Cloudflare DNS Analytics MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides seamless access to Cloudflare's DNS Analytics data. This server enables AI assistants and applications to query, analyze, and report on DNS traffic patterns, performance metrics, and security insights directly from your Cloudflare account.

Overview

The Cloudflare DNS Analytics MCP server bridges the gap between your DNS infrastructure and AI-powered tools. By exposing Cloudflare's DNS Analytics API through the standardized MCP interface, it allows natural language interactions with your DNS data, making it easier to monitor traffic, identify trends, and troubleshoot issues without navigating through dashboards or writing custom API calls.

Features

DNS Traffic Insights

• Analyze query patterns by record type (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, etc.)
• Track geographic distribution of DNS queries
• Monitor query response times and latency metrics

Performance Analytics

• Retrieve cache hit ratios and performance statistics
• Analyze DNS resolution times across different regions
• Track DNSSEC validation metrics
• Monitor query success and failure rates

Security Monitoring

• Access threat intelligence data for DNS queries
• Review blocked or flagged malicious domains
• Analyze query patterns for potential DDoS activity
• Track rate limiting and firewall rule impacts

Time-Series Data

• Query historical DNS analytics over custom time ranges
• Compare metrics across different time periods
• Identify trends and anomalies in DNS traffic
• Generate reports for specific date ranges

Use Cases

Troubleshooting: Quickly diagnose DNS issues by asking natural language questions about query failures, latency spikes, or unusual traffic patterns.

Monitoring: Set up automated checks to monitor DNS health metrics and receive insights about performance degradation or traffic anomalies.

Reporting: Generate comprehensive DNS analytics reports without manual data extraction, perfect for security audits or infrastructure reviews.

Capacity Planning: Analyze historical trends to forecast DNS traffic growth and plan infrastructure scaling accordingly.

Benefits

The server eliminates the need to manually navigate Cloudflare's dashboard or construct complex API requests. Instead, interact with your DNS analytics data conversationally, asking questions and receiving structured insights that help you make informed decisions about your DNS infrastructure. Whether you're investigating an incident, preparing a report, or simply monitoring your DNS health, this MCP server streamlines the entire process.
