Stream live logs from Cloudflare Tunnel in the dashboard

Real-time Tunnel log streaming is now available in the Cloudflare dashboard under Networking > Tunnels. This brings the same live debugging capability previously only available in the Cloudflare One dashboard, including multi-connector aggregated streaming for high-availability deployments.

Stream live logs from a tunnel in the Cloudflare dashboard

In the tunnel detail view, a new Live logs tab lets you:

  • Stream logs from single or multiple connectors — In highly available deployments with multiple cloudflared replicas, logs from all connectors are merged into a single stream grouped by hostname, making it easy to identify which host machine produced each log entry.
  • Filter by log level, event type, and HTTP method — Narrow the stream to only the events you care about (HTTP, TCP, UDP, or cloudflared internal), at any log level.
Go to Tunnels ↗

For more information, refer to Tunnel observability and Tunnel log streams.

Turnstile Spin is now generally available

Turnstile Spin is now generally available with three setup paths for creating a Turnstile widget and wiring canonical server-side siteverify into your existing backend. Start in the dashboard, with Wrangler, or from your AI coding agent. All three paths create the same widget. You can complete the integration by hand or have your agent embed the widget, wire siteverify, and validate it.

Server-side verification

Turnstile setup has two parts: embed the widget in your frontend, then call siteverify from your backend. Without the second part, the widget appears on the page but does not protect the request.

  • The skill includes insertion snippets for Next.js (App Router and Pages Router), Astro, SvelteKit, Hugo, and vanilla HTML. For other frameworks, the agent proposes a generic pattern and asks you to confirm it first.
  • The Turnstile dashboard flags existing widgets with no matching siteverify traffic. Select Fix with Spin to copy a prompt that guides your agent through wiring siteverify into your backend.
  • Before finishing, the agent runs a real Turnstile token through your protected endpoint, checks that it passes, then replays the token to confirm the endpoint rejects it on the second try. If a check fails, the agent stops and shows you where.

Run Spin

You can run Spin three ways:

  • In the Turnstile dashboard, select Set up with Spin, enter your domains, then select Set up. Spin creates the widget and returns the sitekey, secret, and a prompt for your agent.
  • From the Wrangler CLI, run wrangler turnstile widget create. Wrangler prints the sitekey and secret. You wire the frontend and siteverify by hand.
  • From your AI coding agent, paste the Spin prompt into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, or GitHub Copilot Chat. Your agent fetches the skill, creates the widget, then embeds it and wires siteverify.

To get started, refer to the Turnstile Spin documentation.

Workers AI and AI Gateway unify model access and billing

Workers AI and AI Gateway now provide a unified path for accessing models and managing inference traffic. Use the same AI binding and REST API to call models hosted on Workers AI or by supported third-party providers, with AI Gateway providing observability, logging, caching, security, and billing controls.

Unified entrypoints and observability

The AI binding supports both Workers AI and third-party models through env.AI.run(). The REST API provides shared /ai/ endpoints with Cloudflare authentication across providers.

Route a Workers AI request through AI Gateway by specifying a gateway ID. Use default to automatically create a gateway on the first authenticated request, or specify an existing gateway to separate applications and workloads:

const response = await env.AI.run(
	"@cf/zai-org/glm-5.2",
	{
		messages: [{ role: "user", content: "What is the capital of France?" }],
	},
	{
		gateway: { id: "default" },
	},
);
const response = await env.AI.run(
	"@cf/zai-org/glm-5.2",
	{
		messages: [{ role: "user", content: "What is the capital of France?" }],
	},
	{
		gateway: { id: "default" },
	},
);

Requests routed through AI Gateway can be logged and included in analytics for request volume, errors, latency, token usage, and costs. You can also configure controls such as caching, rate limiting, and request retries on the gateway.

Unified billing and higher rate limits

You can now use prepaid AI Gateway credits to pay for Workers AI inference. This provides one credit balance for Workers AI and supported third-party model providers. To use credits for Workers AI, set the gateway's Workers AI billing setting to Unified billing. Workers AI requests routed through that gateway deduct from your credit balance in real time.

Prepaid credits also provide access to the following Workers AI frontier models without requiring the Workers Paid plan. Each frontier Workers AI model has a rate limit of 50 requests per minute per account, per model when billed with AI Gateway credits, compared to 20 requests per minute through standard Workers AI billing:

These limits are designed for typical agentic and coding workloads, where requests to frontier models can take longer to complete.

