the Cloudflare api key MCP server, and what's possible with it?

The Cloudflare api key MCP server is an implementation of the Model Context Protocol that connects your AI agent and assistants like Claude, Cursor, etc directly to your Cloudflare account. It provides structured and secure access to your Cloudflare services, so your agent can create DNS records, manage security rules, delete zones, and automate zone configurations on your behalf.
- Automated DNS record management: Instantly create, update, or delete DNS records—including A, CNAME, TXT, and MX types—across your Cloudflare zones to keep your domains running smoothly.
- Zone lockdown and security automation: Add or remove Zone Lockdown rules to restrict access to specific URLs and IP ranges, helping you enforce security policies without manual intervention.
- Ruleset creation and maintenance: Direct your agent to create new rulesets or modify existing ones, ensuring your web applications remain secure and compliant with evolving access requirements.
- Comprehensive zone administration: Effortlessly delete entire zones or DNSSEC configurations for streamlined domain management and cleanup when needed.
- Versioned ruleset management: Retrieve specific versions of entry point rulesets, giving you granular control and auditability over your security configurations.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is the difference between the Composio Tool Router and a standalone Cloudflare api key MCP server?

A standalone Cloudflare api key MCP server gives Grok Build a fixed set of Cloudflare api key tools tied to that one server. The Composio Tool Router lets Grok Build load tools from Cloudflare api key and many other apps on demand, based on the task, all through a single endpoint.

### Does Grok Build support MCP?

Yes. Grok Build ships with native MCP support. Add a server with the grok mcp add command, from the in-session /mcps modal, or by editing ~/.grok/config.toml. It also reads Claude Code-style .mcp.json files, so Grok Build discovers the tools automatically.

### Can I reuse the same MCP config I already use with Claude Code?

Yes. Grok Build has zero-migration compatibility with Claude Code's configuration, so the same Composio server entry works in both without edits.

### How safe is my Cloudflare api key data with Composio?

Tokens, keys, and configuration are encrypted at rest and in transit. Composio is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant, so your Cloudflare api key data and credentials are handled to that standard.
