Cloudflare Radar
Connect AI tools to Cloudflare Radar to get global Internet traffic insights, trends, URL scans, and other utilities. The Cloudflare Radar MCP server gives AI assistants secure access to Radar data through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
1. Overview
Cloudflare Radar 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://radar.mcp.cloudflare.com/mcp - Transport: HTTP (Streamable HTTP)
- Hosted by: Cloudflare
Cloudflare Radar provides data and tools about Internet traffic, attacks, adoption, and performance. The MCP server exposes this for use from AI clients.
2. Supported authentication types
| Type | Supported | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| OAuth 2.0 | Yes | Required. Uses Dynamic Client Registration (DCR); sign in with your Cloudflare account. |
| API key | No | Not used for this remote MCP server. |
When you add Cloudflare Radar 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 Radar MCP server, you can:
- Get traffic insights — Query HTTP traffic data, global or regional trends (e.g. “Show me HTTP traffic from Portugal for the last week”).
- Run URL scans — Use URL Scanner and reputation utilities; get shareable scan reports.
- Explore AS and IP data — Get information on Autonomous Systems (AS) and IP addresses.
- List traffic anomalies — Get traffic anomalies and outages from the Outage Center.
- Get trending domains — List trending domains and domain rank information.
- Create charts — Generate charts and visualizations from Radar data for reports or analysis.
4. Prerequisites
Before adding Cloudflare Radar in Cequence AI Gateway, ensure you have:
- Access to Cequence AI Gateway (e.g. beta.aigateway.cequence.ai)
- A Cloudflare account with access to Radar (as applicable)
- 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
- “What are the top Internet traffic trends by country this week?”
- “Run a URL scan for [URL] and summarize the result.”
- “Show me global outage or attack trends from Radar in the last 24 hours.”
6. Connecting MCP server from Cequence AI Gateway
- Log in to Cequence AI Gateway.
- Choose your tenant.
- Go to App catalogue.
- Filter by Remote MCP server.
- Search for Cloudflare Radar and then select it.
- Click Create MCP server.
- Choose auth method. If OAuth, you need an auth app with client credentials in your vendor account (see Prerequisites).
- Complete the setup as prompted, select tools, and deploy.
Use the generated MCP server URL in your client as described in the Client Configuration docs. For detailed UI steps and screenshots, see Create a third-party MCP Server.