For details, refer to Workers AI limits, Workers AI pricing, Unified Billing, and the AI Gateway model catalog.

MySQL support in Hyperdrive is now generally available

Support for MySQL in Hyperdrive is now generally available. You can connect to any MySQL database from your Workers using Hyperdrive.

Hyperdrive makes your regional, MySQL databases fast when connecting from Cloudflare Workers. It eliminates unnecessary network roundtrips during connection setup, pools database connections globally, and can cache query results to provide the fastest possible response times.

You can connect using your existing drivers, ORMs, and query builders with Hyperdrive's secure credentials, with no code changes required. MySQL support is available at the same pricing as Postgres.

import { createConnection } from "mysql2/promise";

export default {
	async fetch(request, env, ctx) {
		const connection = await createConnection({
			host: env.HYPERDRIVE.host,
			user: env.HYPERDRIVE.user,
			password: env.HYPERDRIVE.password,
			database: env.HYPERDRIVE.database,
			port: env.HYPERDRIVE.port,
			disableEval: true, // Required for Workers compatibility
		});

		const [results, fields] = await connection.query("SHOW tables;");

		ctx.waitUntil(connection.end());

		return new Response(JSON.stringify({ results, fields }), {
			headers: {
				"Content-Type": "application/json",
				"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
			},
		});
	},
};
import { createConnection } from "mysql2/promise";

export interface Env {
	HYPERDRIVE: Hyperdrive;
}

export default {
	async fetch(request, env, ctx): Promise<Response> {
		const connection = await createConnection({
			host: env.HYPERDRIVE.host,
			user: env.HYPERDRIVE.user,
			password: env.HYPERDRIVE.password,
			database: env.HYPERDRIVE.database,
			port: env.HYPERDRIVE.port,
			disableEval: true, // Required for Workers compatibility
		});

		const [results, fields] = await connection.query("SHOW tables;");

		ctx.waitUntil(connection.end());

		return new Response(JSON.stringify({ results, fields }), {
			headers: {
				"Content-Type": "application/json",
				"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*",
			},
		});
	},
} satisfies ExportedHandler<Env>;

Restart a Hyperdrive configuration from the dashboard

You can now restart a Hyperdrive configuration from the Cloudflare dashboard. Restarting drains the connection pool and forces Hyperdrive to establish new connections to your origin database.

Restarting is a break-glass action. Hyperdrive automatically detects and recovers from most database failovers. Use a manual restart only when you need to force the pool to drain immediately.

To restart, select your Hyperdrive configuration in the Cloudflare dashboard ↗︎, go to the Settings tab, and select Restart under Danger zone. Restarting requires the Hyperdrive Admin role. After a restart, the Settings tab shows when the configuration was last manually restarted.

The Danger zone section of the Hyperdrive Settings tab, showing the Restart and Delete actions.

For more information, refer to Connection pooling.

Load Balancing health notifications now resolve automatically

Load Balancing health notifications are now stateful. When a pool or endpoint becomes unhealthy, the notification opens an incident in your alerting tool as before. When that same pool or endpoint recovers, the follow-up notification is matched to the original alert and resolves that incident automatically, so you no longer have to close it by hand.

As part of this change, Load Balancing also sends a notification when a pool or endpoint returns to a healthy state, not only when it becomes unhealthy. Expect to see recovery notifications alongside the failure notifications you already receive.

This applies to your existing Load Balancing health alerts with no configuration change, and it matches the behavior already used by Health Checks notifications.

Two things to keep in mind:

  • A recovery notification is matched to the earlier unhealthy notification for the same pool or endpoint. Renaming an endpoint while an incident is open prevents the match, so that incident stays open until you close it.
  • If a health change cannot be classified as either healthy or unhealthy, the notification is still delivered, but without the state needed to open or resolve an incident.

Refer to Integrate with PagerDuty to learn more about routing Load Balancing health notifications to an incident management tool.

Container image for Cloudflare Mesh

Cloudflare Mesh nodes can now run as Docker containers. The cloudflare/mesh ↗︎ image is available on Docker Hub for Docker Compose, Kubernetes, and any OCI-compatible runtime — no host-level package installation required.

The image supports amd64 and arm64 architectures and includes built-in source NAT so return traffic routes correctly without VPC route table changes.

