Cloudflare Digital Experience Monitoring

Connect AI tools to Cloudflare Digital Experience Monitoring (DEX) to get quick insight on critical applications for your organization. The Cloudflare DEX MCP server gives AI assistants secure access to digital experience metrics and data through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

1. Overview​

Cloudflare Digital Experience Monitoring is a remote, vendor-hosted MCP server provided by Cloudflare. You connect to it from Cequence AI Gateway; the server uses Streamable HTTP (the standard transport for remote MCP per Cloudflare’s MCP docs).

  • Server URL: https://dex.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp
  • Transport: HTTP (Streamable HTTP)
  • Hosted by: Cloudflare

2. Supported authentication types​

TypeSupportedNotes
OAuth 2.0YesRequired. Uses Dynamic Client Registration (DCR); sign in with your Cloudflare account.
API keyNoNot used for this remote MCP server.

When you add Cloudflare Digital Experience Monitoring in Cequence AI Gateway, authentication is handled via OAuth 2.0 with Dynamic Client Registration. You sign in with your Cloudflare account and grant access during the gateway flow.

3. What can you do with this MCP server​

With the Cloudflare DEX MCP server, you can:

  • Get application insights — Query digital experience metrics for your critical applications (self-hosted like Jira and Bitbucket, or SaaS like Figma or Salesforce).
  • Monitor user experience — Understand performance and experience from the user’s perspective across your Cloudflare One deployment.
  • Surface DEM test results — Fetch Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) test results and surface performance and availability trends.
  • Ask targeted questions — e.g. Which users had the worst experience? What times of day were applications most or least performant? When do you see the most HTTP status errors? When do you see the shortest, longest, or most instability in the network path?
  • Report and summarize — Generate summaries or reports on DEX data for your organization.

4. Prerequisites​

Before adding Cloudflare Digital Experience Monitoring in Cequence AI Gateway, ensure you have:

  • Access to Cequence AI Gateway (e.g. beta.aigateway.cequence.ai)
  • A Cloudflare account with DEX (Digital Experience Monitoring) enabled
  • A modern browser to complete the OAuth authorization flow
  • For OAuth authentication: an auth app with client credentials (client ID and client secret) in your Cloudflare (vendor) account, unless the server supports Dynamic Client Registration (DCR).

5. Example workflows​

  • “Show DEX metrics for my top 5 critical applications.”
  • “Summarize digital experience issues in the last 24 hours.”
  • “Which applications have the lowest satisfaction score this week?”
