# Introducing cf: the agentic CLI for the entire Cloudflare API

Hi everyone, Shii-chan here! Today's news is a new Cloudflare CLI.

## What was announced?

The Cloudflare Blog announced cf, a new command-line tool that covers the whole Cloudflare API and is designed mainly for use by AI agents. Forge, the internal SDK generator, is being open sourced along with it.

## The story so far

Wrangler has around 280 commands. cf expands that to more than 3,000 operations across Cloudflare's whole product suite.

Agents made up 25% of Wrangler usage in March 2026, and last week that reached 48%, up from single digits a year earlier. Agents use almost twice as many distinct commands daily and are four times more likely to run six or more commands than humans.

## What changes

- Discovery: `cf cli search` finds operations from natural language queries without inflating the context window
- JSON first: condensed JSON for agents and pretty-printed output for humans
- Configuration in TypeScript: the new `cloudflare.config.ts` replaces TOML and JSONC, with type safety and LSP support

## Dive Deep

The config file comes with helper functions:

- `bindings`: discover platform capabilities
- `triggers`: define routes, schedules, queues, and email triggers

With a factory-based structure, some configuration files that had 5,000+ lines were condensed by 40%.

Vite replaces esbuild as the default build tool, bringing hot module replacement, Rolldown-based tree-shaking, and Vite's plugin ecosystem.

Installation and migration look like this:

```
npm i -g cf
cf migrate
cf init
cf deploy
```

`cf migrate` moves you over from Wrangler automatically, and new projects start with `cf init` and `cf deploy`. The tool is open source, with issues tracked on GitHub. Wrangler will get 18 months of maintenance support after cf's open beta ends.

## Wrap-up

- cf arrives, covering the entire Cloudflare API
- From about 280 commands to 3,000+ operations
- JSON by default, and `cf cli search` for discovery
- TypeScript configuration with `cloudflare.config.ts`, and Vite for builds
- Wrangler keeps 18 months of maintenance

This is for anyone who wants to work with Cloudflare alongside agents, or manage config with types!