Deployment patterns

  • Docker Compose — add a cloudflare-mesh service to your compose.yaml and connect your entire stack to a private network.
  • Kubernetes StatefulSet — deploy a standalone Mesh node with persistent registration state.
  • Kubernetes sidecar — add the Mesh image as a sidecar container in a Pod to connect an application to Cloudflare without application changes.
  • CI/CD — pull the image in a pipeline step, join the Mesh, run integration tests against private infrastructure, and tear down. The node disappears when the container exits.

For high availability, run multiple replicas with the same Mesh node token. Cloudflare operates replicas in active-passive mode with automatic failover.

Go to Mesh ↗

For setup steps, runtime configuration, and deployment examples, refer to Run Mesh in Docker / Kubernetes.

AS-level connectivity and upstream providers on Cloudflare Radar

Radar expands its Routing section ↗︎ with two widgets on AS pages, such as AS13335 ↗︎, that describe how a network reaches the rest of the Internet: the paths it takes toward the Tier-1 ↗︎ networks, and the mix of direct upstreams carrying its routes. Both are derived from RouteViews ↗︎ RIB snapshots, unioned across selected collectors.

AS-level connectivity

The AS-level connectivity graph aggregates the BGP paths an AS uses to reach the Tier-1 networks, unioned across all the prefixes it announces, as observed by selected RouteViews collectors. It reads from left to right, starting at the queried AS and ending at the Tier-1 networks, and each node is labeled with its AS number, country, and organization name. Tier-1 nodes are marked so they stand apart from the intermediate networks that lead to them.

By default, the graph shows the network's direct connections to Tier-1 networks plus the indirect paths, which keeps the view readable. A Show full paths toggle expands it to every observed path, including transit through Tier-1 networks the AS already connects to. An IP version selector switches between IPv4 and IPv6, because the paths reaching Tier-1 networks may differ between the two address families.

AS-level connectivity graph for AS13335, showing Tier-1 networks it reaches directly alongside paths that reach others through intermediate networks

This is the AS-level counterpart to the Real-time connectivity graph on prefix pages, such as the one for 1.1.1.0/24 ↗︎. Instead of covering a single prefix, it covers the union of paths for all prefixes an AS announces, which makes it a fast way to read a network's transit hierarchy: which providers it depends on, how many hops separate it from the core, and whether its paths to the core are diverse or concentrated. For more information on the prefix-level graph, refer to BGP real-time routes.

Upstream providers

The Upstream providers widget tracks the share of an AS's observed paths carried by each of its direct upstream networks over time, drawn as a stacked area chart. Up to 10 upstreams appear as their own series and the remaining ones are grouped into Other. Transit changes such as adding a provider, dropping one, or moving traffic between them appear as movement between bands rather than as a single aggregate number. As with the connectivity graph, an IP version selector switches between IPv4 and IPv6.

Stacked area chart of the share of AS13335's observed paths carried by each of its top 10 direct upstreams, with the remainder grouped into Other

API endpoints

The data behind both widgets is also available through two new endpoints on the BGP API:

  • /bgp/routes/paths/{asn} — Returns the ordered AS path segments an AS uses to reach the Tier-1 networks, each with its observed path count, peer count, and contributing collectors, alongside the name and country of every ASN in the response. Pass collector to scope the result to a single RouteViews collector.
  • /bgp/routes/upstreams/{asn}/timeseries — Returns the share of an AS's observed paths carried by each direct upstream over time. Use limit to control how many upstreams come back as separate series before the rest are grouped into an OTHER series, and ipVersion to select the address family.

Visit the AS13335 routing page ↗︎ to explore both widgets, or swap in any other AS number.

Radar Researcher beta and WebMCP support now available

Cloudflare Radar now includes Radar Researcher ↗︎, a beta AI-powered assistant for exploring Internet trends and traffic data in plain language. Open Researcher from the header on any Radar page to ask questions by voice or text, receive explanations, and view interactive charts based on Radar API data.

Screenshot of the Radar Researcher panel alongside the Radar overview page

To ask about a specific chart, select Explain with AI to start a conversation with its underlying data and context.

Screenshot of the Explain with AI option in a Radar chart menu

You can explore further with suggested follow-up questions, find earlier conversations through searchable history, and share conversations through shareable links.

Alongside the user-facing Researcher experience, Radar now supports WebMCP, allowing browser-based AI agents to navigate Radar, search data, and use tools such as URL scanning and domain lookup.

WAF Release - 2026-08-07

This release updates WordPress XSS rule metadata in the Cloudflare Managed Ruleset and Cloudflare Free Ruleset to identify XSS2Shell (CVE-2026-64638). It also disables the Command Injection - Obfuscation rule.

