Agents now use `cf` for tasks like deploying Workers, managing domains, and configuring policies via natural language queries and JSON-first outputs, reducing manual filtering and improving efficiency.\n\nThe tool replaces **Wrangler** for new projects and agents, with a **TypeScript-based configuration system** (`cloudflare.config.ts`) that supports type-checking and LSP integration. It defaults to **Vite** for local development, offering hot module replacement and Rust-based optimizations. Cloudflare will maintain **Wrangler** for 18 months post-beta to aid migration. The open beta is available globally via npm.","keyPoints":["Cloudflare’s new `cf` CLI lets agents access all 3,000+ Cloudflare API operations via natural language and JSON outputs","Replaces **Wrangler** for new projects, with TypeScript configs and Vite-based development for faster iteration","Open beta available now; **Wrangler** support ends 18 months after beta concludes"],"whyItMatters":"This shifts Cloudflare’s developer experience toward agentic automation, reducing manual CLI complexity and enabling broader API use cases for AI-driven workflows.","category":{"slug":"agents","name":"Agents & Tools","url":"https://digestai.news/category/agents"},"entities":{"companies":["Cloudflare"],"models":[],"people":[]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-09-28T15:28:13Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-28T15:28:13Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"blog.cloudflare.com","title":"Cf: The Agentic CLI for the Cloudflare API","url":"https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-cf-cli-launch","publishedAt":"2026-09-28T15:28:13Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[{"site":"Hacker News","url":"https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49879577","points":47}],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Cloudflare launches cf CLI to let agents use its full API\", 28 September 2026, https://digestai.news/story/cloudflare-launches-cf-cli-to-let-agents-use-its-full-api","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Cloudflare launches cf CLI to let agents use its full API","datePublished":"2026-09-28T15:28:13Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/cloudflare-launches-cf-cli-to-let-agents-use-its-full-api"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