Key Findings

  • CVE-2026-64638: A pre-authentication reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability affecting the WordPress login screen. Exploitation requires social engineering and explicit interaction by the target user. Under additional conditions, it may be escalated to remote code execution.

Impact

The WordPress changes update rule metadata only; detection behavior and actions remain unchanged.

AI Search makes it easier to build a search engine for your data

AI Search gets you from a data source to a working search endpoint quickly. This release adds what you need to put that endpoint in front of real users: your own domain, authentication, and one endpoint across several instances. It also adds crawling for sites without a complete sitemap, so your index covers everything you want it to find.

Each of the following is a new option. The previous behavior is still the default, so nothing changes until you change it.

Serve search from your own domain

A public endpoint is a URL that a site or app can query directly, with no authentication in front of it. By default that URL is a generated hostname on search.ai.cloudflare.com. You can now serve the same endpoint from a custom domain, a hostname in a zone that you own:

https://search.example.com/search

Restrict who can query your content

Once your endpoint is on your own domain, you can put Cloudflare Access in front of it. For example, you usually want to give /mcp to specific agents rather than to anyone who finds the URL. Agents authenticate with an Access service token, and people who open the endpoint in a browser sign in through your identity provider.

Search several instances from one URL

A namespace can expose its own public endpoint with /search, /chat/completions, and /mcp paths that fan out across the instances you choose:

curl https://ns-<NAMESPACE_ENDPOINT_ID>.search.ai.cloudflare.com/search \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "messages": [{ "content": "How do I configure AI Search?", "role": "user" }],
    "ai_search_options": { "instance_ids": ["docs", "support"] }
  }'

Index your sites without a sitemap

Website data sources support a new discover parse type. It starts at the source URL and collects pages from both your sitemaps and the links it finds while crawling:

curl -X POST "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/<ACCOUNT_ID>/ai-search/instances" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "id": "my-ai-search",
    "type": "web-crawler",
    "source": "example.com",
    "source_params": {
      "web_crawler": {
        "parse_type": "discover",
        "discover_options": { "source": "links", "limit": 5000, "depth": 3 }
      }
    }
  }'

To learn more, refer to the AI Search documentation.

Introducing Kitesurf, an agent-first browser on Browser Run

Kitesurf is Cloudflare's new stateless, highly scalable browser that runs entirely on top of Workers and is designed for AI agents. It is available for free while in beta.

Compared to Chromium, Kitesurf uses 3–7× less CPU and memory for common agentic tasks like screenshots and HTML extraction, so you can run more sessions and scale better for bursty, AI-driven workloads.

Your existing clients already work. To opt in, add the browser=kitesurf parameter to any Browser Run CDP or Quick Action endpoint:

curl -X POST 'https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/<ACCOUNT_ID>/browser-run/screenshot?browser=kitesurf' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://example.com"
  }' \
  --output "screenshot.png"

You can also explore Kitesurf without writing any code in the public playground ↗︎.

For more information, refer to the Kitesurf documentation and the blog announcement ↗︎.

Track AI spend and catch anomalous usage with User Insights

AI Gateway now includes User Insights, a dashboard that gives you two things at once: clear visibility into how much your organization spends on AI, and a security signal that surfaces users whose usage suddenly looks abnormal. It works on the traffic already flowing through your gateway, so there is no additional setup.

On the spend side, User Insights shows organization-wide totals for cost, requests, tokens, and adoption, and lets you drill into an individual user to see their spend, top models and providers, cache hit rate, and more. To attribute usage to individual users, add a user identifier with custom metadata or put your gateway behind Cloudflare Access.

On the security side, User Insights baselines each user's normal usage from their 95th percentile (p95) session cost over the last 30 days, then flags sessions that exceed both that baseline and an organization-level threshold. A sudden jump above a user's own pattern is often the first sign of a compromised credential or a misbehaving agent, so you can investigate before it shows up on your bill.

User Insights is available to all AI Gateway customers at no additional cost.

Identity-aware controls are now available in AI Gateway

AI Gateway now integrates with Cloudflare Access, giving you two new capabilities:

  • Protect your gateway endpoint. Put your AI Gateway behind Access so you can set policies that control who is allowed to call a specific gateway's endpoint.
  • Identity-aware controls. When traffic reaches AI Gateway through an Access-protected custom domain, AI Gateway can use the authenticated user's Access identity in logs, analytics, routing, and spend controls.

With identity-aware controls, you can set spend limits by authenticated user, control which gateways different users can access, filter logs by user, and build policies without passing user IDs from the client application. AI Gateway adds the verified Access user ID to request metadata as cf.user_id.

For setup instructions, refer to Cloudflare Access.

Improved publisher verification details on OAuth consent screens

OAuth consent screens now display a shield icon with explanatory text beneath the consent screen title. Each shield icon indicates who owns the application and whether its domain ownership is verified.

  • Green filled shield: Cloudflare owns and manages the application.
  • Blue outlined shield: A third-party application with verified ownership of its domain.
  • Amber filled shield: A third-party application without verified ownership of a domain.

Domain verification only confirms that the application owner controls the displayed domain.

For more information, refer to Authorizing an application.

Cloudflare Agents: trace every model call, tool run, and decision

Cloudflare Agents ↗︎ now has a dedicated home in the Cloudflare dashboard that lists your traced agents and subagents.

Select an agent to inspect its traces in two ways:

Replay a session assembles the full conversation for a turn: system instructions, user messages, model reasoning, tool calls with arguments and results, and the final response.

View a trace shows the execution timeline, connecting agent operations to Workers infrastructure so you can see where time was spent.

Framework support

Think and Flue agents are instrumented automatically. For direct AI SDK calls, wrap the namespace with wrapAISDK(). Custom harnesses can use the Workers custom spans API with OpenTelemetry Generative AI semantic conventions ↗︎.

Get Started

Check out the full blog post: Introducing: Cloudflare Agents ↗︎.

For setup details, refer to the Agent tracing documentation.

Build and deploy Artifacts repos on every push

You can now run your CI/CD pipeline on your Artifacts repo by defining a CI Workflow with the CI SDK ↗︎, automatically triggered on Artifacts push events.

This allows you to:

  • Automatically build and deploy application code stored in Artifacts.
  • Run linting, type checking, tests, and other checks on every push.
  • Reuse dependencies when the lockfile (i.e. pnpm-lock.yaml) has not changed.
  • Stop deployment when a check or build fails.
  • Restrict API token access to the deployment step.
  • Deploy the output to a Worker or a Workers for Platforms User Worker.

Define your CI steps with @cloudflare/ci. Each ci.runner() spins up an isolated sandbox, and the cache option reuses installed dependencies across each sandboxed step in your CI job.

Point cache.inputs at your lockfile (i.e. pnpm-lock.yaml, bun.lock), and the install step only runs again when that lockfile changes:

src/index.jsjs
const deps = await ci.runner({
	name: "install",
	command: "bun install --frozen-lockfile",
	cache: { inputs: ["package.json", "bun.lock"] },
});

await Promise.all([
	deps.runner({ name: "lint", command: "bun run lint" }),
	deps.runner({ name: "test", command: "bun run test" }),
	deps.runner({ name: "typecheck", command: "bun run typecheck" }),
	deps.runner({ name: "build", command: "bun run build" }),
]);

await deps.runner({ name: "deploy", command: "bun wrangler deploy" });
src/index.tsts
const deps = await ci.runner({
	name: "install",
	command: "bun install --frozen-lockfile",
	cache: { inputs: ["package.json", "bun.lock"] },
});

await Promise.all([
	deps.runner({ name: "lint", command: "bun run lint" }),
	deps.runner({ name: "test", command: "bun run test" }),
	deps.runner({ name: "typecheck", command: "bun run typecheck" }),
	deps.runner({ name: "build", command: "bun run build" }),
]);

await deps.runner({ name: "deploy", command: "bun wrangler deploy" });

To start the Workflow automatically after each push, add a cf.artifacts.repo.pushed trigger to your Wrangler configuration:

{
	"triggers": {
		"events": [
			{
				"type": "cf.artifacts.repo.pushed",
				"filter": {
					"namespace": "CI",
					"repo_name": "my-repo",
				},
				"targets": [
					{
						"type": "workflow",
						"workflow_name": "ci-workflow",
					},
				],
			},
		],
	},
}
[[triggers.events]]
type = "cf.artifacts.repo.pushed"

  [triggers.events.filter]
  namespace = "CI"
  repo_name = "my-repo"

  [[triggers.events.targets]]
  type = "workflow"
  workflow_name = "ci-workflow"

To learn more, refer to Build and deploy Artifacts repos.

Create Free accounts from the dashboard

You can now create standalone Free accounts directly from the Cloudflare dashboard using the new Create Account button. This feature is currently available to all users.

When creating a Free account:

  • You can create up to 5 Free accounts.
  • Your user account must have at least 7 days of tenure to be eligible.
  • The account is created immediately and ready to use.

To create a Free account, go to the Cloudflare dashboard ↗︎ and select Create Account from either the account switcher in the top left (where your account name appears) or from the Accounts page.

Limitations

  • This feature can only be used to create a Cloudflare Free account. To create an Enterprise Account under your existing contract, please contact Cloudflare Support.
  • All users can create a Cloudflare Free account, however, Enterprises wish to restrict this action to only Super Administrators. We will deliver this improvement in a future release.

Next steps

After creating your Free account, you can:

Vectorize indexes now support up to 20 million vectors

You can now store up to 20 million vectors in a single Vectorize index, doubling the previous limit of 10 million vectors. This enables larger-scale semantic search, recommendation systems, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications without splitting data across multiple indexes.

Vectorize continues to support indexes with up to 1,536 dimensions per vector at 32-bit precision. Refer to the Vectorize limits documentation for complete details.

AI agents can debug Workers with local tracing

wrangler dev and vite dev automatically capture structured OpenTelemetry traces and correlated console logs during local Worker invocations.

Debug with AI agents

When the tooling detects an AI agent session, it prints a terminal hint pointing to the Local Explorer API at /cdn-cgi/local/explorer/api. The API serves an OpenAPI schema and exposes a read-only observability query endpoint for discovering telemetry, querying traces and logs, and inspecting binding state.

The agent can identify the exact failing operation, fix the code, rerun the request, and verify the result. This debug loop requires no deployment or temporary logs.

Inspect traces in Local Explorer

Humans can inspect the same traces and correlated console logs in the Local Explorer browser UI. Each trace shows spans, timing, attributes, and errors.

Local Explorer showing a failed Worker trace with spans, timing, and errors

Automatic spans cover handler calls, outbound fetch() calls, and binding calls. Custom spans appear alongside these automatic spans.

For more details, refer to the Local Explorer documentation.

Node.js compatibility is now enabled by default

Workers now enable the nodejs_compat and nodejs_compat_v2 compatibility flags by default for compatibility dates of 2026-08-04 or later. These flags are not used for these compatibility dates because the compatibility date enables the same behavior.

This means all Node.js built-in APIs supported by the Workers runtime are available by default, including node:crypto, node:buffer, node:stream, node:net, node:dns, node:fs, node:http, and more. npm packages that depend on these APIs will work without additional configuration.

Workers using an earlier compatibility date are not affected. They can still opt in by adding nodejs_compat to compatibility_flags.

New projects do not need to add either flag. Existing projects can update their compatibility date without removing them. Wrangler, Miniflare, the Cloudflare Vite plugin, and Vitest Pool Workers ignore these redundant flags when starting the runtime.

To turn off Node.js compatibility completely, remove any nodejs_compat and nodejs_compat_v2 flags. Then add both of the following flags:

{
  "$schema": "./node_modules/wrangler/config-schema.json",
  // Set this to today's date
  "compatibility_date": "2026-11-06",
  "compatibility_flags": [
    "no_nodejs_compat",
    "no_nodejs_compat_v2"
  ]
}

Log in to Wrangler without a local callback server

wrangler login now supports the OAuth 2.0 Device Authorization Grant ↗︎. Pass --device to authenticate without starting a temporary callback server on localhost:8976:

npx wrangler login --device

Wrangler prints a verification URL and a short user code, opens the URL in your default browser with the code already filled in, and polls Cloudflare for an access token while you approve the request:

 ⛅️ wrangler 4.119.0
────────────────────
Attempting to login via OAuth Device Authorization Grant...
To authorize Wrangler, please visit:

  https://dash.cloudflare.com/oauth2/device

and enter the code:

  jPqK6Qvs

You have 5 minutes to approve this request.

Opening a link in your default browser: https://dash.cloudflare.com/oauth2/device?user_code=jPqK6Qvs
Successfully logged in.

The default login flow needs your browser to reach localhost:8976, which is not always possible from containers, remote SSH sessions, or GitHub Codespaces. Previously these environments required forwarding ports or fetching the callback URL with curl from a second terminal session. Because --device has no callback server, those workarounds are no longer necessary.

Since the plain verification URL and user code are both printed to the terminal, you can also approve the request from a phone or another machine. Pass --browser=false to stop Wrangler from opening a browser at all.

Available in Wrangler version 4.119.0 or later. For more information, refer to wrangler login.
